GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
is an evaluation board for quick evaluation
of the
. The board uses a single supply from 4.5 V to
17 V. The board includes 3.3 V and 1.8 V regulators. The on-board
digital SPDIF optical input generates the serial digital signal to
the

C/SPI Host Adapter. The application circuit requires a minimum
of external components and can operate from a single 4.5 V to
17 V supply. It is capable of delivering 8 W of continuous output
power into an 8 Ω load, and 15 W into an 4 Ω load from a 12 V
power supply. The board can deliver 25 W into a 4 Ω load from
a 16 V power supply, all with <1% total harmonic dist
noise (THD + N); however, output powers above 20 W are not
continuous due to the thermal limit.
This user guide describes how to configure and use the
evaluation board. When using the evaluation board,
consult this user guide in conjunction with the
data
sheet, which provides specifications, internal block diagrams,
and application guidance for the amplifier IC.
The
evaluation board includes a complete
circuit for driving a loudspeaker. Figure 1 shows the top view of
the evaluation board, and Figure 2 shows the bottom view of the
evaluation board.
