9-5286; Rev 0; 6/10 TION KIT EVALUA BLE AVAILA Stereo, High-Power, Class D Amplifiers The MAX98400A/MAX98400B Class D amplifiers provide high-performance, thermally efficient amplifier solutions. The MAX98400A delivers 2x20W into 8I loads or 1x40W into a 4I load. The MAX98400B delivers 2x12W into 8I loads. An integrated limiting circuit prevents output clipping distortion, protects small speakers from transient voltages, and reduces power dissipation.

The MAX98400A/MAX98400B are available in 36-pin and 24-pin TQFN packages, respectively, and are specified over the -40NC to +85NC temperature range. Efficiency The high efficiency of a Class D amplifier is due to the switching operation of the output stage transistors. In a Class D amplifier, the output transistors act as switches and consume negligible power.
Stereo, High-Power, Class D Amplifiers In Mode1, the limiter is disabled. The output clips when output peak voltage reaches the voltage on PVDD, VPVDD. In Mode2, the limiter threshold (VTHRESH) tracks supply voltage, VPVDD. The peak output voltage is limited to approximately VTHRESH = VPVDD x 0.95. In Mode3, the limiter threshold, VTHRESH, is programmable. VLIM_TH can be set to a voltage proportional to the desired output threshold. The limiter threshold can be set down to 0.5 x VPVDD and up to 1.
MAX98400A/MAX98400B Stereo, High-Power, Class D Amplifiers Preamplifier Gain Setting sequence. The shutdown and recovering sequence is repeated until the output fault is removed. The ICs offer eight pin-selectable gain settings, selectable through the G1 and G2 pins. Applications Information Protection Filterless Class D Operation The ICs feature overcurrent protection and two types of thermal protection: thermal foldback and overtemperature protection.
Stereo, High-Power, Class D Amplifiers The load impedance of the speaker determines the filter component selection (Table 3). Inductors L1 and L2 and capacitor C1 form the primary output filter. Capacitors C2 and C3 provide commonmode filtering to reduce radiated emissions. Capacitors C4 and C5, plus resistors R1 and R2, form a Zobel at the output. A Zobel corrects the output loading to compensate for the rising impedance of the loudspeaker.
