2.3W, High-Power Class D Audio Subsystem with DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers
General Description
The MAX9796 combines a high-efficiency Class D, mono audio power amplifier with a mono DirectDriveTM receiver amplifier and a stereo DirectDrive headphone amplifier. Maxim's 3rd-generation, ultra-low EMI, Class D audio power amplifiers provide Class AB performance with Class D efficiency. The MAX9796 delivers 2.3W into a 4 load from a 5V supply and offers efficiencies up to 80%. Active emissions limiting circuitry and spread-spectrum modulation greatly reduce EMI, eliminating the need for output filtering found in traditional Class D devices. The MAX9796 features a fully differential architecture, a full-bridged output, and comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. The device utilizes a flexible, user-defined mixer architecture that includes an input mixer, volume control, and output mixer. All controls are done through an I2C interface. The mono receiver amplifier and stereo headphone amplifier use Maxim's patented DirectDrive architecture, that produces a ground-referenced output from a single supply, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost, space, and component height. The MAX9796 is available in a 36-bump UCSPTM (3mm x 3mm) package and is specified over the extended -40C to +85C temperature range.

2.3W, High-Power Class D Audio Subsystem with DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers MAX9796
Detailed Description
The MAX9796 ultra-low-EMI, filterless, Class D audio power amplifier features several improvements to switch-mode amplifier technology. The MAX9796 features active emissions limiting circuitry to reduce EMI. Zero dead-time technology maintains state-of-the-art efficiency and THD+N performance by allowing the output FETs to switch simultaneously without crossconduction. A unique filterless modulation scheme and a spread-spectrum modulation create a compact, flexible, low-noise, efficient audio power amplifier while occupying minimal board space. The differential input architecture reduces common-mode noise pickup with or without the use of input-coupling capacitors. The MAX9796 can also be configured as a single-ended input amplifier without performance degradation. The MAX9796 features three fully differential input pairs (INA_, INB_, INC_) that can be configured as stereo single-ended or mono differential inputs. I2C provides control for input configuration, volume level, and mixer configuration. DirectDrive allows the headphone and mono receiver amplifiers to output ground-referenced signals from a single supply, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors. Comprehensive clickand-pop suppression minimizes audible transients during the turn-on and turn-off of amplifiers.
Class D Speaker Amplifier
Comparators monitor the audio inputs and compare the complementary input voltages to a sawtooth waveform. The comparators trip when the input magnitude of the sawtooth exceeds their corresponding input voltage. The active emissions limiting circuitry slightly reduces the turn-on rate of the output H-bridge by slew-rate limiting the comparator output pulse. Both comparators reset at a fixed time after the rising edge of the second comparator trip point, generating a minimum-width pulse (tON(MIN), 100ns typ) at the output of the second comparator (Figure 1). As the input voltage increases or decreases, the duration of the pulse at one output increases while the other output pulse duration remains the same. This causes the net voltage across the speaker (VOUT+ - VOUT-) to change. The minimumwidth pulse helps the device to achieve high levels of linearity.

Operating Modes
Fixed-Frequency Modulation The MAX9796 features a fixed-frequency modulation mode with a 1.1MHz switching frequency, set through the I2C interface (Table 2). In fixed-frequency modulation mode, the frequency spectrum of the Class D output consists of the fundamental switching frequency and its associated harmonics (see the Wideband Output Spectrum Fixed-Frequency Mode graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics). Spread-Spectrum Modulation The MAX9796 features a unique, patented spreadspectrum modulation that flattens the wideband spectral components. Proprietary techniques ensure that the
cycle-to-cycle variation of the switching period does not degrade audio reproduction or efficiency (see the Typical Operating Characteristics). Select the spreadspectrum modulation mode through the I2C interface (Table 2). In spread-spectrum modulation mode, the switching frequency varies randomly by 30kHz around the center frequency (1.16MHz). The modulation scheme remains the same, but the period of the sawtooth waveform changes from cycle to cycle (Figure 2). Instead of a large amount of spectral energy present at multiples of the switching frequency, the energy is now spread over a bandwidth that increases with frequency. Above a few megahertz, the wideband spectrum looks like white noise for EMI purposes (see Figure 3).

Because the MAX9796 drives the speaker differentially, the two outputs cancel each other, resulting in no net idle mode voltage across the speaker, minimizing power consumption.

