Working Principles

The MAX9718DEBL+T is a Class D audio amplifier that utilizes pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques to amplify audio signals efficiently. It operates on a single supply voltage and converts the input audio signal into a high-frequency PWM waveform. This waveform is then filtered and amplified to drive the connected speaker.

The amplifier's high efficiency is achieved by rapidly switching the output stage between fully on and fully off states, minimizing power dissipation. The integrated protection circuitry safeguards against thermal overload and short-circuit conditions, ensuring safe operation.
