Quick Start Recommended Equipment Before beginning, the following equipment is needed: * 2.7V to 5.5V power supply or battery able to deliver 1.5A 6) Connect the audio source to IN+/IN- for differential audio source and to IN+ for single-ended audio input source. 7) Set JU1 to select a differential or single-ended input (JU2 and JU3 must be removed when using a single-ended input). 8) Set JU7 to IN1. 9) Connect the power-supply positive terminal to the IN1 pad. * Audio source (e.g., CD player, MP3 player, etc.) 10) Connect the power-supply negative terminal to the GND1 pad. * 4/8 speaker 11) Turn on the power supply and the audio source. Procedure 12) Press switch S2 once. The MAX8678 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. 13) Verify that the white LEDs are dimly lit. 1) Preset the power supply to between 2.7V and 5.5V. 16) Press switch S4 to turn on the audio amp to the minimum volume. 2) Turn off the power supply. Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. 14) Repeatedly press switch S2 to increase the LED brightness. 15) Press switch S1 to run the LED demo. 17) Repeatedly press switch S4 to increase the volume in 3dB steps.

The pulse generator outputs the serial-pulse signals for ENLED and ENAMP. LED D6 indicates when the LED driver is active and LED D5 indicates when the audio amplifier is active. Five pushbutton switches (S1-S5) are used to set the LED brightness and amplifier gain, as shown in Table 2. The pulse generator is powered from either IN1 or IN2. To power from IN1, connect pins 1-2 of JU7. This powers the EV kit from the same supply as the MAX8678, allowing the EV kit to operate from a single supply. To power the pulse generator from a separate supply, connect pins 2-3 of JU7 and connect the supply from IN2 to GND2. This is useful when evaluating the quiescent current of the MAX8678. Using External Pulse Generators To use external pulse generators to control ENLED and ENAMP, disconnect ENLED and ENAMP from the onboard pulse generator by removing the shunts from JU4 and JU5. Remove the shunt from JU7 to disconnect power from the on-board pulse generator. The signals from the external pulse generators are connected to the pads labeled ENLED and ENAMP. For information on the required serial-pulse signal, refer to the MAX8678 IC data sheet. LED Driver Using the on-board pulse generator, press S2 to increase LED brightness or press S3 to decrease brightness. There are 31 brightness settings and an off setting. Refer to the MAX8678 IC data sheet for details. Pressing S1 starts the LED demo, which cycles through a preset sequence of dimming and flashing. Press S2 or S3 to cancel the demo. The power-up default setting is off. Note that the LEDs might flash briefly when power is first applied, due to the pulse-generator circuit powering up. Evaluating with Fewer than Four LEDs To use fewer than four LEDs, connect the square pad next to any unused LEDs to the IN1 pad. Using External LEDs To connect external LEDs to the MAX8678 EV kit, cut the trace shorting JU6. Connect the anodes of all the external LEDs to the IN1 pad. Connect each cathode to one of the LED outputs (square pads next to D1-D4). If fewer than four LEDs are used, connect any unused LED output to IN1. Audio Amplifier Using the on-board pulse generator, press S4 to increase the amplifier gain or S5 to reduce the gain. The gain up/down buttons cycle through off and -9dB to +18dB in 3dB steps. The power-up default setting is off. Input Filter Capacitors The EV kit has 1F input filter capacitors installed. To evaluate without the filter capacitors, short the pins of JU2 and JU3. If the input bias voltage is out of the MAX8678's common-mode input-voltage range, these jumpers must be open. Differential or Single-Ended Input JU1 selects between differential or single-ended inputs. For a differential input, connect the input to the IN+ and IN- pads. For a single-ended input, connect the input to IN+ with the signal ground connected to GND1. When using a single-ended input, the input filter capacitors must be used (JU2 and JU3 are open). Speaker Output The MAX8678 EV kit is capable of driving a speaker with 4 or greater impedance. Connect the speaker across the OUT+ and OUT- pads. Table 2. Pulse-Generator Controls PUSHBUTTON FUNCTION S1 Used to activate the LED demo. The MAX8678 EV kit changes the brightness of LED1-LED4 in a predefined sequence. Press S2 or S3 to stop the demo. S2 Used to increase the brightness of LED1-LED4. When maximum brightness is reached, an additional press of S2 forces the MAX8678 to enter power-down mode for the LEDs. S3 Used to decrease the brightness of LED1-LED4. When minimum brightness is reached, an additional press of S3 turns off the MAX8678 LEDs. Pressing S3 when the LEDs are off turns the LEDs on at full brightness. S4 Used to increase gain of the audio amplifier. When maximum gain is reached, an additional press of S4 turns off the audio amplifier. Pressing S4 when the audio amplifier is off turns the amplifier on at minimum gain. S5 Used to decrease gain of the audio amplifier. When minimum gain is reached, an additional press of S3 turns off the audio amplifier. Pressing S5 when the audio amplifier is off turns the amplifier on at maximum gain. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3 Evaluates: MAX8678 Detailed Description Evaluates: MAX8678 MAX8678 Evaluation Kit JU6 C5 1F 15 C4 1F 14 C+ NEG C- TP1 IN ENLED GND1 NEG LED1 IN1 1 C6 4.7F 2 TP2 IN LED2 GND 16 ENLED D1 9 U1 MAX8678 D2 10 TP3 JU4 ENLED NEG 13 LED3 D3 11 TP4 R1 470k ENAMP 5 JU5 ENAMP IN+ 8 R2 470k C3 0.1F A+ OUT+ JU3 4 D4 12 ENAMP BIAS 3 C2 1F LED4 OUT- 6 7 OUT+ OUT+ AEP C1 1F JU2 NEG IN1 2 3 JU1 Figure 1.
