Power Requirements
The TPA701 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module can operate
from any voltage between approximately 2.5 V and 5.5 V; however, the
TPA701 amplifier IC on the module is characterized for operation at 3.3 V and
5 V. For best performance (highest output power with lowest distortion), the
module should be operated at approximately 5 V, unless there is a specific
reason for operating it from a lower voltage.
The TI Plug-N-Play Audio Amplifier Evaluation Platform with a voltage
regulator EVM installed on it can provide a regulated V
variety of unregulated V
12 V, including an on-board 9 -V battery. Or, an external regulated power
source can be used to supply V
MSOP evaluation modules installed on it.
The platform is equipped with overvoltage and reverse-polarity supply voltage
input protection in the form of fused crowbar circuits.

Inputs and Outputs
The TI Plug-N-Play Audio Amplifier Evaluation Platform is equipped with
several standard conectors for audio inputs and outputs.
3.3.5.1 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 ) stereo phone jack (J4). Certain
signal conditioning and amplifier EVMs, however, may have additional signal
input connectors mounted on the module circuit board.
The platform audio signal input jacks (J3, J4, and J5) are of the closed-circuit
type, grounding the signal input lines when no plugs are inserted.
3.3.5.2 Outputs
Amplified audio output signals leave the platform through left and right RCA
phono jacks (J7 and J9), left and right pairs of compression connectors for
stripped speaker wires (J8).
