the MAX9724 addresses the problem of the RF suscep-
tibility by rejecting RF noise and preventing it from cou-
pling into the audio band.
The RF susceptibility of an amplifier can be measured
by placing the amplifier in an isolated chamber and sub-
jecting it to an electric field of known strength. If the
electric field is modulated with an audio band signal, a
percentage of the modulated signal will be demodulat-
ed and amplified by the device in the chamber. Figure 2
shows the signal level at the outputs of an unoptimized
amplifier and the MAX9724. The test conditions are
shown in Table 1.
In conventional single-supply audio amplifiers, the out-
put-coupling capacitor contributes significantly to audi-
ble clicks and pops. Upon startup, the amplifier charges
the coupling capacitor to its bias voltage, typically half
the supply. Likewise, on shutdown, the capacitor is dis-
charged. This results in a DC shift across the capacitor,
which appears as an audible transient at the speaker.
Since the MAX9724A/ MAX9724B do not require output-
coupling capacitors, this problem does not arise.
Additionally, the MAX9724A/MAX9724B feature exten-
sive click-and-pop suppression that eliminates any audi-
ble transient sources internal to the device.

Typically, the output of the device driving the
MAX9724A/MAX9724B has a DC bias of half the supply
voltage. At startup, the input-coupling capacitor, C
charged to the preamplifier’s DC bias voltage through
the MAX9724A/MAX9724B input resistor, R
series 15kΩ resistor. This DC shift across the capacitor
results in an audible click-and-pop. Delay the rise of
SHDN 4 to 5 time constants based on R
to eliminate clicks-and-pops caused by the input filter.
The MAX9724A/MAX9724B feature a < 0.1µA, low-
power shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current
consumption and extends battery life for portable appli-
cations. Drive SHDN low to disable the amplifiers and
the charge pump. In shutdown mode, the amplifier out-
put impedance is set to 14kΩ||R
MAX9724B). The amplifiers and charge pump are
enabled once SHDN is driven high.
Under normal operating conditions, linear power ampli-
fiers can dissipate a significant amount of power. The
maximum power dissipation for each package is given
in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section under
