The MAX9634 high-side current-sense amplifier offers precision accuracy specifications of VOS less than 250µV (max) and gain error less than 0.5% (max). Quiescent supply current is an ultra-low 1µA. The MAX9634 fits in a tiny, 1mm x 1mm UCSP™ package size or a 5-pin SOT23 package, making the part ideal for applications in notebook computers, cell phones, PDAs, and all battery-operated portable devices where accuracy, low quiescent current, and small size are critical.The MAX9634 features an input common-mode voltage range from 1.6V to 28V. These current-sense amplifiers have a voltage output and are offered in four gain versions: 25V/V (MAX9634T), 50V/V (MAX9634F), 100V/V (MAX9634H), and 200V/V (MAX9634W).The four gain selections offer flexibility in the choice of the external current-sense resistor. The very low 250µV (max) input offset voltage allows small 25mV to 50mV full-scale VSENSE voltage for very low voltage drop at full-current measurement.The MAX9634 is offered in tiny 4-bump UCSP (1mm x 1mm x 0.6mm footprint) and 5-pin SOT23 packages.ApplicationsCell PhonesNotebook ComputersPDAsPortable/Battery-Powered SystemsPower-Management Systems

The MAX97200 is a 45mW Class H headphone amplifier that runs from a single low 1.8V supply voltage and employs Maxim's second-generation DirectDrive® technology.The MAX97200 features a Dual Mode™ internal charge pump to generate the power rails for the amplifier. The charge-pump output can be ±PVIN/2 or ±PVIN depending on the amplitude of the output signal. When the output voltage is low, the power-supply voltage is ±PVIN/2. When the output signal demands larger output voltage, the charge pump switches modes so that a greater power-supply voltage is realized and more output power can be delivered to the load.Second-generation DirectDrive technology improves power consumption when compared to first-generation DirectDrive amplifiers. The MAX97200 can be poweredfrom a regulated 1.8V and have similar power consumption to a traditional DirectDrive amplifier that is powered from 0.9V.Maxim's DirectDrive architecture uses an inverting charge pump to derive a negative voltage supply. The headphone amplifier is powered betweenthe positive supply and the generated negative rail. This scheme allows the audio output signal to be biased about ground, eliminating the need for largeDC-blocking capacitors between the amplifier output and the headphone load.Low-output offset voltage provides very good click-and-pop performance both into and out of shutdown. High signal-to-noise ratio maintains system fidelity.The MAX97200 is available in a tiny, 12-bump wafer level packaging (WLP 1.27mm x 1.65mm) with a small, 0.4mm lead pitch and specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.ApplicationsCellular PhonesMP3 PlayersSmartphonesVoIP Phones

The MAX9820 Windows Vista®-compliant stereo headphone amplifier is designed for portable equipment where board space is at a premium. It features Maxim's DirectDrive® architecture to produce a ground-referenced output from a single supply, eliminating the large output-coupling capacitors required by conventional single-supply headphone amplifiers.The MAX9820 features an undervoltage lockout that prevents over discharging of the battery during brownout conditions, click-and-pop suppression that eliminates audible transients on startup, a low-power shutdown mode, and thermal-overload and short-circuit protection. Additionally, the MAX9820 suppresses RF radiation received by input and supply traces acting as antennas and prevents the amplifier from demodulating the coupled noise.The MAX9820 is available in a 10-pin TDFN package (3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm) and specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.ApplicationsCell PhonesMP3 PlayersNotebook PCsPDAs

The MAX98400B delivers 2x12W into 8Ω loads.An integrated limiting circuit prevents output clipping distortion, protects small speakers from transient voltages, and reduces power dissipation.A thermal-foldback feature can be enabled to automatically reduce the output power at above a junction temperature of +120°C. Traditional thermal protection is also available in addition to robust overcurrent protection.The ICs operate from a single 8V to 28V supply and provide a high 67dB PSRR, eliminating the need for a regulated power supply. They offer up to 90% efficiency from a 12V supply.Filterless modulation allows the ICs to pass EN55022B EMI limits with 1m cables using only a low-cost ferrite bead and small-value capacitor on each output.Both devices feature eight-digitally-controlled gain settings.Comprehensive click-and-pop reduction circuitry minimizes noise coming into and out of shutdown.The MAX98400A/MAX98400B are available in 36-pin and 24-pin TQFN packages, respectively, and are specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.ApplicationsLCD MonitorsLCD/PDP TelevisionsMP3 Docking StationsNotebook PCs
