Analog Devices Inc. MAX98366 Evaluation Systems

Analog Devices Inc. MAX98366 Evaluation Systems are fully assembled and tested platforms designed to evaluate the MAX98366A/B/C/D mono Class-D audio amplifiers with ultrasound support. The system includes the MAX98366 Development Board (DEV Board), the Audio Interface Board III (AUDINT3), and a USB cable. For optimal performance, it is recommended to evaluate the DEV Board in conjunction with the AUDINT3 Board as a complete EV System. The MAX98366A and MAX98366C variants support the standard I2S digital audio interface, while the MAX98366B and MAX98366D support left-justified mode. All variants are compatible with an 8-channel time division multiplexed (TDM) interface.

The AUDINT3 Board serves as a USB-to-PCM interface and provides the necessary 1.8V VDD supply for the DEV Board. Additionally, the DEV Board requires an external PVDD supply ranging from 3V to 15V when used with the AUDINT3 Board.
