The MAX9726 evaluation kit is a fully assembled and
tested PCB that evaluates the MAX9726 stereo
DirectDrive headphone amplifier. The MAX9726 consists
of two Class AB amplifiers designed to operate
from a 2.7V to 5.5VDC power supply and deliver
100mW into a 32 stereo headphone. The EV kit
includes a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack and an
I²C/SMBus-compatible interface that allows for software
control of the BassMax (bass-boost), shutdown,
and output volume setting features.
The Maxim CMAXQUSB command module provides
the I²C/SMBus interface and is connected to the computer
through the universal serial bus (USB) port. The
MAX9726 EV kit software provides a graphical user
interface (GUI) for exercising the MAX9726 features.
