Running Title—Attribute Reference FCC Warning This equipment is intended for use in a laboratory test environment only. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to subpart J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference.
Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the Texas Instruments TPA0252 audio amplifier evaluation module (SLOP333). It includes a list of EVM features, a brief description of the module illustrated with a pictorial diagram, and a list of EVM specifications.
Feature Highlights 1.1 Feature Highlights The TI TPA0252 audio amplifier evaluation module and the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform include the following features: TPA0252 stereo 2-W audio power amplifier evaluation module Internal depop circuitry to minimize transients in outputs...
1.2 Description The TPA0252 stereo 2-W audio amplifier evaluation platform is a complete, 2 W per channel stereo audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA0252 stereo 2-W audio power amplifier IC along with a small number of other parts mounted on a circuit board that measures approximately 2 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches (see Figure 1–1).
Quick start lists in this chapter contain steps that can be followed to quickly prepare the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform for use with the TPA0252 audio amplifier EVM, or to connect the TPA0252 audio amplifier EVM for stand-alone operation.
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.
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 TPA0252 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).

If the PCBEEP input is not being used, set jumper J4 to ON.
Quick Start List for Stand-Alone 2.3 Quick Start List for Stand-Alone Follow these steps to use the TPA0252 EVM stand-alone or when connecting it into existing circuits or equipment. Connections to the TPA0252 module header pins can be made via individual sockets, wire-wrapping, or soldering to the pins, either on the top or the bottom of the module circuit board.
