User manual for MERUS™ evaluation boards EVAL_AUDIO_MA12070_B and EVAL_AUDIO_MA12070P_B Overview Overview This is an evaluation and demonstration board for MERUS™ audio MA12070 and MA12070P amplifiers. It contains a variety of digital/analog input, output and setup/selection features. It also contains two onboard power supply generators (5 V and 3.3 V buck-converted) so only one external power supply (PVDD) is necessary.

User manual for MERUS™ evaluation boards EVAL_AUDIO_MA12070_B and EVAL_AUDIO_MA12070P_B Measurement methods Measurement methods Setting up a reliable measurement configuration for MA12070 or MA12070P takes a little bit more effort than linear amplifiers and even “regular” switching amplifiers. This is mainly because MA12070 and MA12070P are filterless amplifiers, which means they do not require an external (usually expensive and bulky) LC filter to remove switching residuals.
