2 Operation
This chapter describes the power supply and system interfaces of the TPA3156D2EVM board. Information
regarding handling and unpacking, absolute operating conditions, and a description of the factory default
switch and jumper configurations are also provided. The following is a step-by-step guide to configuring
the TPA3156D2EVM for device evaluation.
2.1 Electrostatic Discharge Warning
Many components on the TPA3156D2EVM 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
When opening the TPA3156D2EVM package, ensure there is one TPA3156D2EVM board using one
TPA3156D2. If the EVM is missing, contact the TI Product Information Center nearest you to inquire about
a replacement.
2.3 Power Supply Setup
A single power supply or separate PVCC/AVCC is required to power up the EVM (see Table 2). Because
most of the pins are PVCC compliant, the PVCC supply can also be used to power the analog supply
(AVCC) and to pull up the logic pins for shutdown (SD) control, and fault detection (FAULT).
Table 2. Power Requirements
Description Voltage Range Current Requirement Minimum Wire Size
PVCC/AVCC 4.5 to 26 V 8 A 24 AWG
CAUTION
Applying voltages above the limitations given in Table 2 may permanently
damage the hardware.
2.4 Evaluation Module Preparations
• Ensure that the external power source is set to OFF.
• 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:
For BTL configuration:
1. Connect audio inputs, either differential or single-ended, to the LIN and RIN RCA phono plugs. To
enable the individual channel shutdown feature, tie RINP and RINN directly to ground (without
capacitors), and OUTPL and OUTNL should work normally.
2. Connect a load (or loads) across the outputs (OUTL+ and OUTL–) and (OUTR+ and OUTR–).
For PBTL configuration:
1. Apply a single input, differential or single ended, to the RIN RCA phono plug and tie LINP and LINN
directly to Ground (without capacitors).
2. 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
1. Verify 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).

JP7, set to IN Set PLIMIT
R4 Change PLMIT voltage value
JP8 (/SD=/FAULT) set to IN Auto-recovery mode
J11 (MODESEL=L) Low idle-loss mode
2.8 Separate PVCC and AVCC Supply Support
Supplying a voltage of AVCC that is lower than PVCC (for example PVCC = 24 V and AVCC = 12 V),
reduces the power dissipation on the internal LDO. This gives customers the flexibility to choose between
the 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).

This is a class A product intended for use in environments other than domestic environments that are connected to a
low-voltage power-supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. In a domestic environment this
product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
4EVM Use Restrictions and Warnings:
4.1 EVMS ARE NOT FOR USE IN FUNCTIONAL SAFETY AND/OR SAFETY CRITICAL EVALUATIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO EVALUATIONS OF LIFE SUPPORT APPLICATIONS.
4.2 User must read and apply the user guide and other available documentation provided by TI regarding the EVM prior to handling
or using the EVM, including without limitation any warning or restriction notices. The notices contain important safety information
related to, for example, temperatures and voltages.
4.3 Safety-Related Warnings and Restrictions:
4.3.1 User shall operate the EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations stated in the user
guide, other available documentation provided by TI, and any other applicable requirements and employ reasonable and
customary safeguards. Exceeding the specified performance ratings and specifications (including but not limited to input
and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) for the EVM may cause personal injury or death, or
property damage. If there are questions concerning performance ratings and specifications, User should contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied
outside of the specified output range may also result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible
permanent damage to the EVM and/or interface electronics. Please consult the EVM user 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, even with the inputs and outputs kept within the specified allowable ranges, some circuit
components may have elevated case temperatures. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators,
switching transistors, pass transistors, current sense resistors, and heat sinks, which can be identified using the
information in the associated documentation. When working with the EVM, please be aware that the EVM may become
very warm.
