MAX9736A Evaluation Kit
Evluates:/MAX9736B
General Description
Features
The MAX9736A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that configures
the MAX9736A Class D amplifier to drive 2 x 15W into a
pair of 8Ω speakers in stereo mode, or 1 x 30W into a
4Ω speaker in mono mode for audio applications. The
EV kit operates from an 8V to 28V DC power supply
and is configured for +17.1dB gain. The MAX9736A EV
kit accepts a pair of single-ended input signals and
provides two sets of differential outputs for speakers.
♦ 8V to 28V Single DC Power-Supply Operation
♦ Fully Differential Outputs
♦ Drives 2 x 15W into 8Ω Speakers in Stereo Mode
♦ Drives 1 x 30W into 4Ω Speaker in Mono Mode
♦ Shutdown and Mute Control
♦ Selectable Modulation Scheme
The MAX9736A EV kit provides an option to control the
shutdown, mute, modulation scheme, and mono mode
of the MAX9736A. The EV kit includes convenient audio
input and output connectors and the required output fil-
ters to ease evaluation. The MAX9736A EV kit can also
evaluate the MAX9736B after IC replacement (U1).
♦ Evaluates the MAX9736A/MAX9736B in 32-Pin
TQFN-EP Package
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
