Depop, differential inputs, and shutdown
Three integrated features simplify the audio chain. The depop circuit suppresses the audible pop and click during power-up and shutdown — no external muting FET or timing capacitor needed. Differential inputs reject common-mode noise picked up on long signal traces to the codec or DAC. The shutdown pin drops quiescent current to near zero for power-save modes in duty-cycled designs.
Active production — no LTB risk
The MAX9788ETI+T carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notice is in effect, so it can be specified into new designs and production BOMs without near-term obsolescence concern.
