EVAL-SSM2380Z

EVAL-SSM2380Z is an evaluation board which is a complete solution for driving two loudspeakers. It includes the SSM2380 amplifier IC and the additional components needed to connect the I2C bus to a personal computer using a universal serial bus (USB) connection. Figure 1 shows the evaluation board in a simple configuration with USB and power and audio input connections. The SSM2380 features an I2C interface with many useful settings. Using the I2C control interface, the gain of the SSM2380 can be selected from any of 47 values between 1dB and 24dB. Other features available when using the I2C interface include independent left/right channel shutdown, EMI emission control modes, automatic level control (ALC), and stereo-to-mono input mixing.
