Low-power audio codec prevents speaker damage

摘要

Maxim's new MAX98089 stereo audio codec improves audio performance, prevents speaker damage, and includes an easy-to-use GUI (graphical user interface). To minimize the number of discrete components, the device integrates jack detection, which detects button presses and the insertion and removal of accessories. DAC-to-headphone idle power consumption is 5.6 mW, extending battery life. The device targets use in portable-multimedia applications, including tablets, net-books, and mobile phones. The MAX98089 features the company's proprietary FlexSound audio technology, which enhances the signal level, improves the frequency level, and limits the maximum distortion and power at the output.
