Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipa-
tion in these devices. When the junction temperature
exceeds +160°C, the thermal-protection circuitry dis-
ables the amplifier output stage. The amplifiers are
enabled once the junction temperature cools by 15°C.
This results in a pulsing output under continuous ther-
mal-overload conditions as the device heats and cools.
The headphone amplifiers have been specified for the
worst-case scenario—when both inputs are in phase.
Under this condition, the drivers simultaneously draw
current from the charge pump, leading to a slight loss in
headroom of V
the left and right signals have differences in both magni-
tude and phase, subsequently leading to an increase in
the maximum attainable output power. Figure 10 shows
the two extreme cases for in and out of phase. In reality,
the available power lies between these extremes.
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 have different sup-
plies for each portion of the device, allowing for the opti-
mum combination of headroom and power dissipation
and noise immunity. The speaker amplifiers are pow-

quency response. Use capacitors with low-voltage
coefficient dielectrics, such as tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic. Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients,
such as ceramics, may result in increased distortion at
low frequencies.
BIAS is the output of the internally generated DC bias
voltage. The BIAS bypass capacitor, C
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
BIAS with a 1µF capacitor to GND.
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 4
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.

2.2µF, the on-resistance of the switches and the ESR of
