The recommended layout and placement for the MAX98304DEWL+T can be found in the Maxim Integrated Products application note AN4689, which provides guidelines for PCB layout, component placement, and thermal management to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
To optimize the MAX98304DEWL+T for low noise and high PSRR, it is recommended to use a low-noise power supply, decouple the input and output pins with high-quality capacitors, and use a ground plane to minimize noise coupling. Additionally, the device's internal voltage regulator can be bypassed with an external capacitor to further reduce noise.
The maximum power handling capability of the MAX98304DEWL+T depends on the output configuration and the ambient temperature. According to the datasheet, the device can deliver up to 2.5W of power per channel into a 4Ω load at a maximum ambient temperature of 85°C. However, it is recommended to derate the power handling capability based on the actual operating conditions to ensure reliable operation.
The MAX98304DEWL+T can be configured for mono or stereo operation by connecting the appropriate pins. For mono operation, the left and right channel inputs are connected together, and the device outputs a single mono signal. For stereo operation, the left and right channel inputs are connected separately, and the device outputs a stereo signal with separate left and right channels.
The recommended input signal level for the MAX98304DEWL+T is between 0.5Vrms and 1.5Vrms. Input signals above 1.5Vrms may cause the device to clip, resulting in distortion and reduced audio quality. Input signals below 0.5Vrms may result in reduced output power and signal-to-noise ratio.
