## Description

A compact Class D stereo amplifier breakout based on the Maxim MAX9744. It drives two channels of 4–8 Ω speakers at up to 20 W each, powered from 4.5–14 V DC. With up to 93% efficiency, it runs cool without heatsinks — ideal for portable and battery-powered audio projects. Volume can be controlled via an included 1 kΩ trim pot (analogue) or via I²C commands from a microcontroller with 64 steps of digital volume adjustment. The board includes polarity protection, audio jacks, terminal blocks, and I²C level shifting. Key Features 20 W Stereo Output – 4 Ω speakers, 12 V supply, THD+N = 10% Class D Efficiency – 88–93% typical, no heatsink required Power Supply – 4.5 V to 14 V DC via onboard barrel jack Audio Input – 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, up to 3 Vpp (DC or AC coupled) Dual Volume Control – Analogue (1 kΩ pot included) or I²C digital (64 steps) Max Gain – 29.5 dB Low Distortion – 0.04% THD+N Low Power – 20 mA quiescent, 1 µA in shutdown mode Protection – Short-circuit, thermal overload, and click-and-pop suppression Spread-Spectrum Modulation – Reduces radiated RF emissions from speaker cables Package Contents 1× MAX9744 amplifier breakout (SMD components pre-assembled) 3× 2-pin terminal blocks 1× 3-pin terminal block 1× 470 µF power filter capacitor 1× 1 kΩ trim pot Note: Some soldering is required to attach the terminal blocks and included components. Terminal block colour may vary (blue or black). Resources Assembly & Usage Tutorial
