The MAX971ESA+T is an IC (integrated circuit) component that is designed for audio applications. It is a high-performance, stereo audio power amplifier that provides efficient amplification of audio signals.
This amplifier operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V power supply, making it suitable for portable audio devices and other low-power applications. It is capable of delivering up to 2.8W of output power per channel into a 4-ohm load, and up to 1.4W into an 8-ohm load. The MAX971ESA+T features a low quiescent current, which means it consumes minimal power when there is no audio signal.
One of the key features of the MAX971ESA+T is its low distortion and excellent audio quality. It has a low total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of only 0.1% at 1kHz, ensuring that the amplified audio signal remains faithful to the original input. The amplifier also has a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 86dB, resulting in a clean and clear audio output.
Another important feature of the MAX971ESA+T is its thermal overload protection. The IC is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit that prevents the amplifier from overheating, which could potentially damage the component or distort the audio output. This protection mechanism ensures the reliability and longevity of the amplifier
