The hold capacitor’s value and ESR directly affect the
ripple at PV
value of the hold capacitor. Choosing a capacitor with
lower ESR reduces ripple and output impedance.
Lower capacitance values can be used in systems with
low maximum output power levels. See the Output
Power vs. Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load
Resistance graphs in the Typical Operating
Characteristics . C2 should be greater than or equal to
the value of C1.

amplifier’s low-frequency response. Use capacitors with
low-voltage coefficient dielectrics. Aluminum electrolytic,
tantalum, or film dielectric capacitors are good choices
for AC-coupling capacitors. Capacitors with high-voltage
coefficients, such as ceramics (non-C0G dielectrics),
can result in increased distortion at low frequencies.
With BassMax disabled, the maximum gain of the
MAX9726 is set by the values of the external resistors

When BassMax is enabled, the bass-boost low-fre-

To maintain circuit stability, the ratio
must not exceed one-half. A ratio equal to or
less than one-third is recommended. The switch that
shorts BM_ to SGND, when BassMax is disabled, can
have an on-resistance as high as 300Ω. Choose a
value for R1 that is greater than 40kΩ to ensure that
positive feedback is negligible when BassMax is dis-
abled. Table 7 contains a list of R2 values, with R1 =
47kΩ, and the corresponding low-frequency gain
boost.
