MAX98400A Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX98400A
General Description
The MAX98400A evaluation kit (EV kit) configures the
MAX98400A Class D amplifier to drive 2x20W into a pair of
8I speakers in stereo mode, or 1x40W into a 4I speaker
in mono mode, for audio applications. The EV kit operates
from an 8V to 28V DC power supply. The EV kit is config-
ured for +20.1dB gain. The EV kit 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 MAX98400A circuits,
demonstrating direct speaker driving (for low component
count) and filtered output driving (for ease of evaluation).
The EV kit comes with two MAX98400AETX+ devices
installed.
The EV kit provides an option to control the limiter,
thermal foldback, input configuration, gain, shutdown,
and mono mode of the MAX98400A. The EV kit also
provides an input pad to accept an optional external power
supply for powering the device’s preamplifiers. The EV kit
includes convenient audio input and output connectors.
