Maxim Integrated Introduces MAX98390 Smart Amplifier with Dynamic Speaker Management

Maxim Integrated Products introduced the MAX98390 smart amplifier with integrated Dynamic Speaker Management (DSM) algorithm to efficiently deliver louder, clearer, richer sound at the lowest quiescent power in the market. The boosted, digital Class D DSM smart amplifier unleashes a system's full audio potential by safely driving higher power levels (up to 5.1W) into tiny speakers typically rated for much lower power between 1 to 3W.

During Mobile World Congress 2018, CEVA announced the availability of Dynamic Speaker Management (DSM) software from Maxim Integrated Products for its CEVA-TeakLite-4 family of ultra-low power audio/voice DSPs, allowing for much louder and richer sound on smartphones, wearables and headsets. CEVA also confirmed that Nuance Voice Activation technology is now available for the CEVA-TeakLite family of DSPs, offering improved performance and power efficiency for mobile devices and smart home applications.
