Introduction
1.2 Description
The TPA741 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete,
low-power single-channel audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA741
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 TPA741 is re-
placed with the code TIAJD.
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.
Theplatform,whichhasroomforapairofTPA741MSOPevaluationmodules,
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.
