General Description

The MAX9746 mono Class D audio power amplifier provides Class AB amplifier performance with Class D efficiency, conserving board space and extending battery life. The MAX9746 is designed specifically for systems using 1.8V logic interface. Using a Class D architecture, the MAX9746 delivers 1.2W into an 8Ω load while offering efficiencies near 90. A low-EMI modulation scheme renders the traditional Class D output filter unnecessary.
