MAX98302 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX98302
19-5218; Rev 0; 4/10
General Description
The MAX98302 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested PCB that evaluates the MAX98302 stereo
2.4W Class D amplifier. The EV kit operates from a
single 2.6V to 5.5V DC power supply. The EV kit accepts
a differential or single-ended audio input and provides
differential outputs for the speaker. The device outputs
can be connected directly to a speaker load for filter-
less applications; however, a filter can be added to ease
evaluation.
Features
S 2.6V to 5.5V Single-Supply Operation
S Single-Ended or Differential Audio Input
S Five Selectable Gains
S Filterless Operation
S Optional Class D Output Filters for Ease of
Evaluation
S Low-Power Shutdown Input
S Fully Assembled and Tested
Component List
+Denotes lead(Pb)-free and RoHS compliant.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
• 2.6V to 5.5V, 2A DC power supply
• Stereo audio input
• Two 8I speakers
Procedure
The MAX98302 EV kit is fully assembled and test-
ed. 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, JU4: Installed (single-ended input)
JU2: Pins 1-2 (device enabled)
JU3: Pins 1-3 (12dB gain)
2) Set the power-supply output to 5V. Disable the
power supply.
3) Connect the power-supply ground terminal to the
GND pad and the power-supply positive terminal to
the PVDD pad on the EV kit.
4) With the audio source disabled, connect the left
channel of the audio source to the INL+ test pad.
5) Connect the right channel of the audio source to the
INR+ test pad.
6) Connect the audio source ground to the GND test
pad.
7) Connect the first speaker across the OUTL+ and
OUTL- test points.
8) Connect the second speaker across the OUTR+
and OUTR- test points.
9) Enable the power-supply output.
10) Enable the audio source.
11) Verify that the speakers are playing the audio source
signal.
Detailed Description of Hardware
Filterless Output
The MAX98302 EV kit’s filterless outputs (OUTL+,
OUTL-, OUTR+, and OUTR-) can be connected directly
to a speaker load without any filtering. Use the OUTL+
and OUTL- test points or the OUTR+ and OUTR- test
points to connect the speaker directly to the MAX98302
output.
Filtered Output
Audio analyzers typically cannot accept the Class D
amplifier’s pulse-width modulated (PWM) signals at their
inputs. Therefore, the EV kit features optional lowpass
filters at the outputs to ease evaluation. To use the
filtering output pads (FOUTL+, FOUTL-, FOUTR+, and
FOUTR-), install inductors L1–L4 (provided separately
with the EV kit), connect the loads to the output pads,
and connect the filtered outputs to the audio analyzer.
The default lowpass filters at the EV kit output are opti-
mized for an 8Ω speaker.
Jumper Selection
Single-Ended/Differential Audio Inputs
The EV kit features jumpers JU1 and JU4 to select
between a differential or single-ended input mode. See
Table 1 for shunt positions.

Shutdown Function (SHDN)
The EV kit features 3-pin jumper JU2 to control the
active-low shutdown input. Drive SHDN high to place the
device in normal operation. Drive SHDN low to place the
device in the low-power shutdown mode. See Table 2 for
shunt positions.
Selectable Gain (GAIN)
The EV kit features 5-pin jumper JU3 to control
the MAX98302’s five programmable gain settings. See
Table 3 for gain control configuration.
