1-4 Introduction
Chapter 2 Quick Start The steps in this chapter can be followed to quickly prepare the TPA112 MSOP audio amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA112 MSOP 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.
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 TPA112 MSOP 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 and details appear in Chapter 3. 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 TPA112 MSOP EVM stand-alone or to connect it into existing circuits or equipment. Connections to the TPA112 MSOP 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 (Figure 2–2). Details appear in Chapter 3. Figure 2–2.
Chapter 3 Details This chapter provides details on the TPA112 IC, the evaluation module, the steps in the Quick-Start List, additional application information, and a parts list for the TPA112 MSOP evaluation module.

Precautions 3.1 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.
The TPA112 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module 3.2 The TPA112 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module The TPA112 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module is powered by a TPA112 150-mW stereo audio amplifier IC. It can drive either line-level outputs, 32-Ω headphones, or 8-Ω speakers. A single-supply operational amplifier (TLV2211) on the module provides a buffered midpoint voltage to properly bias the noninverting inputs of the TPA112 amplifier IC.
The TPA112 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module 3.2.1 TPA112 Audio Amplifier IC The TPA112 audio amplifier IC is a CMOS device intended primarily for high-performance line-level output, headphone driver, and small speaker applications. It is supplied in both a SOIC and a very small surface-mount MSOP package and has been designed to operate from low supply voltages (between approximately 2.5 V and 5.5 V) and to deliver up to approximately 150 mW into 8-Ω speakers.
The TPA112 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module 3.2.2 Module Gain The TPA112 MSOP evaluation module has a set gain of 4 (inverting) for each channel. However, the gain can be adjusted to a maximum of approximately 10 (inverting) by changing the value of feedback resistors (R8 and R10, Figure 3–3). Use the following equation to determine the value of RF: Gain + – RR F I The TPA112 amplifier IC, like most other amplifiers, exhibits its best distortion and noise performance at lower gain levels.
Using The TPA112 MSOP EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform 3.3 Using The TPA112 MSOP EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform The TPA112 MSOP audio amplifier evaluation module is designed for use with the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform. It simply plugs into socket U5. The following paragraphs provide additional details for using the TPA112 EVM with the platform. 3.3.
Using The TPA112 MSOP EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform 3.3.2 Signal Routing Signal flow on the platform is controlled by two signal routing switches, as shown in Figure 3 – 5. Figure 3–5.
Using The TPA112 MSOP EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform 3.3.3 Power Requirements The TPA112 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module can operate from a VDD voltage between approximately 2.5 V and 5.5 V. The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform with a voltage regulator EVM installed on it can provide a regulated 3.3-V or 5-V VDD supply from a wide variety of unregulated VCC voltage inputs between approximately 5.5 V and 12 V, including an onboard 9 -V battery.
Using The TPA112 MSOP EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform 3.3.4 Inputs and Outputs The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform is equipped with several standard conectors for audio inputs and outputs. 3.3.4.1 Inputs In most cases, audio signals enter the platform through either a pair of RCA phono jacks (J3 and J5) or a miniature (1/8″) stereo phone jack (J4).
Using The TPA112 MSOP EVM Stand-Alone 3.4 Using The TPA112 MSOP EVM Stand-Alone Using the TPA112 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module stand-alone is much the same as using it with the platform. The same 2.5-V to 5.5-V power supply requirement exists. 3.4.1 TPA112 MSOP EVM Connected as a Stereo Headphone Amplifier Figure 3–7.
