It is intended for Raspberry Pi, Arduino Zero, and any other microcontroller or microcomputer with I2S audio output. The module takes an I2S audio signal and provides amplified output, so it can be used in small audio projects where a compact amplifier board is needed. With a 5V power supply, the output power is 3.2W into 4Ω at 10% THD, or 1.8W into 8Ω at 10% THD. The board supports I2S sampling rates from 8kHz to 96kHz and does not require an MCLK signal. It includes click and pop suppression, five-pin optional gain settings, and hot shutdown protection. It is supplied as an assembly and testing tap board with a small optional head and a 3.5mm wiring board; if connectors and wiring boards are required, some welding is required. The packing list includes one audio amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"MAX98357A I2S audio amplifier module for Raspberry Pi and Arduino Zero with 5V power and 3W output\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US10\/6198\/2025-10-31\/original-image\/1723879834125471744.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module centres on the MAX98357A amplifier IC and is built as an assembly and testing tap board.
