Choose R
tion. Choose the C
lowest frequency of interest. Setting f
affects the low-frequency response of the amplifier. Use
capacitors whose dielectrics have low-voltage coeffi-
cients, such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic.
Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients, such as
ceramics, may result in increased distortion at low fre-
quencies.
Use capacitors with an ESR less than 100mΩ for opti-
mum performance. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors mini-
mize the output resistance of the charge pump. For
best performance over the extended temperature
range, select capacitors with an X7R dielectric. Table 1
lists suggested manufacturers.
The value of the flying capacitor (C1) affects the load
regulation and 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 improves
load regulation and reduces the charge-pump output
resistance to an extent. See the Output Power vs.
Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load Resistance
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Above
2.2µF, the on-resistance of the switches and the ESR of
C1 and C2 dominate.
The output capacitor value and ESR directly affect the
ripple at PV
put ripple. Likewise, decreasing the ESR of C2 reduces
both ripple and output resistance. Lower capacitance
values can be used in systems with low maximum out-
put power levels. See the Output Power vs. Charge-
Pump Capacitance and Load Resistance graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
The power-supply bypass capacitor (C3) lowers the out-
put impedance of the power supply, and reduces the
impact of the MAX4409’s charge-pump switching tran-
sients. Bypass PV

Figure 6 shows a theoretical connection between two
devices, for example, a notebook computer (transmit-
ter, on the left) and an amplifier (receiver, on the right).
The application includes the headphone socket used
as a line output to a home hi-fi system, for example. In
the upper diagram, any difference between the two
GND references (represented by V
rent to flow through the screen of cable between the
two devices. This can cause noise pickup at the receiv-
er due to the potential divider action of the audio
screen cable impedance and the GND wiring of the
amplifier.
Introducing impedance between the jack socket and
GND of the notebook helps (as shown in the lower dia-
gram). This has the following effect:
• Current flow (from GND potential differences) in the
• It allows the MAX4409 differential sensing to reduce
The other side effect is the differential HP jack sensing
corrects the headphone crosstalk (from introducing the
resistance on the jack GND return). Only one channel
is depicted in Figure 6.
Figure 6 has some example numbers for resistance,
but the audio designer has control over only one series
resistance applied to the headphone jack return. Note
that this resistance can be bypassed for ESD purposes
at frequencies much higher than audio if required. The
upper limit for this added resistance is the amount of
output swing the headphone amplifier tolerates when
driving low-impedance loads. Any headphone return
current appears as a voltage across this resistor.
Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum
performance. Connect PGND and SGND together at a
single point on the PC board. Connect all components
associated with the charge pump (C2 and C3) to the
PGND plane. Connect PV
