Product details

What this amp is and where it fits

25mW per channel — what it means for your headphone choice

At 25mW into 16Ω, the MAX9725BETC drives most consumer earbuds and portable headphones to comfortable listening levels.

Lifecycle and sourcing reality

The MAX9725BETC is listed as Active with no end-of-life notice. That means you can still design it into new products without worrying about a last-time-buy window closing. RoHS non-compliant per the record — check your assembly house's exemption policy if you need lead-free. Sourced through independent distribution; we quote to order against an RFQ with current pricing and lead time confirmed at quote time.
