EVB_RT9118GQW

Share
ACTIVE

The RT9118 is a 10W per channel, high efficiency Class D stereo audio amplifier for driving bridge tied load (BTL) speakers. The RT9118 can drive stereo speakers with load as low as 4Ω. Its high efficiency eliminates the need for an extra heat sink when playing music. The gain of the amplifier can be controlled by gain select pins. The outputs are fully protected against shorts to GND, PVCC, and output to output with an auto recovery feature and monitored output.

Purpose

The RT9118 is a Audio Amplifier the input voltage range from 8V to 17V. This document explains the function and use of the RT9118 evaluation board (EVB), and provides information to enable operation, modification of the evaluation board and circuit to suit individual requirements.


Introduction

General Product Information

The RT9118 is a 10W per channel, high efficiency Class D stereo audio amplifier for driving bridge tied load (BTL) speakers. The RT9118 can drive stereo speakers with load as low as 4Ω. Its high efficiency eliminates the need for an extra heat sink when playing music. The gain of the amplifier can be controlled by gain select pins. The outputs are fully protected against shorts to GND, PVCC, and output to output with an auto recovery feature and monitored output.

Power-up & Measurement Procedure

1. Connect input power supply (8V < PVCC < 17V) and ground to PVCC and GND pins respectively.

2. Connect input power supply (HPVDD = 5V) and ground to HPVDD and GND pins respectively.

3. The 1X3 Header (GAIN) is the Gain setting. (High = 32dB, Low = 26dB).

4. The 1X2 Header (5W, 10W, MAX) is the Plimit setting. (Short = Enable, Open = Disable).

5. The 1X3 Header (JD) is the JD setting. (High = HP mode, Low = SPK mode).

6. Connect stereo analog source input to IN_L (L_CH Input), IN_R (R_CH Input) RCA Jack.

7. Connect speaker to the GP1 (P_L), GP2 (N_L), GP3 (P_R), GP4 (N_R).

8. Connect headphone to the GP5 (HPL), GP8 (HPR).

9. The 1X3 Header (EN) is the Enable controlled. (High = Enable, Low = Disable).
