How can one estimate the input supply current of the MAX97220 audio amplifier ?

If the audio output power (Pout) of the MAX97220 audio amplifier is known, the input power (Pin) can be calculated as : 

Pin = Pout + Pd

where,

Pin = Power supplied to the audio amp

Pout = Output power of the audio amp

Pd = Power Dissipation of the audio amp

Power Dissipation can be determined from the datasheet typical operating characteristic Power Dissipation vs. Output Power (toc22).

 For example, for an output power of  125mW per channel, the power dissipation is 350 mW. 

Pd = 350mW

Since 125mW is output power per channel,  Pout = 2x125mW  = 250mW

 

Pin = 250mW + 350mW =   600 mW

 

If Vin = 5V (supply voltage) , since  Pin = Vin x Iin,

Iin = 600/5 = 120mA (supply current) .
