    User manual for MA evaluation boards EVAL_AUDIO_MA2304DNS_B and EVAL_AUDIO_MA2304PNS_B Overview Overview The demonstration board EVAL_AUDIO_MA2304xNS_B is an evaluation and demonstration board for MERUS™ audio’s MA2304DNS and MA2304PNS amplifiers. It contains digital input/output (I/O) and a variety of output and setup/selection features. It also contains one onboard buck power supply generator (1.8 V/3.3 V selectable) so only one external power supply (PVDD) is necessary.

  • Page 12: Measurement Methods

    User manual for MA evaluation boards EVAL_AUDIO_MA2304DNS_B and EVAL_AUDIO_MA2304PNS_B Measurement methods Measurement methods Setting up a reliable measurement configuration for the MA2304DNS or the MA2304PNS takes a little more effort than for linear amplifiers, and even “regular” switching amplifiers. This is mainly because the MA2304xNS is a filterless amplifier, which means it does not require an external (usually expensive and bulky) LC filter to remove switching residuals.
