This chapter provides an overview of the Texas Instruments (TI) TPA6030A4 audio amplifier evaluation module (SLOP365). It includes a list of EVM features, a brief illustrated description of the module, and a list of EVM specifications. Topic Feature Highlights ..........
Feature Highlights 1.1 Feature Highlights The TI TPA6030A4 audio amplifier evaluation module and the TI Plug-N-Play audio amplifier evaluation platform include the following features: TPA6030A4 3-W stereo audio power amplifier evaluation module Fully differential operation and internal depop circuitry to minimize...
The platform has room for a single TPA6030A4 evaluation module and is a convenient vehicle for demonstrating TI’s audio power amplifier and related evaluation modules. The EVM simply plugs into the platform, which...
Special Notes Regarding the Data Sheet 1.4 Special Notes Regarding the Data Sheet The TPA6036A4EVM may have markings not consistent with the data sheet. Some EVMs have an incorrect supply voltage marked on them. The correct supply range is 7 V to 15 V, not 5 V to 15 V. The EVM and this user’s guide refer to the two input pins as HP and LINE, and refer to the control pin as HP/LINE.
SE/BTL pin to automatically switch to SE output mode when a headphone is inserted into the headphone jack. The SE/BTL pin on the TPA6030A4 is designed to switch high when the voltage applied to the pin meets or exceeds 0.8 V , requiring a minimum of 5.6 V when the power...
Table 2–1. Typical TI Plug-N-Play Platform Jumper and Switch Settings for the TPA6030A4 P-N-P Platform Notes: 1) X = Don’t care 2) ON = Shunt installed 3) OFF = Open 4) Set S2 to ON when signal conditioning board is installed in U1; set S2 to OFF when no signal conditioning board is installed.
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 TPA6030A4 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 TPA6030A4EVM stand-alone or when connecting it to existing circuits or equipment. Connections to the TPA6030A4 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.

10) SHUTDOWN: A low voltage applied to this pin shuts down the amplifier IC on the module; a high voltage or float on this pin allows normal operation. Refer to the TPA6030A4 data sheet for trip level information. Power-Up 11) Verify correct voltage and input polarity and set the external power supply to ON.
