MAX98500

The MAX98500 also features three gain settings (6dB, 15.5dB, and 20dB)that are selectable with a logic input. It is specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range. The MAX98500 is available in a small, 0.5mm pitch 16-bump WLP package (2.1mm x 2.1mm). The MAX98500 is a high-efficiency, Class D audio amplifier that features an integrated boost converter to deliver a constant output power over a wide range of battery supply voltages. The boost converter operates at 2MHz, requiring only a small (2.2FH)external inductor and capacitor. The amplifier has differential inputs and an internal fully differential design. The automatic level control has a battery tracking function that reduces the output swing as the supply voltage drops, preventing collapse of battery voltage.

The features of MAX98500 can be summarized as (1)boosted class D output; (2)integrated automatic level control; (3)output power 2.2w into 8i, 10% thd+n / 1.7w into 8i, 1% thd+n; (4)wide 2.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range; (5)undervoltage lockout protection; (6)high total efficiency of 87%; (7)high step-up switching frequency (2MHz); (8)active emission limiting for low EMI.
