MAX97200A Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX97200A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully
assembled and tested circuit board that evaluates the
MAX97200A. The MAX97200A is a 20mW Class G head-
phone amplifier that employs Maxim’s second-generation
DirectDrive
M
technology.
The MAX97200A EV kit provides 3dB gain, is powered
from a 1.8V single power supply, and includes a shut-
down input. The MAX97200A EV kit also evaluates the
MAX97200B. Request a free MAX97200B IC sample
from the factory when ordering the MAX97200B EV kit.

9)
Connect the left channel of the stereo audio source
to INL.
Connect the right channel of the stereo audio
source to INR.
Connect the ground of the stereo audio source to
GND.
Recommended Equipment
Stereo audio signal source
Pair of stereo headphones
The MAX97200A 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)
2)
3)
4)
Verify that shunts are installed as follows:
JU1: Installed (device enabled)
Set the power-supply output to 1.8V.
Disable the power-supply output.
Connect the power-supply ground to the GND pad
and the power-supply positive output to the VIN pad
on the EV kit.
Connect the headphones to the stereo headphone
jack (J1) provided on the EV kit.
Verify that the audio source output is disabled.
Procedure
10) Enable the stereo audio source.
11) Enable the power-supply output.
12) Verify that the headphones are playing the audio
source signal.
Jumper Configuration
Jumper JU1 enables or disables the headphone ampli-
fier. See Table 1 for jumper JU1 configuration.
