Evaluation board for FDA803S and FDA903S power amplifiers Introduction This document describes how to use the evaluation board in order to check FDA803S and FDA903S device’s performance. For any other information and deeper details, refer to the FDA803S and FDA903S datasheets.
UM2999 Ordering information Ordering information The board can only be ordered with the FDA903S mounted on it. The ordering information is shown in Table Table 1. Ordering information Order code Device mounted on the board EVAL-FDA903S-SA FDA903S UM2999 - Rev 1 page 2/21...
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use as ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by ST Microelectronics to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. People handling the product(s) must have electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards.
Board description The board features a single channel Class-D amplifier able to deliver up to 10 W (14.4 V at 4 Ω), based on the FDA903S (or FDA803S) and is intended to demonstrate the device capabilities. Figure 1. Top view Figure 2.
UM2999 Board connection Board connection The board can be connected directly to other ST modules such as the Extend Board Mini A2 and MiniA2 via connector J10. Figure 3. FDA903S Demo SA board + Extend board MiniA2 + Mini A2 board...
UM2999 Board options 3.1.1 Connectors and connections Power supply The amplifier power supply (VCC) with a voltage value between 3.3 V and 18 V can be connected to the J5 terminal as shown by the markings on the board. Outputs The amplifier outputs are connected to the J1 terminals.
S slave, so the clock must be provided by the signal source) Load the device file (.dev) provided by ST Load the default register setting file (.cfg), if available. If no .cfg file is available, the configuration set in the .dev file is applied.
Attention: It is not allowed to supply the VCC power line of the FDA803S Demo SA from the MiniA2 connector (VBAT) side.Consequently, the 3 resistors (R12, R13, R146) must not all be mounted at same time. UM2999 - Rev 1...
GUI setup GUI setup • Unzip the device file (“Mini A2 FDA803S-*.zip” or “Mini A2 FDA903S-*.zip”) in the GUI installation folder “.\AccordoGUIFDAXXX\Devices\”. It includes the amplifier’s specific registers description (FDA803S.dev or FDA903S.dev) and if available, the configuration file (registers best settings, FDAx03S_I2Cbest_Setting.cfg).
UM2999 Device setup for playback Device setup for playback • Turn the device on with an I S clock present: – Click the buttons “channel conf.” followed by “Write all“ to apply the settings loaded from the “FDAx03S_I2Cbest_Setting.cfg” file; – Click the “PLAY”...
