MAX9713 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX9713 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that contains the
MAX9713 filterless class D amplifier. The EV kit is capa-
ble of delivering 6W into an 8Ω load and is designed to
operate from a 10V to 25V DC power supply. The
MAX9713 EV kit accepts differential or single-ended
input signals and provides an option to select between
different switching frequencies.

Detailed Description
The MAX9713 EV kit contains the MAX9713 filterless
class D amplifier IC. The EV kit operates from a 10V to
25V DC power supply and accepts a differential or sin-
gle-ended audio input source. The single-ended input
mode accepts up to 2V
P-P
signals, and the differential
mode accepts up to 4V
P-P
signals. The audio input
source is amplified to drive 6W into an 8Ω speaker.
The MAX9713 EV kit provides three sets of differential
outputs. The device outputs (OUT+/-) can be connect-
ed directly to a speaker load without any filtering.
However, a filter can be added to ease evaluation. The
filtered outputs (FOUT1+/-) require installation of filter-
ing components T1, C21, and C22. The LCR filtered
outputs (FOUT2+/-) require installation of filtering com-
ponents L4, L5, C15–C20, R2, and R3.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• 15V, 1A power supply
• Audio source (i.e., CD player, cassette player)
• 8Ω/16Ω speaker
Procedure
The MAX9713 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) Verify that no shunt is across jumper JU6 (differential
input mode).
2) Verify shunt across pins 1-2 of jumper JU1. Install
shunt across jumper JU7 (EV kit is enabled).

Jumper Selection
Shutdown Mode
Jumpers JU1 and JU7 control the shutdown pin
(SHDN) of the MAX9713. See Table 1 for the JU1 and
JU7 functions.
Note:
Contact your local Maxim representative for rec-
ommended MAX9713 filtering component values.
Gain Selection
Jumpers JU2 and JU3 provide an option to select the
output voltage gain. See Table 2 for JU2 and JU3 func-
tions. See Table 5 for power vs. gain and input levels.
Switching Frequency
The MAX9713 has two operating modes, fixed-frequen-
cy modulation (FFM) mode and spread-spectrum mod-
ulation (SSM) mode. Jumpers JU4 and JU5 control pins
FS1 and FS2. See Table 3 for JU4 and JU5 functions.
