The MAX9788 features a mono Class G power amplifier
with an integrated inverting charge-pump power supply
specifically designed to drive the high capacitance of a
ceramic loudspeaker. The charge pump can supply
greater than 700mA of peak output current at 5.5VDC,
guaranteeing an output of 14VP-P.
The MAX9788 maximizes battery life by offering high-
performance efficiency. Maxim’s proprietary Class G
output stage provides efficiency levels greater than
Class AB devices without the EMI penalties commonly
associated with Class D amplifiers.
The MAX9788 is ideally suited to deliver the high out-
put-voltage swing required to drive ceramic/piezoelec-
tric speakers.
The device utilizes fully differential inputs and outputs,
comprehensive click-and-pop suppression, shutdown
control, and soft-start circuitry. The MAX9788 is fully spec-
ified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range
and is available in small lead-free 28-pin TQFN (4mm x
4mm) or 20-bump WLP (2mm x 2.5mm) packages.
