Figure 7. Total Harmonic Distortion Plus Noise vs. Output Power
with Inputs In/Out of Phase (Headphone Mode)
For 8Ω applications, the worst-case power dissipation
occurs when the output power is 1.1W/channel, resulting
in a power dissipation of approximately 1W. In this case,
the TQFN package can be used without violating the
maximum power dissipation or exceeding the thermal
protection threshold. For 4Ω applications, the TQFN
package may require heatsinking or forced air cooling to
prevent the device from reaching its thermal limit. The
more thermally efficient TQFN package is suggested for
speaker loads less than 8Ω.
The increase in power delivered by the BTL configura-
tion directly results in an increase in internal power dis-
sipation over the single-ended configuration. The
maximum power dissipation for a given V
given by the following equation:
If the power dissipation for a given application exceeds
the maximum allowed for a given package, either reduce
V
temperature, or add heatsinking to the device. Large
output, supply, and ground PC board traces improve the
maximum power dissipation in the package.
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 7 shows
the two extreme cases for in and out of phase. In reality,
the available power lies between these extremes.
The MAX9779 has different supplies for each portion of
the device, allowing for the optimum combination of
headroom, power dissipation, and noise immunity. The
