Provide outstanding audio performance

Class H headphone amplifiers offer higher efficiency…Class H amplifiers provide nearly 2x higher

efficiency than the closest competitive Class G headphone amplifiers. Class H amps modulate the supply voltage to minimize voltage drop across the output devices by using either multiple supply voltages or an infinitely adjustable power supply.

and longer battery life by using second-generation, dual-mode, DirectDrive® II technology

Based on Maxim’s proprietary DirectDrive technology, our dual-mode DirectDrive II Class H amplifiers save power by switching between two supply voltages. The dual-mode charge pump uses ±0.9V rails when the output signal is small, only switching to ±1.8V supply voltage when more output power is needed. This technology renders a continuous signal without the glitches seen in Class G amplifiers.

Increase loudnessAutomatic level control increases the input signal by up

to 12dB without clipping to guarantee that the output signal always has the highest continuous power. The circuit also ensures that, when switching between various audio sources, the output signal level is continuously the same.

Protect speakersAll speakers can be destroyed if their power rating

is exceeded for too long. The power limiter tracks the approximate temperature of the loudspeaker voice coil by monitoring the output signal level over time. If the speaker is at risk of being destroyed, the power limiter reduces the output signal to protect the speaker.

Silence is golden!Active noise-cancellation solution for stereo headphones and headsets—simple to design-in, provides excellent audio performance

Simple product designTypical active noise-cancellation (ANC) solutions

require many discrete components in a large PCB area and offer poor noise-cancellation performance. Maxim provides a one-chip solution accompanied by a step-by-step procedure that guides the customer from mechanical prototype through final product manufacturing.

High performance over a wider frequency range

Obtaining a desired level of noise reduction at certain frequencies can be a tedious task due to microphone and headphone variances. Maxim’s ANC solution offers a flexible input preamplifier followed by a processing block, both at the control of the system designer. The outcome is better noise-cancellation performance over a wider frequency range.

in the system design. This noise is heard as a loud hiss by the consumer, especially in quieter environments. Maxim provides an ultra-low input-noise solution that completely eliminates ambient hiss from the output signal. Along with excellent headphone amplifier audio performance, the result is a much more pleasing user experience.

Industry’s lowest supply currentThe MAX98300* and MAX98302* represent a substantial

advancement in Class D amplifier power consumption by achieving supply current as low as 600µA. Critical to maximizing battery life in today’s portable products, this low supply current has been achieved without sacrificing EMI suppression, clipping behavior, noise performance, and click-and-pop level. In fact, these have all been improved!

Overdrive is no problem—our amplifiers clip cleanly

In small consumer devices, both speakers and amplifiers are driven hard to yield the highest sound-pressure level (SPL) possible. As a result, the amplifier may be heavily clipped. Many amplifier designs, particularly Class D designs, contribute additional high-frequency distortion artifacts that are far more objectionable than a cleanly clipped signal. The MAX98300/MAX98302 have been carefully designed to ensure clean recovery from clipping events.

Low VOS for low click-and-pop noiseClick-and-pop performance becomes important as we

aggressively power-manage amplifiers with frequent turn-on and turn-off cycles. If a pop or click is heard each time, it is annoying for the user. The MAX98300 has a very low offset voltage, and carefully addresses other sources of click-and-pop noise to ensure the best performance.

EMI so low, you may not believe it’s Class D!Patented EMI reduction techniques† and careful circuit design allow the MAX98300*/MAX98302* to have

the industry’s lowest EMI emissions. Implementation of these devices not only makes it easy to pass FCC and CE EMI limits, but also avoids interference with other sensitive circuits. Additionally, using them saves significant board space, as no filtering components of any kind are required with speaker cable or trace lengths 24in and beyond.

Class ABA combination of Class A and Class B, the Class AB

amplifier has higher efficiency than Class A, but less distortion than Class B. This performance is achieved by biasing both transistors to conduct near zero signal output—the point where Class B amplifiers introduce nonlinearities. They then transition to Class B for large excursions. Thus, for small signals, both transistors are active, acting like a Class A amplifier. For large signal excursions, only one transistor is active for each half of the waveform, acting like a Class B amplifier.

Class A–Class H amplifier tutorialClass A

The simplest type of amplifiers, Class A amplifiers, are those in which the output transistors conduct (i.e., do not fully turn off), irrespective of the output signal waveform. This type of amplifier is typically associated with high linearity, but low efficiency.

CLASS DMODULATOR

MOSFETDRIVER

Class BClass B amplifiers are those in which the output transistors only

conduct during half (180°) of the signal waveform. To amplify the entire signal, they use two transistors, one conducting for positive output signals and the other conducting for negative outputs. Class B amplifiers are much more efficient than Class A amplifiers, but they have high distortion due to the crossover point at which the two transistors transition from on to off.

Class DClass D amplifiers are those that output a switching

waveform at a frequency far higher than the highest audio signal that needs to be reproduced. The lowpass-filtered average value of this waveform corresponds to the actual required audio waveform. These amplifiers are highly efficient (often up to 90% or higher) because the output transistors are either fully turned on or off during operation. This approach completely eliminates the use of the linear region of the transistor, which is responsible for the inefficiency of other amplifier types. Modern Class D amplifiers achieve fidelity comparable to Class AB.

Class GClass G amplifiers are similar to Class AB amplifiers, except that

they use two or more supply voltages. When operating at low signal levels, the amplifier selects a low supply voltage. As the signal level increases, the amplifier automatically selects the appropriate supply voltage. Class G amplifiers are more efficient than Class AB amplifiers because they use the maximum supply voltage only when required, while a Class AB amplifier always uses the maximum supply voltage.

Class HClass H amplifiers modulate their supply voltage to minimize the

voltage drop across the output stage. Implementations range from using multiple discrete voltages to an infinitely adjustable supply. Though similar to the Class G technique of reducing dissipation across output devices, the Class H technique does not require multiple power supplies. Class H amplifiers are generally more complex than other designs, with extra control circuitry required to predict and control the supply voltage.

Theoretical output powerThe following figures show the theoretical output power possible from a range of supply voltages. Output

power is specified at 1% and 10% THD+N with 4Ω and 8Ω loads. Real amplifiers will always output less power than shown in these figures.
