This chapter provides an overview of the Texas Instruments (TI) TPA032D03 mono class-D audio power amplifier evaluation module (SLOP310). It includes a list of EVM features, a brief description of the module illustrated with a pictorial diagram, and a list of EVM specifications.
Feature Highlights 1.1 Feature Highlights The TI TPA032D03 mono class-D audio power amplifier evaluation module and the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform include the following features: TPA032D03 Mono Class-D Audio Power Amplifier with Stereo Head- phone Amplifier Evaluation Module Internal depop circuitry to greatly reduce turn-on transients in outputs Single channel, class D bridge-tied load (BTL) only operation 12 V operation...
1.2 Description The TPA032D03 mono class-D audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete, 10-W mono audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA032D03 mono class-D audio power amplifier IC along with a small number of other parts mounted on a circuit board that measures approximately 2 ¾...
TPA032D03 Class-D EVM Specifications Single in-line header pins extend from the underside of the module circuit board to allow the EVM to either be plugged into the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform, or to be wired directly into existing circuits and equipment when used stand-alone.
Follow the steps in this chapter to quickly prepare the TPA032D03 mono class-D audio amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA032D03 class-D 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 V 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.
2.2 Quick Start List for Platform Follow these steps when using the TPA032D03 class-D 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 and platform power switch S1 are set to OFF .

Quick Start List for Stand-Alone 2.3 Quick Start List for Stand-Alone Follow these steps to use the TPA032D03 class-D EVM stand-alone or to connect it into existing circuits or equipment. Connections to the TPA032D03 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.

Precautions 3.1 Precautions Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum Voltage Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power connected to V 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.
3.2 Plug-N-Play Platform Power Requirements and Connections The TPA032D03 mono class-D audio power amplifier evaluation module is designed to operate from a supply voltage between 9 V and 14 V. For best performance, the module should be operated at 12 V. The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform provides several options for powering the TPA032D03 class-D EVM.
Plug-N-Play Platform Inputs and Outputs 3.3 Plug-N-Play Platform Inputs and Outputs The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform is equipped with several standard conectors for audio inputs and outputs. 3.3.1 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 ) mono phone jack (J4).
3.4 Control and Indicator Circuits Three main control circuits are provided with the TPA032D03. The mute circuit grounds the output of the active amplifier, the mode circuit selects between the class-D amplifier and the headphone amplifier, and the shutdown circuit places the entire device into a power-saving sleep mode to minimize current consumption.
Plug-N-Play Platform Inputs and Outputs 3.6 Module Switches The TPA032D03 mono class-D audio amplifier evaluation module is equipped with two pushbutton switches that allow the module shutdown and mute functions to be manually activated. 3.6.1 S1 — Shutdown Switch To have the module amplifier IC enter the shutdown mode, press the Shutdown switch (S2) on the module.
3.7 Using The TPA032D03 Class-D EVM Stand-Alone Using the TPA032D03 mono class-D audio power amplifier evaluation module stand-alone is much the same as using it with the platform. The same 9-V to 14-V power supply range and the isolated OUT+ and OUT– lines for BTL operation requirements exist.
Using The TPA032D03 Class-D EVM Stand-Alone 3.7.2 Input Connections The class-D amplifier input signals can be connected in either of two ways: differential or single-ended. For differential operation, connect the signal source to the positive and negative inputs (IN+ and IN– module pins). For single-ended operation, the input signal line should be connected to the IN+ module pin and the signal source ground wire should be connected to the IN–...
