MAX97003 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX97003
General Description
The MAX97003 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested PCB that evaluates the MAX97003 audio
subsystem. The device features a mono Class D speaker
amplifier and a stereo Class H DirectDrive
M
headphone
amplifier. The EV kit features an on-board microcontroller
for communicating with the I
2
C interface of the device.
Pads are provided for accessing the analog inputs and
amplifier outputs.
The EV kit requires a 2.7V to 5.5V power supply. The
on-board LDO generates an additional 1.8V supply from
the USB 5V supply. The EV kit delivers 1W into an 8I
speaker, and 32mW/channel into a 32I headphone.
Windows XP
M
-, Windows Vista
M
-, and Windows
M
7-compat-
ible EV kit software is provided to facilitate configuration.
The EV kit software controls the on-board microcontroller
over USB, which generates I
2
C commands.

the first time. If a window is not seen that is similar to
the one described above after 30s, remove the USB
cable from the board and reconnect it. Administrator
privileges are required to install the USB device
driver on Windows.
10) Follow the directions in the
Found New Hardware
window to install the USB device driver. Refer to the
USB_Driver_Help_200.PDF document included with
the software for additional information.
11) Start the EV kit software by opening its icon in the
Start | Programs | Maxim EVKITSoftware
menu.
The EV kit software main window appears, as shown
in Figure 2.
12) Wait while the software connects to the EV kit. Once
the connection is established, the status bar at the
bottom displays
Hardware: Connected
and
Device
Found.
13) Once the EV kit software has initialized, select the
Control Panel
tab.
14) Click on the
Input A
drop-down menu in the
Input
PreAmp Gain
group box and select
0dB.
15) Check the

Note:
In the following sections, software-related items
are identified by bolding. Text in
bold
refers to items
directly from the EV kit software. Text in
bold and under-
lined
refers to items from the Windows operating system.
The 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) Visit
http://www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware
to
download the latest version of the EV kit software,
97003Rxx.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a tempo-
rary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
2) Install the EV kit software on your computer by run-
ning the INSTALL.EXE program inside the temporary
folder. The program files are copied and icons are
created in the Windows
Start | Programs| Maxim
EVKIT Software
menu.
3) Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions, as
shown in Table 1.
4) Connect the power supply between the PVDD and
PGND PCB pads.
5) Set the power supply to 4.2V and turn it on.
6) Apply a stereo single-ended audio signal to INA1
and INA2.
7) Connect a speaker between the OUT+ and OUT- test
points.
8) Connect a headphone to HPJK.
9) Connect a USB cable between the PC and the Mini-
USB port on the EV kit. A

Detailed Description of Software
The MAX97003 EV kit software GUI provides a conveni-
ent way to test the features of the MAX97003. Figure 2
displays the EV kit software’s Control Panel tab sheet,
while Figure 3 displays the Control Registers tab sheet.
Actions on either of these two tabs generate I
2
C com-
mands to update the device’s internal memory registers.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The EV kit software Control Panel tab sheet divides the
EV kit functions into logical blocks. The EV kit software
Control Registers tab sheet displays each register’s indi-
vidual bit logic-level status. A data bit in bold indicates
a logic-high, while a data bit that is not bold indicates a
logic-low. Clicking on the individual data bit toggles the
bit and performs a write command. The new command
is shown in the edit box at the right. Alternatively, write
commands can be written to the registers by typing a
hex value in the edit box and pressing the Enter key on
the keyboard.
