Operation www.ti.com
This section describes how to operate the TPA6135A2EVM.
Use the following steps when operating the TPA6135A2EVM stand alone or when connecting the EVMinto an existing circuit.
1. Verify that the external power sources are set to OFF.2. Set the power supply voltage between 2.5 V and 5.5 V. When connecting the power supply to theEVM, first connect the ground connection to the GND connector, and then connect the positive supplyto the V
DD
connector. Verify that the connections are made to the correct banana jacks.
1. Verify that the audio source is set to the minimum level.2. Connect the audio source to the inputs, INL and INR. Shunt JP1 and JP2 for single-ended input.3. Connect a headset or other load to the headphone jack.
1. Shutdown is controlled by pushbutton S1. Press and hold S1 to place the TPA6135A2 in shutdown.Release S1 to reactivate the TPA6135A2.
Set the gain of the TPA6135A2 at GAIN. Set GAIN = 0 for -6dB. Set GAIN = 1 for 6 dB.
Output will be in Hi-Z state when HIZ = 1. Set HIZ = 0 to disable the Hi-Z mode.
1. Verify the correct connections as described in Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.2. Verify the correct voltage setting of the power supply and turn ON the power supply. Proper operationof the EVM should begin.3. Adjust the audio signal source as needed.

Please read the User’s Guide and, specifically, the Warnings and Restrictions notice in the User’s Guide prior to handling the product. Thisnotice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For additional information on TI’s environmental and/orsafety programs, please contact the TI application engineer or visit www.ti.com/esh .No license is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating to any machine, process, orcombination in which such TI products or services might be or are used.FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSESONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which aredesigned to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other environments maycause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures maybe required to correct this interference.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of HPVSS - 0.3 V to HPVDD + 0.3 V and the output voltage range ofHPVSS to HPVDD.Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are questionsconcerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM.Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,please contact a TI field representative.During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 85 °C. The EVM is designed to operateproperly with certain components above 85 °C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but arenot limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of devices can be identifiedusing the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation,please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
