Product Details

The MAX98397 evaluation system (EV system) is a fully assembled and tested system that evaluates the MAX98397 Class-D audio amplifier. The EV system consists of the MAX98397 Development board (DEV board), Audio Interface board III (AUDINT3), and a USB cable.

It is recommended that the DEV board be evaluated with the AUDINT3 board, as an EV system.

The MAX98397 supports standard I2S, left-justified, and TDM digital audio interfaces.

The AUDINT3 board provides a USB-to-PCM interface in addition to a 1.8V VDD supply needed to evaluate the DEV board. The MAX98397 DEV board requires two additional supply inputs, 3V to 28V (PVDD) and 3V to 5.5V (VBAT) when evaluating using the AUDINT3 board. Figure 1 details the DEV board.
