Introduction
1.2 Description
The TPA731 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete,
low-power single-channel audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA731
700-mWlow-voltage audiopower amplifierICin averysmall MSOPpackage,
along with a small number of other parts mounted on a circuit board that is
approximately one and a quarter inches square (see Figure 1–1).

†Due to the very small size of the MSOP IC package, the standard part number TPA731 is
replaced with the code TAJC.
Single in-line header pins are mounted to the underside of the module circuit
board. These pins allow the EVM to 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.
The platform, with room for a pair of TPA731 MSOP evaluation modules, is a
convenient vehicle for demonstrating TI’s audio power amplifier and related
evaluation modules. The EVMs simply plug 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.

Operation
Operation
Follow the steps in this chapter to quickly prepare the TPA731 MSOP audio
amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA731 MSOP EVM with 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.
Theplatform switch and jumper settings shown in Table2–1aretypicalfor the
TPA731 MSOP EVM. They will cause the TPA731 device to shutdown when
a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.

Precautions
2-2
Operation
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
Do not insert or remove EVM boards with power applied – damage
to the EVM board, the platform, or both may result.
