The MAX9856 is a high-performance, low-power stereo audio CODEC designed for MP3, personal media players (PMPs), or other portable multimedia devices. Using on-board stereo DirectDrive headphone amplifiers, the CODEC can output 30mW into stereo 32ohm headphones while operating from a single 1.8V power supply. Very low 9mW playback power consumption makes it an ideal choice for battery-powered applications.
The MAX9856 provides microphone input amplifiers, plus flexible input selection, signal mixing, and automatic gain control (AGC). Comprehensive loadimpedance sensing allows the MAX9856 to autodetect most common audio and audio/video headset and jack plug types. ..