Filterless Modulation/Common-Mode Idle
The MAX9796 uses Maxim's unique, patented modulation scheme that eliminates the LC filter required by traditional Class D amplifiers, improving efficiency, reducing component count, conserving board space and system cost. Conventional Class D amplifiers output a 50% dutycycle square wave when no signal is present. With no filter, the square wave appears across the load as a DC voltage, resulting in finite load current, increasing power
16
Traditional single-supply headphone amplifiers have outputs biased at a nominal DC voltage (typically half the supply) for maximum dynamic range. Large coupling capacitors are needed to block this DC bias from the headphone. 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 amplifier. Maxim's patented DirectDrive architecture uses a charge pump to create an internal negative supply voltage. This allows the headphone outputs of the MAX9796 to be biased at GND, almost doubling dynamic range while operating from a single supply. With no DC component, there is no need for the large DC-blocking capacitors. Instead of two large (220F, typ) tantalum capacitors, the MAX9796 charge pump requires two small ceramic capacitors, conserving board space, reducing cost, and improving the frequency response of the headphone amplifier. See the Output Power vs. Load Resistance and Charge-Pump Capacitor Size graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics for details of the possible capacitor sizes. There is a low DC voltage on the driver outputs

due to amplifier offset. However, the offset of the MAX9796 is typically 1.4mV, which, when combined with a 32 load, results in less than 44nA of DC current flow to the headphones. In addition to the cost and size disadvantages of the DC-blocking capacitors required by conventional headphone amplifiers, these capacitors limit the amplifier's low-frequency response and can distort the audio signal. Previous attempts at eliminating the output-coupling capacitors involved biasing the headphone return (sleeve) to the DC bias voltage of the headphone amplifiers. This method raises some issues: 1) The sleeve is typically grounded to the chassis. Using the midrail biasing approach, the sleeve must be isolated from system ground, complicating product design. 2) During an ESD strike, the driver's ESD structures are the only path to system ground. Thus, the amplifier must be able to withstand the full ESD strike. 3) When using the headphone jack as a lineout to other equipment, the bias voltage on the sleeve may conflict with the ground potential from other equipment, resulting in possible damage to the amplifiers.

Charge Pump The MAX9796 features a low-noise charge pump. The switching frequency of the charge pump is half the switching frequency of the Class D amplifier, regardless of the operating mode. The nominal switching frequency is well beyond the audio range, and thus does not interfere with the audio signals, resulting in an SNR of 93dB. Although not typically required, additional high-frequency noise attenuation can be achieved by increasing the size of C2 (see the Typical Application Circuit). The charge pump is active in both speaker and headphone modes.

Signal Path
The audio inputs of the MAX9796 (INA, INB, and INC) are preamplified and then mixed by the input mixer to create three internal signals: left (L), right (R), and mono (M). Tables 5a and 5b show how the inputs are mixed to create L, R, and M. These signals are then independently volume adjusted by the L, R, and M volume control and routed to the output mixer. The output mixer mixes the internal L, R, and M signals to create a variety of audio mixes that are output to the headphone, speaker,
and the mono receiver amplifiers. Figure 6 shows the signal path that the audio signals take. Signal amplification takes place in three stages. In the first stage, the inputs (INA, INB, and INC) are preamplified. The amount by which each input is amplified is determined by the bits INA+20dB (B4 in the Input Mode Control Register) and IN+6dB (B3 in the Global Control Register). After preamplification, they are mixed in the input mixer to create the internal signals L, R and M. In the second stage of amplification, the internal L, R, and M signals are independently volume adjusted. Finally, each output amplifier has its own internal gain. The speaker, headphone, and mono receiver amplifiers have fixed gains of 12dB, 3dB and 3dB, respectively.

