MAX9716 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX9716 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that uses the MAX9716, a low-
cost, mono, 1.4W, bridge-tied-load (BTL) audio power
amplifier with adjustable gain. Designed to operate
from a 2.7V to 5.5V DC power supply, the EV kit is
capable of delivering 1.4W into a 4Ω load with less than
1% THD+N.
The EV kit can be used to evaluate the MAX9717A/B/C/D.
To evaluate the MAX9717A with the EV kit, replace the
MAX9716 IC with a MAX9717A. To evaluate the
MAX9717B/C/D with the EV kit, replace the MAX9716 IC
with a MAX9717B/C/D, remove resistors R1 and R2, and
short the R1 pads.

MAX9716 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX9716/MAX9717A/B/C/D
Quick Start
The MAX9716 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation.
Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
Detailed Description
Jumper Selection
Jumper JU1 controls the IN+ pin (MAX9716) or
BTL/SE
pin (MAX9717). See Table 1 for JU1 function.
Jumper JU2 controls the
SHDN
pin of the MAX9716/
MAX9717 IC. See Table 2 for JU2 functions.
Recommended Equipment
• 2.7V to 5.5V, 1A power supply
• Audio source (i.e., CD player, cassette player)
• 4Ω/8Ω speaker
• Headphone with 3.5mm plug (MAX9717 only)
1) Verify that JU2 has a shunt across pins 1 and 2
(SHDN = high).
2) Verify that JU1 has a shunt across pins 1 and 3
(IN+ = BIAS).
3) Connect the speaker across OUT+ and OUT-.
4) Connect the 5.0V power supply to the VCC pad and
the power-supply ground to the GND pad.
5) Connect the audio source to VIN- pad.
6) Turn on the power supply, and then turn on the
audio source.
7) Plug in the headphone for the headphone mode
(MAX9717 only).
Gain Settings (MAX9716/MAX9717A)
R1 and R2 set the gain of the EV kit. The EV kit comes
with R1 and R2 equal to 10kΩ, setting the BTL gain to
2V/V. To change the output-voltage gain, choose R2
between 10kΩ to 50kΩ. The BTL output gain is deter-
mined by the following equation:
A
V
= 2 x (R2/R1)
where A
V
is the desired BTL output-voltage gain.
For the MAX9717A, the gain of single-ended mode is
set by A
V
= R2/R1.
Evaluating MAX9717A/B/C/D
To evaluate the MAX9717A with the MAX9716 EV kit,
replace the MAX9716ETA with a MAX9717AETA.
Change jumper JU1 position according to Table 1.
To evaluate the MAX9717B/C/D with the MAX9716 EV
kit, replace the MAX9716ETA with a MAX9717BETA/
MAX9717CETA/MAX9717DETA, remove input and
feedback resistors R1 and R2, then short the R1 pads.
The MAX9717B/C/D has internally fixed BTL gains of
6dB, 9dB, and 12dB, respectively. Change jumper JU1
position according to Table 1.
