Introduction
1.2 Description
The TPA0242 stereo 2-W audio power amplifier evaluation module is a
complete, 2-watt per channel stereo audio power amplifier. It consists of the
TI TPA0242 stereo 2-W audio power amplifier IC along with a small number
of other parts mounted on a circuit board that measures approximately 2 1/4
inches by 1 1/2 inches (Figure 1–1).

TPA00242 EVM Board
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 TPA0242 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

Quick Start
The steps in this chapter can be followed to quickly prepare the TP A0242 audio
amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA0242 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
TPA0242 EVM and will cause the TPA0242 to switch to single-ended output
mode when a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.
