Maxim's 3D Integration Technology Enables Industry's Smallest Class D Amplifier Solution

With the integrated input capacitors, the MAX98314 fits in a small 1mm x 1mm solution size and saves meanwhile 25% board space. The part is ideal for applications where PCB area is critical, just as portable electronic products including mobile phones, portable audio applications, notebooks, MP3 players, netbooks, and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones.

"Maxim has taken advantage of its really innovative 3D process, opening the doors to countless possibilities for future solutions that enhance mobile devices. There is no better or smaller amplifier than the MAX98314 for your portable design needs," said Kristy Lypen, director of business management for Maxim.
