improving EMI emissions by 5dB. Proprietary techniques
ensure that the cycle-to-cycle variation of the switching
period does not degrade audio reproduction or efficiency
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics). Select SSM
mode by setting SYNC = V
ing frequency varies randomly by ±120kHz around the
center frequency (1.22MHz). The modulation scheme
remains the same, but the period of the sawtooth wave-
form changes from cycle to cycle (Figure 2). Instead of a
large amount of spectral energy present at multiples of

the switching frequency, 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 the EMI Spectrum Diagram).
The SYNC input allows the MAX9705 to be synchronized
to a system clock moving the spectral components of the
switching harmonics to insensitive frequency bands.
Applying an external TTL clock of 800kHz to 2MHz to
SYNC synchronizes the switching frequency of the
MAX9705. The period of the SYNC clock can be ran-
domized, enabling the MAX9705 to be synchronized to
another MAX9705 operating in SSM mode.
The MAX9705 uses Maxim’s unique, patented modula-
tion scheme that eliminates the LC filter required by
traditional Class D amplifiers, improving efficiency,
reducing component count, and conserving board
