2 Overview
The TAS5105EVM package is composed of two separate modules, the MC016 Modulator/Controller
Module and the TAS5105EVM Amplifier Module. They are designed so that the user can separate the two
modules and connect the TAS5105EVM Amplifier Module into a target system via a ribbon cable. Keep
this ribbon cable as short as possible to avoid degradation in the PWM signals.
The TAS5105 customer evaluation amplifier modules each demonstrate two audio integrated circuits —
the TAS5012 and the TAS5105 from Texas Instruments (TI).
The TAS5012 is a high-performance, 32-bit (24-bit input), multichannel PurePath Digital™ pulse width
modulator (PWM) based on Equibit™ technology with fully symmetrical AD modulation scheme. It accepts
an input sample rate from 32 kHz to 192 kHz.
The TAS5105 is a compact, high-power, digital amplifier power stage designed to drive an 8-Ω
loudspeaker up to 20 W/channel at 10% THD+N. It contains integrated gate-drive, four matched and
electrically isolated enhancement-mode N-channel power DMOS transistors, and protection/fault-reporting
circuitry. The DAD package has a PowerPAD™ package on the top side for heat transfer through a heat
sink. The heat sink in this design is for evaluation purposes only.
The TAS5105 EVM and the MC016 form a complete two-channel, digital audio amplifier system which
includes digital input (S/PDIF) and DAP (digital audio processor) features like digital volume control, bass
management, and input and output multiplexers.
This EVM is designed to illustrate a low-cost approach to an amplifier design using this device.

2.1 TAS5105EVM Features
• Modular approach composed of TAS5105EVM Amplifier Modules and MC016 Modulator/Controller
Module
• Two-channel evaluation module
• Self-contained protection system (short-circuit and thermal)
• No programming required
• Double-sided, plated-through printed-circuit board (PCB) layout

controlled through the SPDIF or ADC source.
2.2 PCB Key Map
Physical structure for the TAS5105EVM is illustrated in Figure 1.

3 Quick-Setup Guide
This section describes the TAS5105EVM board in regards to power supplies and system interfaces. It
provides information regarding handling and unpacking, absolute operating conditions, and a description
of the factory default switch and jumper configuration.
The section also provides a step-by-step guide to configuring the TAS5105EVM for device evaluation.
3.1 Electrostatic Discharge Warning
Many components on the TAS5105EVM are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Customers are advised to observe proper ESD handling precautions when unpacking and handling the
EVM, including the use of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
CAUTION
Failure to observe ESD handling procedures can result in damage to EVM
components.

3.2 Unpacking the EVM
On opening the TAS5105EVM package, ensure that the following items are included:
• 1 pc. TAS5105EVM Power Stage Board
• 1 pc. MC016 Modulator/Controller Board
If any of these items are missing, contact the Texas Instruments Product Information Center nearest you
to inquire about a replacement.
Connect the MC106 Modulator/Controller Board to the TAS5105 Power Stage Board with the docking
connectors on each board. Use care because this connector is not keyed.
Figure 2. Modulator and Power Stage Board Connection Example
3.3 Power Supply Setup
To power up the EVM, one power supply is needed for system power, logic and gate-drive, and for output
stage supply. The power supply is connected to the EVM with banana cables or stripped insulated wire.

3.4 Operational Sequence and Indicators
1. Connect the MC016 board to the TAS5105EVM.
2. On the TAS5105 EVM, make sure JP1 and JP3 are in, and JP2 is set to pins 2 and 3.
3. Connect loads to the output of the TAS5105EVM.
4. Connect an SPDIF cable, optical or coaxial, to the MC016 board. Be sure to flip the dipswitch to "RCA"
for coaxial and "OPTO" for optical.
5. Connect the power supply and turn it on.
6. After connecting the power supply and turning it on, the power supply current must read ~50 mA. The
amplifier reset LED must be on. This indicates the board is working and drawing a normal amount of
current.
• The PVDD and 3.3-V LEDs must be on. If not, check the connections to the power supply.
7. Connect the SPDIF cable, either optical or coaxial, to an SPDIF source.
If the preceding conditions are met, the EVM system is ready to accept audio data.
4 System Interfaces
This section describes the TAS5105 EVM board in regards to power supplies and system interfaces.
4.1 Power Supply (PSU) Interface (PVDD and GND)
The TAS5105 EVM module must be powered from a well-regulated external power supply. Good audio
performance requires a stabilized power supply with low ripple voltage and low output impedance.
NOTE: The length of power supply cable must be minimized. Increasing the length of the PSU
cable is equal to increasing the distortion for the amplifier at high output levels and low
frequencies.
Maximum output stage supply voltage depends of the speaker load resistance. For the recommended
maximum supply voltage, see the TAS5105 data sheet (SLES258).

The recommended TAS5105 power-up sequence is shown in Figure 3. For proper TAS5105 operation,
the RESET signal should be kept low during power up. RESET is pulled low during power up for 200 ms
by the onboard reset generator (U2).

Protection www.ti.com
5 Protection
This section describes the short-circuit protection and fault-reporting circuitry of the TAS5105 device.
5.1 Short-Circuit Protection and Fault-Reporting Circuitry
The TAS5105 is a self-protecting device that provides fault reporting (including high-temperature
protection and short-circuit protection). For highest possible reliability, recovering from a fault requires
external reset of the device. This is done by the TAS5012 on the MC016 board. See the TAS5105 data
sheet for more information regarding the RESET function.
5.2 Fault Reporting
The OTW and FAULT outputs from TAS5105 indicate fault conditions. See the TAS5105 data sheet
(SLES258) for a description of these pins.
Table 6. TAS5105 Warning/Error Signal Decoding
FAULT OTW Device Condition
0 0 Overcurrent (OC) or undervoltage (UVP) warning or overtemperature error (OTE)
0 1 Overtemperature warning (OTW) or overcurrent (OC) or undervoltage (UVP)
1 0 Junction temperature lower than 125°C and no faults (normal operation)
1 1 Junction temperature higher than 125°C (overtemperature warning)
The FAULT output is open-drain. The OTW output is push-pull active high.
The OTW LED on the MC016 is illuminated when the temperature of the TAS5105 is okay (less than
125°C.) The LED turns off when the TAS5105 is warning of overtemperature on the device (TJ> 125°C.)
This polarity is due to a reversal of polarity of the OTW pin from other devices (e.g., TAS5132) which also
use this modulator board.