Current-Limit and Thermal Protection
The MAX9796 features current limiting and thermal protection to protect the device from short circuits and overcurrent conditions. The headphone amplifier pulses in the event of an overcurrent condition with a pulse every 100s as long as the condition is present. Should the current still be high, the above cycle is repeated. The speaker amplifier current-limit protection clamps the output current without shutting down the output. This can result in a distorted output. Current is limited to 1.6A in the speaker amplifiers and 170mA in the headphone and mono receiver amplifiers. The MAX9796 has thermal protection that disables the device at +150C until the temperate decreases to +120C.
headphone amplifier does not require output-coupling capacitors, this problem does not arise. In most applications, the output of the preamplifier driving the MAX9796 has a DC bias of typically half the supply. During startup, the input-coupling capacitor is charged to the preamplifier's DC bias voltage, resulting in a DC shift across the capacitor and an audible clickand-pop. An internal delay of 30ms eliminates the clickand-pop caused by the input filter.
Shutdown
The MAX9796 features a 0.1A hard shutdown mode that reduces power consumption to extend battery life and a soft shutdown where current consumption is typically 8.5A. Hard shutdown is controlled by connecting SHDN to GND, disabling the amplifiers, bias circuitry, charge pump, and I2C. In shutdown, the headphone amplifier output impedance is 1.4k and the speaker output impedance is 300k. Similarly, the MAX9796 enters soft shutdown when the SHDN bit = 0 (see Table 2). The I2C interface is active and the contents of the command register are not affected when in soft shutdown. This allows the master to write to the MAX9796 while in shutdown. The I2C interface is completely disabled in hardware shutdown. When the MAX9796 is reenabled the default settings are applied (see Table 3).
Click-and-Pop Suppression
In conventional single-supply headphone amplifiers, the output-coupling capacitor is a major contributor of audible clicks and pops. Upon startup, the amplifier charges the coupling capacitor to its bias voltage, typically half the supply. Likewise, during shutdown, the capacitor is discharged to GND. This results in a DC shift across the capacitor, which in turn, appears as an audible transient at the speaker. Since the MAX9796

Figure 7. 2-Wire Serial-Interface Timing Diagram
I2C Interface
The MAX9796 features an I2C 2-wire serial interface consisting of a serial-data line (SDA) and a serial-clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate communication between the MAX9796 and the master at clock rates up to 400kHz. Figure 7 shows the 2-wire interface timing diagram. The MAX9796 is a receive-only slave device relying on the master to generate the SCL signal. The master, typically a microcontroller, generates SCL and initiates data transfer on the bus. The MAX9796 cannot write to the SDA bus except to acknowledge the receipt of data from the master. The MAX9796 does not acknowledge a read command from the master. A master device communicates to the MAX9796 by transmitting the proper address followed by the data word. Each transmit sequence is framed by a START (S) or REPEATED START (Sr) condition and a STOP (P) condition. Each word transmitted over the bus is 8 bits long and is always followed by an acknowledge clock pulse. The MAX9796 SDA line operates as both an input and an open-drain output. A pullup resistor, greater than 500, is required on the SDA bus. The MAX9796 SCL line operates as an input only. A pullup resistor, greater than 500, is required on SCL if there are multiple masters on the bus, or if the master in a single-master system has an open-drain SCL output. Series resistors in line with SDA and SCL are optional. Series resistors protect the digital inputs of the MAX9796 from highvoltage spikes on the bus lines, and minimize crosstalk and undershoot of the bus signals.

Figure 8. START, STOP, and REPEATED START Conditions
Bit Transfer One data bit is transferred during each SCL cycle. The data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of the SCL pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high are control signals (see the START and STOP Conditions section). SDA and SCL idle high when the I2C bus is not busy. START and STOP Conditions A master device initiates communication by issuing a START condition. A START condition is a high-to-low transition on SDA with SCL high. A STOP condition is a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high (Figure 8). A START condition from the master signals the beginning of a transmission to the MAX9796. The master terminates transmission and frees the bus by issuing a STOP condition. The bus remains active if a REPEATED START condition is generated instead of a STOP condition.

