1.4 W per channel into 4 Ω — the headline number that defines the load
The MAX9719DETE: The Class AB output stage keeps crossover distortion low at the expense of quiescent current, which means the supply headroom matters: at 5.5 V the amp hits its rated power; at 2.7 V the available swing is reduced and the maximum output drops accordingly.
Package and board-fit — 16-TQFN with exposed pad
Housed in a 16-WQFN exposed pad package (4x4 mm body, supplier device package 16-TQFN), the MAX9719DETE requires a thermal land on the PCB to pull heat from the die.
Active lifecycle — but RoHS non-compliant
Because the part is active, it is sourced through authorized distribution channels.
