parasitic bond wire and trace inductance. Although not
typically required, additional high-frequency ripple atten-
uation can be achieved by increasing the size of C2 (see
the Block Diagrams).
The headphone sense input (HPS) monitors the head-
phone jack and automatically configures the device
based upon the voltage applied at HPS. A voltage of
less than 0.8V sets the device to speaker mode. A volt-
age of greater than 2V disables the bridge amplifiers
and enables the headphone amplifiers.
For automatic headphone detection, connect HPS to the
control pin of a 3-wire headphone jack as shown in
Figure 5. With no headphone present, the output imped-
ance of the headphone amplifier pulls HPS low. When a
headphone plug is inserted into the jack, the control pin
is disconnected from the tip contact and HPS is pulled
to V
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 feature an internally
generated, power-supply independent, common-mode
bias voltage of 1.8V referenced to GND. BIAS provides
both click-and-pop suppression and sets the DC bias
level for the amplifiers. Choose the value of the bypass
capacitor as described in the BIAS Capacitor section.
No external load should be applied to BIAS. Any load
lowers the BIAS voltage, affecting the overall perfor-
mance of the device.

The MAX9750 features an internally set, selectable gain.
The GAIN1 and GAIN2 inputs set the maximum gain of
the MAX9750 speaker and headphone amplifiers (Table
1). The gain of the device can vary based upon the volt-
age at VOL (see the Analog Volume Control (VOL) sec-
tion). However, the maximum gain cannot be exceeded.
The gain of the MAX9751/MAX9755 is set by the GAIN
input. Driving GAIN high sets the gain of the speaker
amplifiers to 9dB and the gain of the headphone ampli-
fiers to 0dB. Driving GAIN low sets the gain of the
speaker amplifiers to 10.5dB, and the gain of the head-
phone amplifiers to 3dB (Table 2).
The MAX9750 features an analog volume control that
varies the gain of the device in 31 discrete steps based
upon the DC voltage applied to VOL. The input range of
V
with example step sizes shown in Table 3. Connect the
reference of the device driving VOL (Figure 6) to HPV
Since the volume control ADC is ratiometric to HPV
any changes in HPV
are not constant; the step sizes are 0.5dB/step at the
upper extreme, 2dB/step in the midrange, and 4dB/step
at the lower extreme. Figure 7 shows the transfer function
of the volume control for a 3.3V supply.
