Feature Highlights 1.1 Feature Highlights The TI TPA6203A1 audio amplifier evaluation module and the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform include the following features: - TPA6203A1 Low-Voltage Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module J 2 mm x 2 mm MicroStar Junior BGA J Fully differential amplifier J Single channel, bridge-tied load (BTL) J 2.5-V and 5.5-V operation J 1.
Description 1.2 Description The TPA6203A1 audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete, low-power single-channel audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA6203A1 1.25-W low-voltage audio power amplifier IC in a very small MicroStar Junior BGA package, along with a small number of other parts mounted on a circuit board that is approximately one and a quarter inches square (see Figure 1–1). Figure 1–1.
TPA6203A1 EVM Specifications related evaluation modules. The EVMs simply plug into the platform, which automatically provides power to the modules, interconnects them correctly, and connects them to a versatile array of standard audio input and output jacks and connectors. Easy-to-use configuration controls allow the platform and EVMs to quickly model many possible end-equipment configurations. There is nothing to build, nothing to solder, and nothing but the speakers included with the platform to hook up.
Chapter 2 Operation Follow the steps in this chapter to prepare the TPA6203A1 audio amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA6203A1 EVM with the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform is a quick and easy way to connect power, signal and control inputs, and signal outputs to the EVM, using standard connectors. However, the audio amplifier evaluation module can be used stand-alone by making connections directly to the module pins, and it can be wired directly into existing circuits or equipment.
Precautions 2.1 Precautions Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum Voltage Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power connected to VCC power input connector J1, J2, and/or VDD power input connector J6 are correct. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity power applied to these terminals can open onboard soldered-in fuses and cause other damage to the platform, installed evaluation modules, and/or the power source.
Quick Start List for Platform 2.2 Quick Start List for Platform Follow these steps when using the TPA6203A1 EVM with the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform (see the platform user’s guide, SLOU011, for additional details). Numbered callouts for selected steps are shown in Figure 2–1. - Platform preparations 1) Ensure that all external power sources are set to off and that the platform power switch S1 is set to off.
Quick Start List for Stand-Alone 2.3 Quick Start List for Stand-Alone Follow these steps to use the TPA6203A1 EVM stand-alone or when connecting it into existing circuits or equipment. Connections to the TPA6203A1 module header pins can be made via individual sockets, wire-wrapping, or soldering to the pins, either on the top or the bottom of the module circuit board. Numbered callouts for selected steps are shown in Figure 2–2. Figure 2–2.
Quick Start List for Stand-Alone 5) Connect the SHUTDOWN pin through a normally open switch to GND. 6) Connect an 8-Ω–32-Ω speaker to the module OUT+ and OUT– pins. - Power Up 7) Verify correct voltage and input polarity and set the external power supply to on. The EVM begins operation. 8) Adjust the signal source level as needed.
