MAX98372EVSYS

Product Details

The MAX98372 Evaluation System (EV system) evaluates the MAX98372 digital input Class D speaker amplifier with dynamic headroom tracking and automatic level control. The EV system comprises the MAX98372 development (DEV) board, Maxim’s audio interface 1 (AUDINT1) board, and the MAX98372 evaluation software.

The MAX98372 DEV board is a fully assembled and tested PCB that contains the necessary circuitry and connections to evaluate the MAX98372 device. It is recommended that the DEV board be evaluated with the AUDINT1 board as an EV system. The MAX98372 requires two supply inputs, 1.14V to 1.98V (DVDD) and 5.5V to 18V (PVDD), and can deliver 19W into an 8Ω load. Additionally, the MAX98372 supports standard I²S, left-justified, and TDM digital audio interfaces.

When evaluated as an EV system, the AUDINT1 board provides the necessary logic rails and USB-to-I²S and USB-to-I²C interfaces needed to evaluate the MAX98372 DEV board with only a single external power supply. The Simplified EV System Block Diagram provides an image of the EV system, highlighting the key areas on each board.

Communication with the DEV board is facilitated by Windows^® 7- and Windows 8-compatible software that provides a simple and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). The MAX98372 evaluation software is only for use with the MAX98372 EV System.
