ANALOG DEVICES MAX98400BEVKIT+

The MAX98400BEVKIT+ is a MAX98400B evaluation kit. It configures the MAX98400B Class D amplifier to drive 2x12W into a pair of 8ohm speakers in stereo mode for audio applications. The EV kit operates from an 8V to 28V DC power supply. The EV kit has a programmable gain and the jumper settings default to a +20.1dB gain. It accepts a pair of single-ended or differential input signals and provides two sets of differential outputs for speakers. The EV kit has two independent amplifier circuits, demonstrating direct speaker driving (for low component count) and filtered output driving (for ease of evaluation). The EV kit provides an option to control the limiter, thermal foldback, input configuration, gain and shutdown mode. It also includes convenient audio input and output connectors. Typical applications include LCD monitors, LCD/PDP televisions, MP3 docking stations and notebook PCs.
