The MAX974CPE+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a stereo class D audio power amplifier with built-in digital volume control. This IC is specifically designed to deliver high-quality audio performance in various applications such as TVs, multimedia speakers, and gaming systems.
One of the key features of the MAX974CPE+ is its high-efficiency stereo Class D amplifier architecture, which enables it to deliver up to 2 x 25 watts of output power while minimizing power dissipation. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where power efficiency is important.
The IC also incorporates a digital volume control feature, allowing the user to adjust the volume level with precision. This eliminates the need for an external potentiometer, making the design simpler and more cost-effective.
The MAX974CPE+ includes a shutdown mode, which effectively shuts down the amplifier when not in use, reducing power consumption. Additionally, it has thermal and overcurrent protection to prevent any damage caused by overheating or excessive current.
Another notable feature of this IC is its wide supply voltage range, which extends from 10V to 28V. This flexibility allows it to be utilized in a variety of applications with different power supply configurations.
The MAX974CPE+ is offered in a compact and thermally-enhanced 20-pin DIP (Dual Inline Package) to help dissipate heat effectively. This package is also RoHS compliant, ensuring it adheres to environmental regulations
