Chapter 2 Quick Start The steps in this chapter can be followed to quickly prepare the TPA0232 audio amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA0232 with the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform is a quick and easy way to connect power, signal and control inputs, and signal outputs to the EVM using standard connectors. -
Page 14: 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 15: 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 TPA0232 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 TPA0232 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module The TPA0232 audio power amplifier evaluation module is powered by a TPA0232 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. -

0.47 µF 3.2.1 TPA0232 Audio Amplifier IC The TPA0232 audio amplifier IC (seeFigure 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 23: 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 TPA0232 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. -

3.3.2 TPA0232 Module Jumper Settings and Switches The TPA0232 EVM is equipped with a pushbutton SPST switch and a jumper that acts as an SPST switch 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. -

S2 is OFF, a pulldown resistor on the module holds the IC output mode control input pin low, keeping the IC in the BTL output mode. The TPA0232 amplifier IC has two separate inputs for each channel. An internal multiplexor selects which input will be connected to the amplifier based on the state of the SE/BTL pin on the IC. -
Page 29: Platform Signal Routing And Outputs
When S3 is set to the power amplifier position (U2 – U4), the headphone jack is connected to the TPA0232 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 30: Mute/Mode And Polarity Control
Mute (Shutdown)/Mode The TPA0232 EVM is equipped with a shutdown control input pin. When this input is pulled to ground, the TPA0232 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. - Page 31 JP6. When JP6 is set to mute, use the following JP8 settings for the TPA0232: To shut down the TPA0232 amplifier module when a plug is inserted into the headphone jack, jumper JP8 to Lo (this is the typical setting).
