channel into 4- loads using a single +5 V supply.
Differential audio inputs can easily be connected
through the J10, J20, J30, and J40 headers. If desired,
the gain can be adjusted through the optional input
resistors.
Component landings are available for an optional EMI
output filter.
The CDB35L00-X4 can be configured to evaluate the

1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The CDB35L00-X4 demonstration board is an practical means for evaluating the CS35L00 2.7 W Hybrid Class-D
amplifier with low idle current consumption. A differential mono analog input signal interface is provided for each
device. Optional input gain and output filtering component pl aceholders are provided for easy modification to custom
tune the CS35L00 for the user’s specific system requirements.
1.1 CS35L00 Hybrid Class-D Amplifier
The CS35L00 Hybrid Class-D amplifier is a 2.7 W mono, full-bridge, closed-loop, audio amplif ier availa ble
in a 10-pin, 3 mm x 3 mm, DFN package. A complete description of the CS35L00 is included in the CS35L00
product data sheet.
1.2 Power Supply
A single +2.5 to +5.5 VDC power supply is required to power the CDB35L00-X4. The supply must be capable of delivering sufficient current for the intended power output. The supply provides power to each of the
four CS35L00 amplifiers. The power supp ly connection to the board is provid ed by the header J1. The positive terminal is labeled VBATT. The ground terminal is labeled GND.
1.3 Operational Modes
The CS35L00 device has 4 different operational modes. Each of the 4 operational modes requires different
board configuration as described in Section 1.3.1 and Section 1.3.1.1. The operational modes of the
CS35L00 are listed below. More information on the specifics of each ope ra tiona l mod e can b e found in th e
CS35L00 product datasheet.
• SD: Standard Class-D Mode
• FSD: Reduced Frequency Standard Class-D Mode
• HD: Hybrid Class-D Mode
• FHD: Reduced Frequency Hybrid Class-D Mode
The CDB35L00-X4 demonstration board schematic is shown in Figure 4 on page 9.
1.3.1 Operational Mode Control
Using a combination of the S1 switch and the hybrid control resistors, as described in Section 1.3.1.1,
allows the CDB35L00-X4 to be configured in all 4 of the operational modes listed in Section 1.3.
Each CS35L00’s MODE pin on the CDB35L00-X4
board is connected to the S1 switch labeled MODE as
shown in Figure 4 on page 9. The MODE pin controls
whether all four of the CS35L00 devices on the
CDB35L00-X4 board are operating in one of the reduced frequency modes (FSD or FHD) or in one of the
higher frequency modes (SD or HD).
Table 1 on page 3 and Table 3 on page 5 show the S1 switch-controlled configuration options on the
CDB35L00-X4 board. More configuration options are available by removing or repopula ting 0 resistors
as described in Section 1.4.

Note: In order to avoid transient audio signals, the CS 35L00 devices sh ould be shutdown either via the
S1 switch or by removing power when the operational mode is being changed.

1.3.1.1 Hybrid Control Resistor Configuration
Figure 1. Hybrid Control Resistors
Each CS35L00 device has a hybrid control resistor. When
the hybrid control resistor for each CS35L00 is populated,
it connects the LFILT+ pin to VBATT and enables the
Standard Class-D functionality (SD or FSD modes) for the
corresponding device. When the hybrid control resistor
for each CS35L00 is not populated, LFILT+ is floating,
and the Hybrid Class-D functionality (HD or FHD modes)
is enabled.
The hybrid control resistors (R13, R23, R33, R43) are located on the bottom side of the board adjacent to the
LFILT+ decoupling capacitor and are highlighted in blue
in Figure 1.
A combination of the hybrid control resistors and the S1
MODE switch allow the CS35L00 devices (U1-U4) on the
CDB35L00-X4 board to be configured in all 4 of the op erational modes. There is no requirement to have the all
four of the CS35L00 devices configured in the same
mode. Each device can be configured to the user’s requirements. Table 2 lists the configuration options available using the hybrid control resistors and the S1 MODE
switch.

1.4 Shutdown Control
The S1 switch implements shutdown control for the four CS35L00 devices on the CDB35L00-X4. SD1-2
controls the shutdown for U1 and U2. SD3-4 contro ls the shu tdown for U3 and U4 as shown in Table 3 and
on the schematic in Figure 4 on page 9.

R23: VBATT U2 = FSD U2 = SD
R23: Removed U2 = FHD U2 = HD
R33: VBATT U3 = FSD U3 = SD
R33: Removed U3 = FHD U3 = HD
R43: VBATT U4 = FSD U4 = SD
