2 Operation
This section describes the TPA3129D2EVM board in regards to the power supply and system interfaces.
Information regarding handling and unpacking, absolute operating conditions, and a description of the
factory default switch and jumper configurations is provided.
The following is a step-by-step guide to configuring the TPA3129D2EVM for device evaluation:
2.1 Electrostatic Discharge Warning
Many of the components on the TPA3129D2EVM are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge
CAUTION
Failure to observe ESD handling procedures may result in damage to EVM
components.
2.2 Unpacking the EVM
On opening the TPA3129D2EVM package, ensure that the following item is included:
1 piece TPA3129D2EVM board using one TPA3129D2 device
If the EVM board is missing, contact the Texas Instruments Product Information Center nearest you to
inquire about a replacement.
2.3 Power Supply Setup
A single power supply or separate PVCC or AVCC is required to power up the EVM. Since most of the
pins are PVCC-compliant, the PVCC supply can also be used to power the analog supply (AVCC) and to
pullup the logic pins for shutdown (SD) control, and fault detection (FAULT).
Table 2. Power Requirements
Description Voltage Range Current Requirement Minimum Wire Size
PVCC or AVCC 4.5 to 26 V 8 A 24 AWG
CAUTION
Applying voltages above the limitations given in Table 2 may cause permanent
damage to your hardware.
2.4 Evaluation Module Preparations
Prepare the EVM using the following steps:
1. Ensure that the external power source is set to OFF.
2. Connect the external regulated power supply adjusted from 4.5 V to 26 V to the module PVCC and
GND banana jacks taking care to observe marked polarity.

2.5 Inputs and Outputs
Make the following input and output connections:
1. Connect audio inputs, either differential or single-ended, to the LIN and RIN RCA phono plugs for BTL
operation. To enable the individual channel shutdown feature, tie RINP and RINN directly to GND
(without capacitors) and OUTPL and OUTNL should be working normally in BTL configuration. For
PBTL operation, apply a single input, differential or single-ended, to the RIN RCA phono plug and tie
LINP and LINN directly to GND (without capacitors).
2. For a BTL configuration, connect a load across the outputs (OUTL+ and OUTL–) and (OUTR+ and
OUTR–). For PBTL configuration, connect a single load from one of the left speaker jacks to one of the
right speaker jacks, depending on how the filters are loaded.
2.6 Power Up
When powering up the EVM, use the following steps:
1. Verify the correct voltage and input polarity and turn the external power supplies ON. The EVM should
begin operation.
2. Adjust the audio source for the correct volume.
2.7 Recommended Settings
This section contains the recommended settings for stereo, single-channel, and mono output.
Table 3 lists the settings for a single-ended input with auto recovery, Plimit, and BTL (stereo output).

R4 Change PLIMIT voltage value
JP8 (SD = FAULT), set to IN Auto-recovery mode

2.8 Separate PVCC or AVCC Supply Support
By supplying a voltage of AVCC which is lower than PVCC (for example, PVCC = 24 V and AVCC = 12
V), the power dissipation on the internal LDO is reduced. This gives customers the flexibility to choose
between extreme low-idle current mode (J3, 1 and 2 set to IN, with separate AVCC) and single-power
supply mode (J3, 2 and 3 set to IN, without AVCC).
