MAX9814ETD+T Low-power Amplifier IC 1-Channel (Mono) Class AB
The MAX9814ETD+T is a high-performance, low-power microphone amplifier with automatic gain control (AGC) and integrated low-noise microphone bias, manufactured by ADI. This specialized IC is designed to deliver clean, conditioned audio signals from electret condenser microphones (ECMs) in demanding acoustic environments. Housed in a compact 14-pin TDFN package, it integrates a complete audio front-end solution, featuring a preamplifier, variable gain amplifier, output amplifier, and AGC/limiter circuitry. It is particularly optimized for applications where sound levels vary widely, such as voice recognition systems, conferencing equipment, camcorders, and portable recording devices, ensuring consistent output levels and preventing signal clipping.
MAX9814ETD+T amplifier Typical Applications
The MAX9814ETD+T excels in consumer electronics and industrial systems requiring robust audio capture, including smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth headsets, security/voice-activated systems, and hearing aids. Its integrated AGC significantly simplifies design by automatically managing volume fluctuations, improving the signal-to-noise ratio for downstream processors, and ensuring optimal recording levels without manual adjustment. This leads to clearer audio capture, reduced parts count, lower overall system power consumption, and faster time-to-market for products needing reliable voice input in noisy or variable environments.
