SLOU011) provides detailed information on the evaluation platform and its use with TI audio evaluation modules. TPA0233 2-W Mono Audio Power Amplifier With Headphone Drive (literature number SLOS278) This is the data sheet for the TPA0233 audio amplifier integrated circuit.
This chapter provides an overview of the Texas Instruments (TI) TPA0233 audio amplifier evaluation module (SLOP268). 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 TPA0233 audio amplifier evaluation module and the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform include the following features: TPA0233 mono 2-W audio power amplifier with stereo headphone drive evaluation module Single channel, bridge-tied load (BTL) or dual-channel single-ended...
The TPA0233 audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete 2-watt mono audio power amplifier with stereo headphone drive. It consists of the TI TPA0233 mono 2-W audio power amplifier IC along with a small number of other parts mounted on a circuit board that measures approximately 2 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches (Figure 1–1).
Quick start lists in this chapter contain steps that can be followed to quickly prepare the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform for use with the TPA0233 audio amplifier EVM, or to connect the TPA0233 audio amplifier EVM for stand-alone operation.
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.
1) Ensure that all external power sources are set to OFF and that the platform power switch S1 is set to OFF. 2) Install a TPA0233 module in platform socket U2, taking care to align the module pins correctly. 3) Use switch S2 to select or bypass the signal conditioning EVM (U1).
2.3 Quick Start List for Stand-Alone Follow these steps to use the TPA0233 EVM stand-alone or when connecting it into existing circuits or equipment. Connections to the TPA0233 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.
