19-4499; Rev 1; 4/09 MAX13331 Evaluation Kit Features The MAX13331 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that evaluates the MAX13331 DirectDrive (R) stereo headphone amplifier. DirectDrive eliminates the two large DCblocking capacitors typically required between the output of the amplifier and the headphones. The MAX13331 EV kit includes two RCA phono jacks on the input and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the output to facilitate easy connections to the circuit board. No DC-Blocking Capacitors Required The MAX13331 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX13330 IC. This requires the IC replacement of U1.

Quick Start Detailed Description of Hardware Required Equipment The MAX13331 EV kit is a stereo, single-supply headphone amplifier. The input impedance is 15k. The -3dB corner frequencies are approximately 10Hz and greater than 22kHz and are dependent on components R1/C1 and R2/C2. The MAX13331 EV kit has a gain of approximately 1.5 and can be powered with a 4V to 5.5V supply The EV kit provides two RCA phono jacks (P1 and P2) to facilitate the connection of an audio source. In addition, both outputs (OUTL and OUTR) are routed to a stereo headphone jack (J1), facilitating output monitoring. Shutdown control of OUTL and OUTR is also provided through jumper JU1. * One pair of 8 to 32 headphones * One variable DC power supply capable of supplying between 4V and 5.5V at 500mA * One stereo audio source Procedure The MAX13331 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) Plug the headphones into the 3.5mm headphone jack (J1). 2) Ensure that the stereo audio source is turned off. 3) Connect the disabled stereo audio source through the RCA phono jacks (P1 and P2). 4) Ensure that a shunt is installed on jumper JU1. 5) Connect the 4V to 5.5V DC power supply to the VDD and PGND pads. 6) Turn on the DC power supply. 7) Verify that the audio source level is low. 8) Enable the stereo audio source. 9) Verify that the audio source signal is clearly heard from the headphones. Shutdown Control The MAX13331 EV kit provides jumper JU1 to disable the outputs, OUTL and OUTR (see Table 1 for shutdown shunt positions). Both OUTL and OUTR are routed to the headphone jack (J1). Layout Considerations To optimize the audio performance of the MAX13331, it is important to follow these layout guidelines. The MAX13331 EV kit uses two ground planes to minimize switching noise. The two planes are star-connected at one point (JU2 pad). Capacitors C5, C6, C8, C12, C13, and C14 should be placed close to the IC. Refer to the MAX13331 IC data sheet for additional layout considerations. The MAX13331 EV kit is a four-layer design, but it is possible to design the MAX13331 circuit on to a twolayer board. For a two-layer design, optimize the signal and power ground planes by maximizing the area and connecting each plane, as close as possible, to its respective IC pin. Table 1.
