1.2 W filterless Class D — what that means on the bench
The MAX9700BETB from Maxim Integrated is a 1.2 W low-EMI, filterless Class D audio amplifier. It delivers 1.2 W continuous output into a speaker load without the bulky output filter inductors that traditional Class D stages require. The low-EMI design keeps radiated emissions within limits for portable and board-level audio — think Bluetooth speakers, portable radios, or any battery-powered device where board space and component count matter. The filterless topology also means fewer external parts on the BOM, which simplifies the layout and saves cost in volume production.
The part ships in Bulk packaging.
