The MAX9717 require output-coupling capacitors to
operate in single-ended (headphone) mode. The out-
put-coupling capacitor blocks the DC component of the
amplifier output, preventing DC current from flowing to
the load. The output capacitor and the load impedance
form a highpass filter with a -3dB point determined by:
As with the input capacitor, choose C

choosing C

increases the corner frequency, degrading low-fre-
quency response. Select C

response. Select capacitors with low ESR to minimize
resistive losses and optimize power transfer to the load.
The MAX9716 can be configured for a differential input.
The advantage of differential inputs is that any com-
mon-mode noise is attenuated and not passed through
the amplifier. This input improves noise rejection and
provides common-mode rejection (Figure 3). External
components should be closely matched for high
CMRR. Figure 4 shows the MAX9716 configured for a
differential input.
