10W Stereo/15W Mono, Filterless,
Spread-Spectrum, Class D Amplifiers
The MAX9703/MAX9704 filterless, Class D audio power
amplifiers feature several improvements to switch-
mode amplifier technology. The MAX9703 is a mono
amplifier, the MAX9704 is a stereo amplifier. These
devices offer Class AB performance with Class D effi-
ciency, while occupying minimal board space. A
unique filterless modulation scheme and spread-spec-
trum switching mode create a compact, flexible, low-
noise, efficient audio power amplifier. The differential
input architecture reduces common-mode noise pick-
up, and can be used without input-coupling capacitors.
The devices can also be configured as a single-ended
input amplifier.
Comparators monitor the device inputs and compare
the complementary input voltages to the triangle wave-
form. The comparators trip when the input magnitude of
the triangle exceeds their corresponding input voltage.
The MAX9703/MAX9704 feature three FFM modes with
different switching frequencies (Table 1). In FFM mode,
the frequency spectrum of the Class D output consists of
the fundamental switching frequency and its associated
harmonics (see the Wideband Output Spectrum (FFM
Mode) graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
The MAX9703/ MAX9704 allow the switching frequency to
be changed by ±35%, should the frequency of one or
more of the harmonics fall in a sensitive band. This can be
done at any time and does not affect audio reproduction.
The MAX9703/MAX9704 feature a unique spread-spec-
trum mode that flattens the wideband spectral compo-
nents, improving EMI emissions that may be radiated

by the speaker and cables. This mode is enabled by
setting FS1 = FS2 = H. In SSM mode, the switching fre-
quency varies randomly by ±7% around the center fre-
quency (670kHz). The modulation scheme remains the
same, but the period of the triangle waveform changes
from cycle to cycle. Instead of a large amount of spec-
tral energy present at multiples of the switching fre-
quency, the energy is now spread over a bandwidth
that increases with frequency. Above a few megahertz,
the wideband spectrum looks like white noise for EMI
purposes (see Figure 1).
Efficiency of a Class D amplifier is attributed to the
region of operation of the output stage transistors. In a
Class D amplifier, the output transistors act as current-
steering switches and consume negligible additional
power. Any power loss associated with the Class D out-
put stage is mostly due to the I
on-resistance, and quiescent current overhead.
The theoretical best efficiency of a linear amplifier is
78%; however, that efficiency is only exhibited at peak
output powers. Under normal operating levels (typical
music reproduction levels), efficiency falls below 30%,
whereas the MAX9704 still exhibits >78% efficiency
under the same conditions (Figure 2).
