Quick Start Detailed Description of Hardware Recommended Equipment The MAX9830A EV kit features the MAX9830A filterless Class D amplifier IC, designed to drive a BTL mono speaker in portable audio applications. The EV kit operates from a DC power supply that provides 2.6V to 5.5V and 1A of current. The EV kit accepts a differential or single-ended audio input. The audio input source is amplified to drive 2W into a 4I speaker. U 2.6V to 5.5V, 1A DC supply U 4I speaker U Mono audio signal source Procedure The MAX9830A EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. 1) Verify that shunts are installed as follows: JU1: Pins 1-2 (device enabled) JU2: Installed (single-ended input) 2) Set the power-supply output to 5V. The EV kit provides two sets of differential outputs. The device outputs (OUT+, OUT-) can be connected directly to a speaker load, without any filtering, with up to 24in (61cm) of cable. However, a filter can be added to ease evaluation. Speaker Amplifier Shutdown Jumper JU1 enables or disables the speaker amplifier. See Table 1 for jumper JU1 configuration. Input Mode 3) Disable the power-supply output. 4) Connect the power-supply ground to the GND pad and the power-supply positive output to the VDD pad on the EV kit. Jumper JU2 provides the option to select between a differential or single-ended input mode for the EV kit. See Table 2 for JU2 configuration. 5) Verify that the audio source output is disabled. Table 1. Shutdown Input (JU1) 6) Connect the mono audio source between the INPUT+ and INPUT- pads on the EV kit. 7) Connect the speaker across the OUT+ and OUTtest points. 8) Enable the power-supply output. 9) Enable the audio source. 10) Verify that the speaker is playing the audio source signal.

Audio analyzers typically cannot accept the Class D amplifier’s pulse-width-modulated (PWM) waveform at their inputs. The lowpass filter extracts the audio content from the PWM output signal and allows the device to be connected directly to an audio analyzer. The PWM output signal can be lowpass filtered by installing 22µH ±20%, 0.7A inductors (TOKO A915AY-220M) at L1 and L2. The filtered outputs should then be monitored at the FOUT+ and FOUT- pads.

When evaluating the MAX9830A without any filtering, connect the speaker to the outputs (OUT+, OUT-). Evaluates: MAX9830A–MAX9830E MAX9830A Evaluation Kit 1.0” Figure 2.
