SLOU441 – July 2016 TPA3255EVM This User’s Guide describes the operation of the evaluation module (TPA3255EVM, rev A) for the TPA3255 315-W Stereo/600-W mono PurePath™ Ultra-HD Analog Input Power Stage. The user’s guide also provides design information, which includes schematics, BOM, and PCB layout. For questions and support go to the E2E forums (e2e.ti.com).
Amp designed to allow TPA3255DDV operation with differential or single ended input signals to the EVM with differential inputs yielding the optimal performance. TPA3255EVM is a complete 2-Vrms analog input 2 × 315-W stereo/1 × 600-W mono high-power amplifier ready for evaluation and excellent listening experience.

The TPA3255EVM supports both differential and single-ended inputs. For single-ended inputs, J4 and/or J19 jumpers are set to the SE position, so that the TPA3255EVM uses the NE5532 to convert the single- ended input signal to differential to properly drive the differential inputs of the TPA3255. The input RCA jack, J3, is used to provide INA inputs and RCA jack J14 is used to provide INB inputs.

Using TPA3255EVM in Different Output Configurations www.ti.com Using TPA3255EVM in Different Output Configurations The TPA3255EVM can be configured for four different output operations. The 2.0 BTL configuration is the default set up of the TPA3255EVM described in Section 3.3. The remaining three configurations are 2.1 BTL plus two single-ended (SE) outputs, 0.1 PBTL output, and 4.0 single-ended (SE) outputs.
