Connect all components associated with the charge
pump (C2 and C3) to CPGND. Connect V
together at C2. Place the charge-pump capacitors (C1,
C2, and C3) as close to the device as possible. Bypass

capacitor and a 100µF capacitor to PGND. Place the
bypass capacitors as close to the device as possible.
Use large, low-resistance output traces. Current drawn
from the outputs increases as load impedance
decreases. High-output-trace resistance decreases the
power delivered to the load. For example, when com-
pared to a 0Ω trace, a 100mΩ trace reduces the power
delivered to a 4Ω load from 2.1W to 2.0W. Large out-
put, supply, and GND traces allow more heat to move
from the MAX9752/MAX9753/MAX9754 to the air,
reducing the thermal impedance of the system.
The MAX9752/MAX9753/MAX9754 thin QFN packages
feature exposed pads on their undersides. Connect the
exposed pad to GND with a large copper pad and mul-
tiple vias to the ground plane.
Filterless Class D amplifiers use the loudspeaker’s coil
inductance to filter out switching energy. Additionally, the
loudspeaker does not respond to the switching frequen-
cy of Class D amplifiers, nor could human ears hear
these frequencies. However, audio analyzers and oscil-
loscopes can detect these signals. On an oscilloscope,

the switching components obscure the audio signal. On
an audio analyzer they overload the input signal, degrad-
ing the measurement from the true audio performance of
the amplifier. A simple RC filter can be used (Figure 13)
to aid in evaluation of Class D amplifiers in the lab. This
circuit provides a single-pole response at 34kHz, with a
minimal insertion loss. More complex designs such as L-
C filters can provide more performance, but must be veri-
fied to ensure they do not add their own distortion
signature to the amplifier’s output.
