TPA032D03 Class-D EVM Specifications

Introduction
Single in-line header pins extend from the underside of the module circuit
board to allow the EVM to either be plugged into the TI plug-n-play audio
amplifier evaluation platform, or to be wired directly into existing circuits and
equipment when used stand-alone.
TheplatformhasroomforasingleTPA032D03class-Devaluationmoduleand
is a convenient vehicle for demonstrating TI’s audio power amplifier and
related evaluation modules. The EVM simply plugs into the platform, which
automatically provides power to the modules, interconnects them correctly,
andconnectsthemtoaversatilearrayofstandardaudioinputandoutputjacks
and connectors. Easy-to-use configuration controls allow the platform and
EVMs to quickly model many possible end-equipment configurations.
There is nothing to build, nothing to solder, and nothing but the speakers
included with the platform to hook up.

Quick Start
Quick Start
Follow the steps in this chapter to quickly prepare the TPA032D03 mono
class-DaudioamplifierEVMfor use.UsingtheTPA032D03class-DEVMwith
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. However, the audio amplifier evaluation module
can be used stand-alone by making connections directly to the module pins,
and it can be wired directly into existing circuits or equipment.

Quick Start
2.1 Precautions
Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum Voltage
Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power
connected to VCC power input connector J1, J2, and/or VDD 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.
Inserting or Removing EVM Boards
Donotinsertorremove EVM boards with powerapplied—damage
to the EVM board, the platform, or both may result.

3.1 Precautions
Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum Voltage
Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power
connected to VCC power input connector J1, J2, and/or VDD 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.
Inserting or Removing EVM Boards
Donotinsertorremove EVM boards with powerapplied—damage
to the EVM board, the platform, or both may result.

3.2 Plug-N-Play Platform Power Requirements and Connections
The TPA032D03 mono class-D audio power amplifier evaluation module is
designed to operate from a supply voltage between 9 V and 14 V. For best
performance, the module should be operated at 12 V.
The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform provides several
options for powering the TPA032D03 class-D EVM. Table 3–1 shows the
platform jumper and switch settings for each power source option (see the
User’s Guide for the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier platform, TI Literature
Number SLOU011 for more information). The TPA032D03 class-D EVM
requires no setup for power source selection.
Table 3–1.Platform Jumper and Switch Settings for the TPA032D03 EVM Power Inputs
POWER TYPE (Note 2) JP1 JP2 JP3 JP4 JP5 JP6 JP7 JP8 S1 S2 (Note 3) S3
VCC (J1) ON OFF OFF ON ON Mute X Lo ON OFF U5
AC/DC (J2) OFF ON OFF ON ON Mute X Lo ON OFF U5
Notes: 1) ON = Jumper installed, OFF = Jumper NOT Installed, X = Don’t care
2) Install a voltage regulator EVM (SLVP097) in platform socket U6 for VDD power to EVM control inputs.
3) Set to ON when Tone Control Board SLOP109 is installed in U1, otherwise set to OFF.
Although the TPA032D03 amplifier IC draws approximately 1.6 A from the
power supply during continuous full power output, peak current draw can be
as high as 2.3 A. Any power supply connected to the platform should be
capable of providing 2.3 A (peak) to avoid clipping of the output signal during
voltage peaks. Current consumption driving speakers at normal listening
levels is typically 0.1 A or less.
A VDD supply of 5 V is required for normal operation of the TPA032D03 EVM.
VDD can either be applied to the platform VDD power input terminals (J6) or a
voltage regulator (SLVP097 or equiv.) can be installed in platform socket U6
to provide VDD from the platform VCC supply.

- VDD voltage applied to platform screw terminals J6 MUST NOT exceed
the absolute maximum rating for the TPA032D03 amplifier IC installed on
the evaluation module (5.5 V) or damage to the IC may result. In no case

- VCC voltage applied to the platform MUST NOT exceed the maximum

U6 (12 V for the SLVP097), or damage to the voltage regulator module
may result. In no case should VCC voltage applied to the platform exceed
15 V, or the overvoltage protection circuit on the VCC bus will trip.

3.3 Plug-N-Play Platform Inputs and Outputs
TheTIplug-n-playaudioamplifierevaluationplatformisequippedwithseveral
standard conectors for audio inputs and outputs.
3.3.1 Inputs
In most cases, audio signals enter the platform through either a pair of RCA
phono jacks (J3 and J5) or a miniature (1/8″) mono phone jack (J4). Certain
signal conditioning and amplifier EVMs, however, may have additional signal
input connectors mounted on the module circuit board.
The platform audio signal input jacks (J3, J4, and J5) are of the closed-circuit
type, grounding the signal input lines when no plugs are inserted.
3.3.2 Outputs
Amplified audio output signals leave the platform through the left RCA phono
jack(J9)andtheleftpairofcompressionconnectorsforstrippedspeakerwires
(J8).
The audio output lines from the power amplifiers are separate all the way to
theedgeof the platform (output jacksJ8andJ9) — the OUT+ andOUT–lines
from the power amplifier sockets are not tied to each other or to platform
ground. This allows the TPA032D03 class-D power amplifier EVM to operate
in the highly-efficient bridge-tied load configuration when driving speakers.
The headphone jack (J10) is capacitively coupled to source select switch S3,
which connects J10 to the output lines of either the headphone amplifier
socket or the power amplifier sockets (Figure 3–2).

class-D amplifier and the headphone amplifier, and the shutdown circuit
places the entire device into a power-saving sleep mode to minimize current
consumption. Each of these inputs is TTL compatible: less than 0.8 V applied
to these pins is considered a logic low, and any voltage greater than 2 V is
considered a logic high.
Two indicator pins are also provided for feedback when an under-voltage or

control and monitoring. There are two active low fault indicator pins on the
TPA032D03amplifierIC(ICpins41and42)thatprovidefeedbackwhenafault
condition exists. Signals on these pins provide the status of the acvtive
amplifier:operational,thermalfault,andunder-voltagelockout.Table3–2lists
the possible output conditions of these pins and a description of the fault
indicated.

3.6 Module Switches
TheTPA032D03monoclass-Daudioamplifierevaluationmoduleisequipped
with two pushbutton switches that allow the module shutdown and mute
functions to be manually activated.
3.6.1 S1 — Shutdown Switch
To have the module amplifier IC enter the shutdown mode, press the
Shutdown switch (S2) on the module. S2 connects the amplifier IC
SHUTDOWNpintoground, forcing it into a low-power state. This function can
be controlled by an external control input to the SD module pin.
TheshutdownmodereducestheamplifierICcurrentconsumptiontolessthan
1 µA compared to approximately 2.5 mA in the mute mode. The EVM
shutdown current is based on VCC, VDD, R2, R5, and R6, and capacitor
leakage currents, but will typically be 97 µA ±5% for VCC = 12 V and VDD = 5
V. The plug-n-play platform typically draws 60 mA of current.
3.6.2 S2 — Mute Switch
PushbuttonswitchS1ontheTPA032D03 class-D EVMallowsmanualmuting
of the amplifier IC. S1 connects the amplifier IC MUTE pin to ground, muting
the output. The EVM Mute control input pin also allows external control of this
function.
In the mute mode, the amplifier IC lowside output transistors are turned on,
shorting the load to ground. This reduces the EVM current to 2.5 mA.
3.6.3 J1 — Headphone Jack Mode Switch
EVM headphone jack J1 is equipped with an internal switch that grounds the
amplifierMODEpin until aplugisinsertedintothejack.Whenaplugisinserted
into the headphone jack, the IC MODE pin goes high and the IC headphone
amplifier goes active and the class-D amplifier shuts off.
