UM10340_5 NXP Semiconductors TFA9879 demonstration PCB The necessary information is given for a quick start-up of the demonstration PCB (see paragraph 2). Paragraph 3 shows the results of the audio characterization and the schematic, BOM and layout is provided in paragraph 4, 5 and 6.
UM10340_5 NXP Semiconductors TFA9879 demonstration PCB 2. Setup demonstration PCB 2.1 Hardware setup Figure 2 is showing the hardware setup of the TFA9879 mono demonstration PCB with screw terminals for connecting the power supply (X3) and the speaker cables (X7).
UM10340_5 NXP Semiconductors TFA9879 demonstration PCB 2.1.3 Speaker dummy load The TFA9879 is a filter-free Class-D amplifier that will directly drive the loudspeaker. For realistic measurement at a filter-free Class-D amplifier a dummy load, consisting out of a resistor (R ) in series with an inductor (L ), should replace the loudspeaker.
UM10340_5 NXP Semiconductors TFA9879 demonstration PCB 2.2 Software setup (GUI) The TFA9879 is controlled via I2C. The Graphic User Interface (GUI) software (including USM drivers), which are supplied by the demonstration PCB, enable easy control of the I2C registers in the TFA9879.
