Introduction
1.2Description
The TPA0202 Stereo 2-W Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module is a
complete, 2-Watt per channel stereo audio power amplifier. It consists of the
TI TP A0202 Stereo 2-W Audio Power Amplifier IC along with a small number
of other parts mounted on a circuit board that measures approximately 2
inches by 1½ inches (Figure 1–1).

Single in-line header pins extend from the underside of the module circuit
board to 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.
The platform has room for a single TPA0202 evaluation module and 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,
and connects them to a versatile array of standard audio input and output jacks
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.”
The steps in this chapter can be followed to quickly prepare the TP A0202 audio
amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA0202 with the TI Plug-N-Play Audio
Amplifier Evaluation Platform is a quick and easy way to connect power, signal
and control inputs, and signal outputs to the EVM using standard connectors.
However, the audio amplifier evaluation module can be used stand-alone by
making connections directly to the module pins, and can be wired directly into
existing circuits or equipment.
The platform switch and jumper settings shown in T able 2–1 are typical for the
TPA0202 EVM and will cause the TPA0202 to switch to single-ended output
mode when a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.