2.3W, High-Power Class D Audio Subsystem with DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers MAX9796
Early STOP Conditions The MAX9796 recognizes a STOP condition at any point during data transmission except if the STOP condition occurs in the same high pulse as a START condition. Slave Address The MAX9796 is available with one preset slave address (see Table 1). The address is defined as the seven most significant bits (MSBs) followed by the read/write (R/W) bit. The address is the first byte of information sent to the MAX9796 after the START condition. The MAX9796 is a slave device only capable of being written to. The R/W bit should be a zero when configuring the MAX9796. Acknowledge The acknowledge bit (ACK) is a clocked 9th bit that the MAX9796 uses to handshake receipt of each byte of data (see Figure 9). The MAX9796 pulls down SDA during the master-generated 9th clock pulse. Monitoring ACK allows for detection of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer occurs if a receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred. In the
event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master may reattempt communications.
Write Data Format A write to the MAX9796 includes transmission of a START condition, the slave address with the R/W bit set to 0 (Table 1), one byte of data to configure the Command Register, and a STOP condition. Figure 10 illustrates the proper format for one frame. The MAX9796 only accepts write data, but it acknowledges the receipt of the address byte with the R/W bit set high. The MAX9796 does not write to the SDA bus in the event that the R/W bit is set high. Subsequently, the master reads all 1's from the MAX9796. Always set the R/W bit to zero to avoid this situation.
Programming the MAX9796
The MAX9796 is programmed through six control registers. Each register is addressed by the three MSBs (B5-B7) followed by five configure bits (B0-B4) as shown in Table 2. Correct programming of the MAX9796 requires writing to all six control registers. Upon poweron, their default settings are as listed in Table 3.

Input Mode Control The MAX9796 has three flexible inputs that can be configured as single-ended stereo inputs or differential mono inputs. All input signals are summed into three unique signals, Left (L), Right (R), and Mono (M), which are routed to the output amplifiers. The bit B4 allows the option of boosting low-level signals on INA. B4 can be set as follows:
1 = Input A's gain +20dB for low-level signals such as FM receivers. 0 = Input A's gain is either 0dB or +6dB as set by IN+6dB (bit B3 of the Control Register). Tables 5a and 5b show how the inputs-INA, INB, and INC-are mixed to create the internal signals left (L), right (R), and mono (M).

Applications Information
Class D Filterless Operation
Traditional Class D amplifiers require an output filter to recover the audio signal from the amplifier's PWM output. The filters add cost, increase the solution size of the amplifier, and can decrease efficiency. The traditional PWM scheme uses large differential output swings (2 x VDD(P-P)) and causes large ripple currents. Any parasitic resistance in the filter components results in a loss of power, lowering the efficiency. The MAX9796 does not require an output filter. The device relies on the inherent inductance of the speaker coil and the natural filtering of both the speaker and the human ear to recover the audio component of the square-wave output. Eliminating the output filter results in a smaller, less costly, more efficient solution. Because the switching frequency of the MAX9796 speaker output is well beyond the bandwidth of most
speakers, voice coil movement due to the square-wave frequency is very small. Although this movement is small, a speaker not designed to handle the additional power may be damaged. For optimum results, use a speaker with a series inductance >10H. Typical 8 speakers, for portable audio applications, exhibit series inductances in the range of 20H to 100H.
Input Amplifier
Differential Input The MAX9796 features a programmable differential input structure, making it compatible with many CODECs, and offering improved noise immunity over a single-ended input amplifier. In devices such as cellular phones, high-frequency signals from the RF transmitter can be picked up by the amplifier's input traces. The signals appear at the amplifier's inputs as common-mode noise. A differential input amplifier amplifies the difference of the two inputs and any signal common to both is cancelled.

Single-Ended Input The MAX9796 can be configured as a single-ended input amplifier by appropriately configuring the Input Control Register (see Tables 5a and 5b). DC-Coupled Input The input amplifier can accept DC-coupled inputs that are biased to the amplifier's bias voltage. DC-coupling eliminates the input-coupling capacitors; reducing component count to potentially six external components (see the Typical Application Circuit). However, the highpass filtering effect of the capacitors is lost, allowing low-frequency signals to feed through to the load. Unused Inputs Connect any unused input directly to VBIAS. This saves input capacitors on unused inputs and provides the highest noise immunity on the input.
on the frequency range of the spoken human voice (typically 300Hz to 3.5kHz). In addition, speakers used in portable devices typically have a poor response below 300Hz. Taking these two factors into consideration, the input filter may not need to be designed for a 20Hz to 20kHz response, saving both board space and cost due to the use of smaller capacitors.
MAX9796
Component Selection
Input Filter An input capacitor (CIN) in conjunction with the input impedance of the MAX9796 forms a highpass filter that removes the DC bias from the incoming signal. The ACcoupling capacitor allows the amplifier to automatically bias the signal to an optimum DC level. Assuming zero source impedance, the -3dB point of the highpass filter is given by:
f-3dB = 1 2RINCIN
Class D Output Filter The MAX9796 does not require a Class D output filter. The device passes EN55022B emissions standards with 152mm of unshielded speaker cables. However, output filtering can be used if a design is failing radiated emissions due to board layout or cable length, or the circuit is near EMI-sensitive devices. Use a ferrite bead filter when radiated frequencies above 10MHz are of concern. Use an LC filter when radiated frequencies below 10MHz are of concern, or when long leads (>152mm) connect the amplifier to the speaker. Figure 11 shows optional speaker amplifier output filters.
External Component Selection
BIAS Capacitor VBIAS is the output of the internally generated DC bias voltage. The VBIAS bypass capacitor, CVBIAS improves PSRR and THD+N by reducing power supply and other noise sources at the common-mode bias node, and also generates the clickless/popless, startup/shutdown DC bias waveforms for the speaker amplifiers. Bypass VBIAS with a 1F capacitor to GND.

