Voice coil movement due to the square-wave frequency
is very small because the switching frequency of the
MAX9715 is well beyond the bandwidth of most speak-
ers. Although this movement is small, a speaker not
designed to handle the additional power may be
damaged. Use a speaker with a series inductance
> 30µH for optimum efficiency. Typical 8Ω speakers
exhibit series inductances in the 30µH to 100µH range.
The highest efficiency is achieved with speaker induc-
tances > 60µH.
The input capacitor (C
input resistance (R
removes the DC bias from an incoming signal (see the
Typical Application Circuit). The AC-coupling capacitor
allows the amplifier to bias the signal to an optimum DC
level. Assuming zero source impedance, the -3dB point
of the highpass filter is given by:

response. Use capacitors with low-voltage coefficient
dielectrics, such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic.
Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients, such as ceram-
ics, may result in increased distortion at low frequencies.
The inability of small diaphragm speakers to reproduce
low frequencies can be exploited to improve click-and-
pop performance. Set the cutoff frequency of the
MAX9715’s input highpass filter to match the speaker’s
frequency response. Doing so will allow for smaller C
values and reduce click-and-pop.
The MAX9715 speaker amplifiers do not require output
filters. However, output filtering can be used if a design
is failing radiated emissions due to board layout, cable
length, or the circuit is near EMI-sensitive devices. Use
a ferrite bead filter or a common-mode choke when radi-
ated frequencies above 10MHz are of concern. Use an
LC filter when radiated frequencies below 10MHz are of
concern, or when long cables (>75mm) connect the
amplifier to the speaker. Figure 4 shows possible output
filter connections.
