MAX98360DEFB+T

Audio Amplifiers Overview

The MAX98360DEFB+T is a digital pulse-code modulation (PCM) input Class-D amplifier from Analog Devices. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V and delivers up to 3.2W of output power into a 4Ω load at 5V. The device features a quiescent current of 2.2mA and supports sample rates from 8kHz to 96kHz with data word lengths of 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit. It includes extensive click-and-pop reduction circuitry and robust short-circuit and thermal protection.

Audio Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Plug-and-play digital audio interface that automatically recognizes PCM and TDM clocking schemes without requiring I2C programming.
• Filterless spread-spectrum modulation scheme eliminates the need for external output filtering found in traditional Class-D devices.
• Active emissions-limiting, edge-rate limiting, and overshoot control circuitry significantly reduce electromagnetic interference.
• Eliminates the need for an external master clock signal, reducing board coupling issues and component count.

Audio Amplifiers Applications

• Smart Speakers
• Notebook Computers
• IoT Devices
• Gaming Devices (Audio and Haptics)
• Smartphones

Audio Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FB' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the part number matches the exact revision required for your design. Cross-reference the RoHS status and environmental compliance details provided in the datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Audio Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, space-saving solution is required for digital audio applications. The MAX98360DEFB+T is suitable for designs needing high efficiency and Class-AB audio quality without complex configuration. Consider the WLP or FCQFN package options based on available PCB real estate and thermal requirements.
