MAXREFDES9009

Description

The MAXREFDES9009 is a reference design for a simple, compact, 8-channel digital input audio amplifier, and can deliver up to 14W per channel into an 8Ω load. It is based on the MAX98365, which is a tiny, cost-effective, 14V plug-and-play digital input Class-D amplifier. This design is true plug-and-play and does not require any programming of registers and does not use I2C. Just add power and input signal to get 8-channels of Class-D audio output.
