    The platform switch and jumper settings shown in Table 2–1 are typical for the TPA321 EVM. These settings cause the TPA321 to mute when a plug is in- serted into platform headphone jack J10. Table 2–1. Typical TI Plug-N-Play Platform Jumper and Switch Settings for the TPA321...
  • 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 on-board soldered-in fuses and cause other damage to the platform, installed evaluation modules, and/or the power source.
