Package
MAX9737
The MAX9737 mono 7W Class D amplifier provides a
high-performance, thermally efficient amplifier solution
that offers up to 88% efficiency at a 12V supply. The
device operates from 8V to 28V and provides a high 80dB
PSRR, eliminating the need for a regulated power supply.
Filterless modulation allows the MAX9737 to pass CE
EMI limits with 1m cables using only a low-cost ferrite
bead and small-value capacitor on each output.
Comprehensive click-and-pop suppression circuitry
reduces noise on power-up/down or into and out of
shutdown or mute.
An input op amp allows the user to create a lowpass or
highpass filter, and select an optimal gain. The internal
precharge circuit ensures clickless/popless turn-on
within 10ms.
The MAX9737 is available in the 24-pin, TQFN-EP pack-
age and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C tempera-
ture range.
Applications
2.1 Notebook PCs
LCD/PDP/CRT Monitors

Note 1:
Thermal performance of this device is highly dependent on PCB layout. See the
Applications Information
section for more detail.
Note 2:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-layer
board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
