2*25W @4Ω TPA3123
CLASS-D AUDIO AMPLIFIER BOARD
USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Overview
Welcome to use this 2*25W amplifier board from Sure Electronics. Sure has developed
many Class-D amplifiers such as 0.5W, 2W, 8W, 15W, 50W, 100W and one-channel,
dual-channel, four-channel amplifiers to meet different requirements of customers. As a
new member of class-D amplifier series, this 2*25W amplifier board employs TPA3123D2
chip from TI. It supports dual channel amplification and each such channel is rated at 25W
which helps producing state-of-the-art sound quality. The efficiency of the TPA3123D2
eliminates the need for an external heat sink when playing music. Besides, integrating
high-quality SMD and MKP plug-in capacitors ensures Hi-Fi amplification output.
This amplifier can readily be powered by any DC power supply ranging from +10 to 30V.
You can use it to drive any 4Ω or 8Ω passive speakers. It’s an ideal choice for electronic
hobbyists and audio enthusiasts.

Note: Output signal cannot be bridged again.
Note: Please observe the following steps to complete verification so as to ensure the
products are intact during transit.
1. Open the amplifier package and make sure the product is intact (No missing
or damaged components and no deformation)
2. Please observe the connection schematics when connecting the amplifier
board. Use a nearby sound source, such as MP3 or CD player to have a
trial. This amplifier board can be deemed as qualified if you can hear the
sound corresponding to that sound source.
