4. EV-Board PAM8615 EB104AB Description
EB104AB is designed for evaluated PAM8615. PAM8615 is a 32W.Class-D amplifier
which can be configured to BTL Mode.
PAM8615 built in DC volume control range from -40DB to 36DB. The internal synchronize function makes multiple amplifiers
work at the same oscillate frequency, which decrease the interference between amplifiers.

8. External component selection
Input capacitor (C9, C10)
(1) The capacitor and input resistor implement a high pass filter. The corner frequency was determined as below:
Fc=1/(2×Pi×RC)
(2) The bigger input capacitor, the better low frequency response
Power decoupling capacitor (C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C20)
(1) C4, C5, C6 should be 10uF/50V X7R or X5R ceramic
(2) C7, C8, C20 0.1uF/35V ceramic capacitor, place close to the IC
EMI Eliminate Filter (FB1, FB2)
(1) High impedance at high frequency and very low impedance at low frequency
(2) The current rating is higher than 4A
9. PCB layout guideline
(1) All decoupling capacitors should be placed very close to the PAM8615.
(2) Please separate AGND and PGND to obtain the best performance.
Keep the trace short between PAM8615 GND pins and decoupling capacitors.
(3) Keep power line short and thick
(4) Audio input trace should avoid routing through noisy area.
