3-1 Details Details This chapter provides details on the TP A301 IC, the evaluation module, and the steps in the Quick-Start List, additional application information, and a parts list for the TP A301 evaluation module. T opic Page 3.1 Precautions 3 – 2 .
Precautions 3-2 Details 3.1 Precautions Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum V oltage Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power connected to V CC power input connector J1, J2, and/or V DD power input connector J6 are correct.
The TP A301 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module 3-3 Details 3.2 The TP A301 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module The TP A301 audio power amplifier evaluation module is powered by a TP A301 350-.
The TP A301 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module 3-4 Details 3.2.1 TP A301 Audio Amplifier IC The TP A301 audio amplifier IC is a CMOS device intended primarily for bridge- tied load (BTL) operation in battery-powered applications.
The TP A301 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module 3-5 Details In the single-ended mode, the amplifier inside the TP A301 IC that drives the OUT – line still operates and dissipates power even though it is not being used to help drive the load.
Using The TP A301 EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform 3-6 Details 3.3 Using The TP A301 EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform The TP A301 audio amplifier evaluation module was designed to be used with the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform.
Using The TP A301 EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform 3-7 Details 3.3.2 Signal Routing Signal flow on the platform is controlled by two signal routing switches, as shown in Figure 3 – 5.
Using The TP A301 EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform 3-8 Details 3.3.3 Muting The TP A301 EVM is equipped with a mute (shutdown) control input pin. When this input is tied to V DD , the TP A301 amplifier IC on the module shuts down and assumes an ultra-low power mode.
Power Requirements 3-9 Details 3.3.4 Power Requirements The TP A301 audio evaluation module can operate from any voltage between approximately 2.5 V and 5.5 V , however , the TP A301 amplifier IC on the module is characterized for operation at 3.3 V and 5 V .
Inputs and Outputs 3-10 Details 3.3.5 Inputs and Outputs The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform is equipped with several standard conectors for audio inputs and outputs.
Using The TP A301 EVM Stand-Alone 3-1 1 Details 3.4 Using The TP A301 EVM Stand-Alone Using the TP A301 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 range and the isolated OUT+ and OUT – lines for BTL operation re- quirement exists.
