• Set the IOVDD jumper on AC-MB to either 3.3V or 1.8V. • Connect 5V power adapter to barrel jack J21 on TAS2118EVM • Connect USB cable from PC to AC-MB. At this moment, the device is powered up and running, ready to play audio. The evaluation kit works as any other sound card, select the EVM as system playback device and use any software like web browser, media player, and so forth.
J22. This allows flexible supply options for VBAT to use either banana or barrel-jack supply. VBAT side of L1 inductor is always connected to J30. 3.2.1 External PVDD EVM Hardware Configuration This section shows how to set the EVM jumpers to evaluate TAS2118EVM in a External PVDD application for VBAT as depicted in Figure 1-3.

(USB or external). The voltage levels available are 1.2V, 1.8V and 3.3V, and can be selected via the J3 header IOVDD. Default setting for TAS2118EVM operation is 3.3V; 1.2V operation cannot be used for TAS2118EVM. When the motherboard is fully powered and the power supplies from the onboard LDOs are correct, the green POWER LED (D3) turns ON.

Figure 3-6. Power -Supply Distribution of the AC-MB 3.8 4-Wire Measurement of Load TAS2118EVM has been designed such that the dummy load or speaker load connected to the device can be measured very accurately directly from the device pin including board parasitic and connector contact resistance using 4-wire method in digital multimeter.
– Make sure J3-IOVDD on the companion AC-MB board is set to either 3.3V or 1.8V. Please note 1.2V is not supported by TAS2118 and is not be used. – Make sure J54 on TAS2118EVM is open. This is an optional jumper that is only used in special cases when connecting 2 EVMs together as described in Section 3.9.