Choose CIN so that f-3dB is well below the lowest frequency of interest. Use capacitors whose dielectrics have low-voltage coefficients, such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic. Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients, such as ceramics, may result in increased distortion at low frequencies. Other considerations when designing the input filter include the constraints of the overall system and the actual frequency band of interest. Although high-fidelity audio calls for a flat-gain response between 20Hz and 20kHz, portable voice-reproduction devices, such as cell phones and two-way radios, need only concentrate

Charge-Pump Capacitor Selection Use capacitors with an ESR less than 100m for optimum performance. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors minimize the output resistance of the charge pump. Most surface-mount ceramic capacitors satisfy the ESR requirement. For best performance over the extended temperature range, select capacitors with an X7R dielectric or better. Table 12 lists suggested manufacturers. Flying Capacitor (C1) The value of the flying capacitor (C1) affects the output resistance of the charge pump. A C1 value that is too small degrades the device's ability to provide sufficient current drive, which leads to a loss of output voltage. Increasing the value of C1 reduces the charge-pump output resistance to an extent. Above 1F, the on-resistance of the switches and the ESR of C1 and C2 dominate. Output Capacitor (C2) The output capacitor value and ESR directly affect the ripple at CPVSS. Increasing the value of C2 reduces output ripple. Likewise, decreasing the ESR of C2 reduces both ripple and output resistance. Lower capacitance values can be used in systems with low maximum output power levels. See the Output Power vs. Load Resistance and Charge-Pump Capacitor Size graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. CPVDD Bypass Capacitor (C3) The CPVDD bypass capacitor (C3) lowers the output impedance of the power supply and reduces the impact of the MAX9796's charge-pump switching transients. Bypass CPVDD with C3 to PGND and place it physically close to the CPVDD and PGND. Use a value for C3 that is equal to C1.
parasitic trace resistance. Large traces also aid in moving heat away from the package. Proper grounding improves audio performance, minimizes crosstalk between channels, and prevents any switching noise from coupling into the audio signal. Connect PGND and GND together at a single point on the PCB. Route all traces that carry switching transients away from GND and the traces/components in the audio signal path. Connect all of the power-supply inputs (CPVDD, VDD, and PVDD) together. Bypass CPVDD with a 1F capacitor to CPGND. Bypass VDD with a 1F capacitor to GND. Bypass PVDD with a 1F capacitor in parallel with a 0.1F capacitor to PGND. Place the bypass capacitors as close as possible to the MAX9796. Place a bulk capacitor between PVDD and PGND, if needed. Use large, low-resistance output traces. Current drawn from the outputs increase as load impedance decreases. High output trace resistance decreases the power delivered to the load. Large output, supply, and GND traces allow more heat to move from the MAX9796 to the PCB, decreasing the thermal impedance of the circuit.
UCSP Applications Information
For the latest application details on UCSP construction, dimensions, tape carrier information, PCB techniques, bump-pad layout, and recommended reflow temperature profile, as well as the latest information of reliability testing results, refer to Application Note: UCSP--A Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package available on Maxim's website at www.maxim-ic.com/ucsp.
UCSP Thermal Consideration
When operating at maximum output power, the UCSP thermal dissipation can become a limiting factor. The UCSP package does not dissipate heat as efficiently as packages with a thermal pad. As a result, in some applications, the thermal performance of the package may limit performance.
Supply Bypassing, Layout, and Grounding
Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum performance. Use large traces for the power-supply inputs and amplifier outputs to minimize losses due to
