19-3465; Rev 1; 5/05 1V, Low-Power, DirectDrive, Stereo Headphone Amplifier with Shutdown Features The MAX9725 fixed-gain, stereo headphone amplifier is ideal for portable equipment where board space is at a premium. The MAX9725 uses a unique, patented DirectDriveTM architecture to produce a ground-referenced output from a single supply, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost, board space, and component height. Fixed gains of -2V/V (MAX9725A), -1.5V/V (MAX9725B), -1V/V (MAX9725C), and -4V/V (MAX9725D) further reduce external component count. The MAX9725 delivers up to 20mW per channel into a 32 load and achieves 0.006% THD+N. An 80dB at 1kHz power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) allows the MAX9725 to operate from noisy digital supplies without an additional linear regulator. The MAX9725 includes 8kV ESD protection on the headphone output. Comprehensive click-andpop circuitry suppresses audible clicks and pops at startup and shutdown. A low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current to 0.6A (typ).

Detailed Description The MAX9725 stereo headphone driver features Maxim's patented DirectDrive architecture, eliminating the large output-coupling capacitors required by conventional single-supply headphone drivers. The MAX9725 consists of two 20mW class AB headphone drivers, shutdown control, inverting charge pump, internal gain-setting resistors, and comprehensive click-and-pop suppression circuitry (see the Functional Diagram). A negative power supply (PVSS) is created by inverting the positive supply (VDD). Powering the drivers from VDD and PVSS increases the dynamic range of the drivers to almost twice that of other 1V single-supply drivers. This increase in dynamic range allows for higher output power. The outputs of the MAX9725 are biased about GND (Figure 1). The benefit of this GND bias is that the driver outputs do not have a DC component, thus large DCblocking capacitors are unnecessary. Eliminating the DC-blocking capacitors on the output saves board space, system cost, and improves frequency response. 6 DirectDrive Conventional single-supply headphone drivers have their outputs biased about a nominal DC voltage (typically half the supply) for maximum dynamic range. Large coupling capacitors are needed to block the DC bias from the headphones. Without these capacitors, a significant amount of DC current flows to the headphone, resulting in unnecessary power dissipation and possible damage to both headphone and headphone driver. Maxim's DirectDrive architecture uses a charge pump to create an internal negative supply voltage. This allows the MAX9725 outputs to be biased about GND, increasing the dynamic range while operating from a single supply. A conventional amplifier powered from 1.5V ideally provides 18mW to a 16 load. The MAX9725 provides 25mW to a 16 load. The DirectDrive architecture eliminates the need for two large (220F, typ) DC-blocking capacitors on the output. The MAX9725 charge pump requires two small ceramic capacitors, conserving board space, reducing cost, and improving the frequency response of the headphone driver. See the Output Power vs. Charge- _______________________________________________________________________________________ 1V, Low-Power, DirectDrive, Stereo Headphone Amplifier with Shutdown VOUT VDD / 2 GND CONVENTIONAL DRIVER-BIASING SCHEME VDD VOUT GND -VDD DirectDrive BIASING SCHEME Figure 1. Traditional Driver Output Waveform vs. MAX9725 Output Waveform (Ideal Case) Pump Capacitance and Load Resistance graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics for details of the possible capacitor sizes. Previous attempts to eliminate the output-coupling capacitors involved biasing the headphone return (sleeve) to the DC-bias voltage of the headphone amplifiers. This method raises some issues: * The sleeve is typically grounded to the chassis. Using this biasing approach, the sleeve must be isolated from system ground, complicating product design. * During an ESD strike, the driver's ESD structures are the only path to system ground. The driver must be able to withstand the full ESD strike. * When using the headphone jack as a line out to other equipment, the bias voltage on the sleeve may conflict with the ground potential from other equipment, resulting in possible damage to the drivers. f-3dB = 1 2RLCOUT where RL is the impedance of the headphone and COUT is the value of the DC-blocking capacitor. The highpass filter is required by conventional singleended, single power-supply headphone drivers to block the midrail DC-bias component of the audio signal from the headphones. The drawback to the filter is that it can attenuate low-frequency signals. Larger values of COUT reduce this effect but result in physically larger, more expensive capacitors. Figure 2 shows the relationship between the size of COUT and the resulting low-frequency attenuation. Note that the -3dB point for a 16 headphone with a 100F blocking capacitor is 100Hz, well within the normal audio band, resulting in low-frequency attenuation of the reproduced signal. 2) The voltage coefficient of the DC-blocking capacitor contributes distortion to the reproduced audio signal as the capacitance value varies when the function of the voltage across the capacitor changes. At low frequencies, the reactance of the capacitor dominates at frequencies below the -3dB point and the voltage coefficient appears as frequency-dependent distortion. Figure 3 shows the THD+N introduced by two different capacitor dielectric types. Note that below 100Hz, THD+N increases rapidly. The combination of low-frequency attenuation and frequency-dependent distortion compromises audio reproduction in portable audio equipment that emphasizes low-frequency effects such as multimedia laptops, as well as MP3, CD, and DVD players. These low-frequency, capacitor-related deficiencies are eliminated by using DirectDrive technology. Charge Pump The MAX9725 features a low-noise charge pump. The 580kHz switching frequency is well beyond the audio range, and does not interfere with the audio signals. The switch drivers feature a controlled switching speed that minimizes noise generated by turn-on and turn-off transients. The di/dt noise caused by the parasitic bond wire and trace inductance is minimized by limiting the turn-on/off speed of the charge pump.

