MAX9789A Evaluation Kit
The MAX9789A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that evaluates the
MAX9789A IC. The MAX9789A combines a stereo 2W
Class AB speaker power amplifier, a stereo 85mW
DirectDrive™ headphone amplifier, and a 120mA lowdropout (LDO) linear regulator in a single device. The
MAX9789A is designed for use with the Windows
Vista™ operating system and is fully compliant with
Microsoft’s premium mobile Vista specifications.
The speaker amplifier operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V DC
power supply and delivers 2 x 2W output power into a
pair of 4Ω speakers. The headphone amplifier operates
from a 3.0V to 5.5V DC power supply and delivers
100mW output power into a 16Ω stereo headphone.
The MAX9789A provides separate stereo speaker and
headphone amplifier inputs. Control pins provide independent shutdown of the speaker and headphone
amplifiers, allowing speaker and headphone amplifiers
to reproduce separate audio streams simultaneously.
The MAX9789A features an internal 120mA LDO. The
LDO output voltage is internally set at 4.75V, or can be
externally adjusted between 1.21V and 4.75V using a
simple resistor-divider. The LDO can be enabled independently of the audio amplifiers.
The MAX9789A EV kit can be used to evaluate the
MAX9790A. See the Evaluating the MAX9790A section
for more details.

MAX9789A Evaluation Kit
Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
• One 5V, 2A power supply
• Two audio sources
• Stereo speakers
13) Connect the second audio source to the HP_INL
and the HP_INR pads. Connect the audio source
ground to the SGND pad.
14) Turn on the power supply and both audio sources.
Detailed Description
• One stereo headphone
The MAX9789A EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps listed below to verify board operation.
Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed.
1) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1 and 2 of
jumper J1 (LDO_EN = VDD, LDO enabled).
2) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 2 and 3 of
jumper J2 (LDO_SET = GND, LDO_OUT = 4.75V).
3) Verify that shunts are installed across pins 1 and 2
of jumper J3 and pins 2 and 3 of jumper J4 (GAIN2
= VDD, GAIN1 = GND, SPKR gain = 10dB).
4) Verify that a shunt is installed across jumper J5
(HPVDD = VDD).
5) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1 and 2 of
jumper J6 (MUTE = VDD, MUTE disabled).
6) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 2 and 3 of
jumper J7 (SPKR_EN = GND, SPKR enabled).
7) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1 and 2 of
jumper J8 (HP_EN = VDD, enabled).
8) Connect the first speaker to the OUTL+ and the
OUTL- pads.
9) Connect the second speaker to the OUTR+ and the
OUTR- pads.
10) Insert a pair of headphones to jack J9.
11) Connect the ground terminal of the power supply to
the GND pad. Connect the +5V power supply to the
VDD pad.
12) Connect the first audio source to the SPKR_INL and
the SPKR_INR pads. Connect the audio source
ground to the SGND pad.
The MAX9789A EV kit is designed to evaluate the
MAX9789A IC. The MAX9789A combines a stereo 2W
Class AB speaker power amplifier, a stereo 100mW
DirectDrive headphone amplifier, and a 120mA lowdropout linear regulator in a single device. The
MAX9789A is designed for use with the Windows Vista
operating system and is fully compliant with Microsoft’s
premium mobile Vista specifications.
The speaker amplifier operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V DC
power supply and delivers 2 x 2W output power into a
pair of 4Ω speakers from an independent input port.
The headphone amplifier operates from a 3.0V to 5.5V
DC power supply and delivers 100mW power into 16Ω
stereo headphones from an independent input port.
The EV kit can be powered by a single 4.5V to 5.5V DC
power supply if desired.
The MAX9789A provides separate stereo speaker and
headphone amplifier inputs. Control pins provide independent shutdown of the speaker and headphone
amplifiers, allowing speaker and headphone amplifiers
to reproduce separate audio streams simultaneously.
The speaker amplifier gain of the MAX9789A is selectable by jumpers J3 and J4. The MAX9789A also features a 120mA, fixed 4.75V or adjustable 1.21V to
4.75V, low-dropout linear regulator.
The EV kit is shipped with the MAX9789AETJ+ installed.
The EV kit can also evaluate the MAX9790A. To evaluate
the MAX9790A, see the Evaluating the MAX9790A section for additional information.
