Evaluation Kit Is A Fully Assembled And Tested PCB That Evaluates The MAX97000

The MAX97000 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that evaluates the MAX97000 mono Class D audio power amplifier and stereo Class H DirectDrive headphone amplifier communicating over a 2-wire I²C interface. The EV kit features an on-board microcontroller for communicating with the I²C interface of the MAX97000. Pads are provided for accessing the analog inputs and amplifier outputs. The MAX97000 EV kit requires a 2.7V to 5.5V power supply. The on-chip LDO generates an internal 1.8V supply from the 2.7V to 5.5V supply. Windows 2000-, Windows XP -, and Windows Vista -compatible software is provided to facilitate configuration. The software controls an on-board microcontroller over USB, which generates I²C commands.
