1.1 Description
The TPA6017A2 audio power amplifier evaluation module is a 2-watt per
channel class-AB stereo audio power amplifier complete with a small number
of external components mounted on a circuit board that measures
approximately 2-1/4 inches by 1-1/2 inches (Figure 1–1 and Figure 1–2).

Introduction
Theplug-n-playplatformhasroomforasingleTPA6017A2evaluationmodule
and is convenient for evaluating the TPA6017A2 device. The EVMs simply
plug into the platform, which provides power to the modules and connects
them to a versatile array of standard audio input and output jacks and
connectors.
There is nothing to build, nothing to solder, and nothing but the speakers
included with the platform to hook up.

2.1 Quick Start List for Plug-n-Play Platform
Follow these steps when using the TPA6017A2 EVM with the TI plug-n-play
audio amplifier evaluation platform (see the platform user’s guide, literature
number SLOU011, for additional details). Numbered callouts for selected
steps are shown in Figure 2–1.
-Platform Preparations
1) Ensure that all external power sources are set to OFF and that the
platform power switch S1 is set to OFF.
2) InstallaTPA6017A2moduleinplatformsocketU2,takingcaretoalign
the module pins correctly.
3) Use switch S2 to select or bypass the signal conditioning EVM
installed in U1. If no EVM is installed in U1, set this switch to OFF.
4) Set control signal polarity jumper JP8 to Lo.
5) Set jumper JP6 to select the Mute control input (this causes the
TPA6017A2toshutdownifaplugisinsertedintoplatformheadphone
jack J10).
6) Ifaheadphoneamplifierwillbeinstalled in U5,setheadphonesource
switch S3 to U5.

Notes: 1) ON = Jumper installed, OFF = Jumper NOT installed, X = Don’t care
2) Set S2 to ON when signal conditioning board is installed in U1; set S2 to OFF when
no signal conditioning board is installed.
-Power Supply
1) Selectandconnectthe power supply(ensurepowersupplyswitchS1

b) Install a voltage regulator EVM (SLVP097 or equiv.) in platform
socketU6. Connect a 7-V–12-V powersourcetoaplatformVCC
powerinputJ1orJ2andjumpertheappropriatepowerinput(see
platform user’s guide). If using J1, J2, or B1, set S1 to ON to
supply power to the EVM.
-Inputs and Outputs
1) Ensure that the audio signal source level is set to a minimum.
2) ConnecttheaudiosourcetotheleftandrightRCAphonojacksJ3and
J5 or stereo miniature phone jack J4.

-Power Up
1) Verify correct voltage and input polarity and set the external power
supply to ON. If VCC and an onboard regulator EVM are used to pro-
vide VDD, set the platform power switch S1 to ON.
PlatformLED2shouldlightindicatingthepresenceofVDD,andtheevaluation
modules installed on the platform should begin operation.
2) Adjust the signal source level and gain setting jumpers, J1 and J2, as
needed.

2.2 Quick Start List for Stand-Alone Operation
Follow these steps to use the TPA6017A2 EVM stand-alone or when
connecting it into existing circuits or equipment. Connections to the EVM
module header pins can be made via individual sockets, wire-wrapping, or
solderingtothepins,eitheronthetoporthebottomofthemodulecircuitboard.
-Power Supply
1) Ensure that all external power sources are set to OFF.
2) Connect an external regulated power supply set to 5 V to the module
VDD and GND pins taking care to observe marked polarity.
-Inputs and Outputs
1) Ensure that the audio signal source level adjustments are set to
minimum.
2) Connect the right and left positive audio source to the module RIN+
and LIN+ pins, respectively. Connect the right and left negative audio
source to the module RIN–and LIN–pins, respectively.
3) If using single ended inputs, ground the LIN+ and RIN+ pins and con-
nect the signal source to RIN–and LIN–.
-Evaluation Module Preparations
1) Use jumpers J1 and J2 to set the gain of the TPA6017A2 amplifier.
Refer to Table 2–2 for gain settings.
-Control Inputs
1) SHUTDOWN: This pin is active LOW. A LOW on this pin (< 0.8 V)
shutsdowntheamplifier;aHIGH(>2V)onthispinplacestheamplifi-
er in the active state. Leaving this pin floating allows normal amplifier
operation in the active state.
-Power Up
1) Verify correct voltage and input polarity and set the external power
supply to ON.
The EVM should begin operation.
2) Adjust the signal source level and gain setting jumpers, J1 and J2, as
needed.
