MAX98357A

Analog Devices

MAX98357A is an Analog Devices 3.2-W I2S digital-input Class-D amplifier in 16-pin TQFN (also 9-pin WLP) — for adding speaker output to any microcontroller with I2S: ESP32 voice assistants, Raspberry Pi audio HATs and portable IoT devices. 2.5-V to 5.5-V single supply, 3.2 W into 4 ohms at 5 V, no MCLK required, 8-kHz to 96-kHz sample rates, and filterless outputs that need only one bypass capacitor (4.32 mm2 solution). Selection advice: the A variant takes standard I2S — for left-justified data choose the MAX98357B; against TI digital-input amps on this site, the MAX98357A wins on board area and MCLK-free simplicity for sub-5-W designs, while the TAS5805M is the pick when DSP/EQ is needed. Five pin-selectable gains (3/6/9/12/15 dB) and left/right/mono-mix output suit single-speaker products. Parameters verified against Analog Devices documentation. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

MAX98357A selection guidance

MAX98357A is a Audio power amplifier from Analog Devices, orderable in the TQFN-16 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

MAX98357A FAQ

What do the suffixes in MAX98357A mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. MAX98357A names the TQFN-16 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for MAX98357A?

The package (TQFN-16) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for MAX98357A?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for MAX98357A?

Add MAX98357A to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (Analog Devices), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
