Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Speaker Click is based on the MAX9717, a 1.4W mono bridge-tied load (BTL) architecture audio power amplifier with a high-quality audio reproduction from Analog Devices. It delivers 1.4W continuous power into a 4Ω load from a single +5V supply or 350mW continuous power into an 8Ω load while operating from a single +3.3V supply. This device features Maxim’s industry-leading, comprehensive click-and-pop suppression that reduces audible clicks and pops during the Start-Up and Shutdown sequence. Output signal reproduction is possible through the onboard speaker and the headphone jack located on the bottom side of this Click board™. Speaker Click communicates with MCU using two GPIO pins routed on the PWM and INT pins of the
mikroBUS™ socket labeled B/S and PWR. The MAX9717 features a low-power shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current consumption to 10nA. Entering shutdown mode is possible through the PWR pin, which turns off the bias circuitry and forces the amplifier outputs to GND through an internal 20kΩ resistor. Driving the PWR to a low logic state will cause MAX9717 to enter shutdown mode while the high state will perform a normal operation. As mentioned, this Click board™ has a 20mm 4Ω Premium Micro Transducer onboard speaker for sound reproduction. This speaker features a neodymium-iron-boron magnet, a light aluminum cone, and a high-temperature polycarbonate frame with low resonant frequencies and a full-range
bandwidth. Also, the MAX9717 features a headphone sense input pin, labeled as B/S, that senses headphone connection to the device through a 3.5mm jack connector labeled HEADPHONES. This feature mutes the speaker while driving the headphones as a single-ended load. An adjustable potentiometer labeled GAIN adjusts the gain of the MAXS9717‘s internal amplifier. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Flip&Click PIC32MZ is a compact development board designed as a complete solution that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit PIC32MZ microcontroller, the PIC32MZ2048EFH100 from Microchip, four mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, two USB connectors, LED indicators, buttons, debugger/programmer connectors, and two headers compatible with Arduino-UNO pinout. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology,
it allows you to build gadgets with unique functionalities and features quickly. Each part of the Flip&Click PIC32MZ development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition, there is the possibility of choosing the Flip&Click PIC32MZ programming method, using the chipKIT bootloader (Arduino-style development environment) or our USB HID bootloader using mikroC, mikroBasic, and mikroPascal for PIC32. This kit includes a clean and regulated power supply block through the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. All communication
methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, user-configurable buttons, and LED indicators. Flip&Click PIC32MZ development kit allows you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.
2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.
3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

* @brief Speaker Click Example.
*
* # Description
* This library contains API for the Speaker click driver.
* This application controls the operating modes of the
* Speaker click board™.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initialization of GPIO module and log UART.
* After driver initialization, the application performs the default settings.
*
* ## Application Task
* This is an example that shows the use of a Speaker click board™.
* The task of the application consists of
* switching two modes of operation: normal and shutdown modes.
* Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.
