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
Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board is a fully integrated 32-bit development platform featuring the high-performance PIC32MZ EF Series (PIC32MZ2048EFM) that has a 2MB Flash, 512KB RAM, integrated FPU, Crypto accelerator, and excellent connectivity options. It includes an integrated programmer and debugger, requiring no additional hardware. Users can expand
functionality through MIKROE mikroBUS™ Click™ adapter boards, add Ethernet connectivity with the Microchip PHY daughter board, add WiFi connectivity capability using the Microchip expansions boards, and add audio input and output capability with Microchip audio daughter boards. These boards are fully integrated into PIC32’s powerful software framework, MPLAB Harmony,
which provides a flexible and modular interface to application development a rich set of inter-operable software stacks (TCP-IP, USB), and easy-to-use features. The Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board offers expansion capabilities making it an excellent choice for a rapid prototyping board in Connectivity, IOT, and general-purpose applications.

* @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.
