The MAX9760 evaluation system (EV system) consists of a MAX9760 evaluation kit (EV kit) and a companion Maxim System Management Bus (SMBus™) interface board. The MAX9760 EV kit is also capable of evaluating the MAX9761/MAX9762/MAX9763.

The MAX9760 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that evaluates the MAX9760 3W stereo audio power amplifier plus headphone driver. The EV kit is designed to be driven by any stereo audio source such as a CD player. The EV kit includes RCA jacks on the inputs, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and terminal blocks on the outputs to facilitate easy connections to the circuit board. The EV kit includes Windows®98/2000/XP-compatible software, which provides a user interface for exercising the MAX9760's features.

The Maxim SMBus interface board (MAXSMBUS) allows an IBM®-compatible PC to use its parallel port to emulate an SMBus/I²C 2-wire interface. Windows 98/2000/XP-compatible software provides a user-friendly interface to exercise the MAX9760 features. The program is menu driven and offers a graphical user interface (GUI) with control buttons and a status display.

The MAX9760EVSYS includes both the EV kit and the MAXSMBUS interface board. Order the MAX9760EVKIT if you already have an SMBus interface. The MAX9761 EV kit functions as a stand-alone unit, the MAXSMBUS interface is not required.
