The MAX9742 is a two-channel, single-ended Class D
stereo amplifier capable of providing 16W of output
power on each channel into 4Ω loads in single- or dual-
supply operation. The amplifier can also provide 32W
of output power in a mono bridge-tied-load (BTL) con-
figuration. The device offers Class AB audio perfor-
mance with Class D efficiency.
The differential input architecture reduces common-
mode noise pickup. The device can also be configured
for single-ended input signals.
The connection of external feedback components
allows custom gain settings.
Class D amplifiers are switch-mode devices capable of
significantly higher power efficiencies in comparison to
linear amplifiers. The output stage of the MAX9742 con-
sists of a half-bridge speaker driver (see Figure 2). The
high 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 by switching the output between V
and V
power loss associated with the Class D output stage is
mostly due to the I
and quiescent current overhead. The theoretical best
