Product details
Overview
MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP from Analog Devices is a fully assembled evaluation system designed to validate the MAX98360C mono Class D audio amplifier in WLP package. It supports I2S digital audio input, offers five selectable gains (–3dB to 12dB), enables left/right/mono channel selection, and operates from a 2.5V–5.5V single supply with filterless speaker drive capability for rapid prototyping of compact audio endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP datasheet, MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP pinout, MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP application, or MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP equivalent, this kit provides immediate USB-powered evaluation of PCM-driven audio amplification-no external test equipment, custom software, or PCB layout changes required.
Technical Context
The MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP integrates the MAX98360C IC (WLP9 package) with Maxim's Audio Interface Board III (AUDINT3) to deliver a complete USB-to-PCM audio evaluation platform. It routes BCLK, LRCLK, and DIN signals via J3 header and J1 connector, supporting I2S mode per MAX98360C specification.
Power architecture separates VDD (2.5V–5.5V, user-supplied) from VDDIO (1.8V, supplied by AUDINT3 LDO). Gain and channel selection are implemented via physical jumpers (J4, J6–J8), enabling hardware-configurable operation without firmware or register writes.

FAQ
What does MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP evaluate?
MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP evaluates the MAX98360C mono Class D audio amplifier IC in wafer-level package (WLP9). It includes the MAX98360C DEV Board, Audio Interface Board III (AUDINT3), and micro-USB cable. The system validates I2S-mode operation, gain/channel configuration, filterless speaker drive, and USB audio streaming compatibility - all without external test gear.
Does MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP support TDM or left-justified audio formats?
No. MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP is configured specifically for the MAX98360C variant, which supports I2S only. TDM and left-justified modes are exclusive to MAX98360D and MAX98360B respectively. Attempting to force non-I2S formats on this kit will result in no audio output or misaligned data framing.
How is gain set on MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP?
Gain on MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP is set via shunt position on jumper header J4. Five discrete settings are supported: 1–2 = 3dB, 1–3 = 6dB, 1–4 = –3dB, 1–5 = 12dB, and unshunted = 9dB. This hardware-based selection eliminates need for I²C programming and ensures deterministic startup behavior.
Can MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP operate without the AUDINT3 board?
Yes. MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP's DEV Board can be used standalone with external PCM source connected to J3 (BCLK/LRCLK/DIN). However, VDDIO must then be supplied externally (1.2V–VDD), and VDD (2.5V–5.5V) applied at VIN. The AUDINT3 board is required only for USB audio functionality and built-in 1.8V VDDIO regulation.
What speaker load is compatible with MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP?
MAX98360CEVSYS#WLP drives 4Ω to 8Ω speakers directly via FOUTP/FOUTN binding posts, leveraging the MAX98360C's filterless architecture. No external LC output filter is needed. For EMI-sensitive environments with >12-inch speaker cables, optional ferrite bead + 100pF capacitor filtering (FB1/FB2/C3/C4 locations) may be added per schematic guidance.