Distortion Contributed By DC-Blocking Capacitors frequency noise attenuation can be achieved by increasing the size of C2 (see the Functional Diagram). Extra noise attenuation is not typically required. the internal input resistor (25k, typ) causing an audible click and pop. Delaying the rise of SHDN 4 or 5 time constants, based on RIN x CIN, relative to the startup of the preamplifier eliminates any click and pop caused by the input filter (see the Functional Diagram). Shutdown The MAX9725's low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current to 0.6A. Driving SHDN low disables the amplifiers and charge pump. The driver's output impedance is typically 50k (MAX9725A), 37.5k (MAX9725B), 25k (MAX9725), or 100k (MAX9725D) when in shutdown mode. Click-and-Pop Suppression In conventional single-supply audio drivers, the outputcoupling capacitor is a major contributor of audible clicks and pops. Upon startup, the driver charges the coupling capacitor to its bias voltage, typically half the supply. Likewise, on shutdown, the capacitor is discharged to GND. This results in a DC shift across the capacitor that appears as an audible transient at the speaker. The MAX9725's DirectDrive technology eliminates the need for output-coupling capacitors. The MAX9725 also features extensive click-and-pop suppression that eliminates any audible transient sources internal to the device. The Power-Up/Down Waveform in the Typical Operating Characteristics shows minimal DC shift and no spurious transients at the output upon startup or shutdown. In most applications, the output of the preamplifier driving the MAX9725 has a DC bias of typically half the supply. At startup, the input-coupling capacitor is charged to the preamplifier's DC bias voltage through 8 Applications Information Power Dissipation Linear power amplifiers can dissipate a significant amount of power under normal operating conditions. The maximum power dissipation for each package is given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section under Continuous Power Dissipation or can be calculated by the following equation: PDISSPKG(MAX) = TJ(MAX) - TA JA where TJ(MAX) is +150C, TA is the ambient temperature, and JA is the reciprocal of the derating factor in C/W as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. For example, JA for the thin QFN package is +59.3C/W. The MAX9725 has two power dissipation sources, the charge pump and the two amplifiers. If the power dissipation exceeds the rated package dissipation, reduce VDD, increase load impedance, decrease the ambient temperature, or add heatsinking to the device. Large output, supply, and ground traces decrease JA, allowing more heat to be transferred from the package to surrounding air. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 1V, Low-Power, DirectDrive, Stereo Headphone Amplifier with Shutdown 50 45 OUTPUT POWER (mW) 40 fIN = 1kHz RL = 16 THD+N = 1% 35 INPUTS 180 OUT-OF-PHASE 30 Input Filtering The AC-coupling capacitor (CIN) and an internal gainsetting resistor form a highpass filter that removes any DC bias from an input signal (see the Functional Diagram). CIN allows the MAX9725 to bias the signal to an optimum DC level.

Output Power vs. Supply Voltage with Inputs In-/Outof-Phase Output Power The MAX9725's output power increases when the left and right audio signals differ in magnitude and/or phase. Figure 4 shows the two extreme cases for inand out-of-phase input signals. The output power of a typical stereo application lies between the two extremes shown in Figure 4. The MAX9725 is specified to output 20mW per channel when both inputs are in-phase. Powering Other Circuits from the Negative Supply The MAX9725 internally generates a negative supply voltage (PVSS) to provide the ground-referenced output signal. Other devices can be powered from PVSS provided the current drawn from the charge pump does not exceed 1mA. Headphone driver output power and THD+N will be adversely affected if more than 1mA is drawn from PVSS. Using PVSS as an LCD bias is a typical application for the negative supply. PVSS is unregulated and proportional to VDD. Connect a 1F capacitor from C1P to C1N for best charge-pump operation. 1 2 x 25k x CIN Choose CIN so f-3dB is well below the lowest frequency of interest. Setting f-3dB too high affects the amplifier's lowfrequency response. Use capacitors with low-voltage coefficient dielectrics. Film or C0G dielectric capacitors are good choices for AC-coupling capacitors. Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients, such as ceramics, can result in increased distortion at low frequencies. Charge-Pump Capacitor Selection Use capacitors with less than 100m of ESR. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors minimize the output impedance of the charge pump. Capacitors with an X7R dielectric provide the best performance over the extended temperature range. Table 1 lists suggested capacitor manufacturers. Flying Capacitor (C1) The value of C1 affects the charge pump's load regulation and output impedance. Choosing C1 too small degrades the MAX9725's ability to provide sufficient current drive and leads to a loss of output voltage. Increasing the value of C1 improves load regulation and reduces the charge-pump output impedance. See the Output Power vs. Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load Impedance graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Hold Capacitor (C2) The hold capacitor's value and ESR directly affect the ripple at PVSS. Increasing the value of C2 reduces ripple. Choosing a capacitor with lower ESR reduces ripple and output impedance. Lower capacitance values can be used in systems with low maximum output power levels. See the Output Power vs. Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load Impedance graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX9725 Component Selection OUTPUT POWER vs. SUPPLY VOLTAGE WITH INPUTS IN- AND OUT-OF-PHASE MAX9725 1V, Low-Power, DirectDrive, Stereo Headphone Amplifier with Shutdown Table 1.

Bypass VDD to PGND with the same value as C1. Place C3 as close to VDD as possible. Layout and Grounding Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum performance. Connect PGND and SGND together at a single point on the PC board. Connect PVSS to SVSS and bypass with C2 to PGND. Bypass VDD to PGND with C3. Place capacitors C2 and C3 as close to the MAX9725 as possible. Route PGND, and all traces that carry switching transients, away from SGND and the audio signal path.
