  • Page 12: Precautions

    Precautions 2.1 Precautions Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum Voltage Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power connected to V power input connector J1, J2, and/or V power 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.
  • Page 13: Quick Start List For Platform

    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 TPA0122 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).

    3.2 The TPA0122 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module The TPA0122 audio power amplifier evaluation module is powered by a TPA0122 stereo power amplifier capable of delivering greater than 2 W of continuous power per channel into 3-Ω loads. The amplifier IC can be operated in either the BTL or single-ended output mode.
  • Page 20: Tpa0122 Evm Schematic Diagram

    0.47 µF 3.2.1 TPA0122 Audio Amplifier IC The TPA0122 audio amplifier IC (Figure 3–4) is a CMOS device intended primarily for bridge-tied load (BTL) operation in battery-powered applications. It is supplied in a very small 24-pin TSSOP thermal surface-mount package and has been designed to operate from low supply voltages (between approximately 4.5 V and 5.5 V).
  • Page 21: Inputs And Gain

    If using differential inputs, line and headphone inputs must be the same. A third input, PC BEEP, is common to both channels. The TPA0122 IC monitors this input when operating in both the active and shutdown modes and automatically switches to this input when a signal is sensed. In computer applications, for example, this allows the normal audio signal (music, sounds, etc.) to be interrupted when there is a need to output a computer beep.

    The differential input stage of the amplifier cancels any noise that appears on both input lines of a channel. To use the TPA0122 EVM with a differential source, connect the positive lead of the audio source to the R LINE–...

    3.3.2 TPA0122 Module Jumper Settings and Switches The TPA0122 EVM is equipped with a pushbutton SPST switch and three jumpers that act as SPST switches to allow module operation to be modified to suit various requirements. In the following discussion, setting a jumper to ON means that a shunt is installed across the two pins of the jumper.

    When S3 is set to the power amplifier position (U2 – U4), the headphone jack is connected to the TPA0122 power amplifier OUT+ output lines. When a plug is inserted into the jack, signals output through J10 are returned to platform ground, requiring single-ended power amplifier operation.
  • Page 28: Mute/Mode And Polarity Control

    Mute (Shutdown)/Mode The TPA0122 EVM is equipped with a shutdown control input pin. When this input is pulled to ground, the TPA0122 amplifier IC on the module enters the shutdown mode and dissipates very little power. While in the shutdown mode, the PC BEEP input is still active.
