. PAM8406 Demo Board Description PAM8406 demo board is design for PAM8406 demo and evaluation, targeted to be used in providing a simple and convenient evaluation environment for the PAM8406. Requires parts, potentiometer for standard RCA jacks for audio inputs, pin jacks for power supply and signal outputs, low-pass RC output filter for each channel, etc. on the board make it easy to be evaluated. 4.

6. PCB Layout Guidelines Grounding () Use plane grounding or separate grounds () Do not use one line connecting power GND and analog GND () Output noise grounds must tie to system ground at the power in exclusively. (4) Signal currents for the inputs need to be returned to quite ground. This ground only ties to the signal components and the GND pin. Others () The power supply de coupling capacitors need to place very close to the PAM8406 s pins. () The output route should be far away from audio input route. 7. PCB Layout Example Top Layer Figure
