Introduction

1.2 Description

The TPA102 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete, low-power stereo audio power amplifier for high-fidelity line-level output, headphone, and small speaker applications. It consists of the TI TPA102 150-mW stereo audio power amplifier IC in a very small MSOP package, along with a small number of other parts mounted on a circuit board that is approximately one and a quarter inches square (Figure 1–1).

Single in-line header pins are mounted to 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 TPA102 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.

Quick Start

The steps in this chapter can be followed to quickly prepare the TP A102 MSOP audio amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA102 MSOP EVM 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 TPA102 MSOP EVM and will cause the TPA102 IC to shutdown/mute when a plug is removed from platform headphone jack J10.

The TPA102 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module

3.2 The TPA102 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module

The TPA102 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module is powered by a TPA102 150-mW stereo audio amplifier IC. It includes a shutdown control signal input with onboard switch and can drive either line-level outputs, 32-Ω headphones, or 8-Ω speakers.

The evaluation module can be used with the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform (Figure 3–1) or wired directly into circuits or equipment. The module has single in-line header connector pins mounted to the under side of the board. These pins allow the module to be plugged into the TI platform, which automatically makes all the signal input and output, power, and control connections to the module.

The module connection pins are on 0.1-inch centers to allow easy use with standard perf board and plug board-based prototyping systems. Or, the EVM can be wired directly into existing circuits and equipment when used stand-alone.

The module appears in Figure 3–2 and its schematic is shown in Figure 3–3.

The TPA102 audio amplifier IC is a CMOS device intended primarily for high-performance line-level output, headphone driver, and small speaker applications. It is supplied in a very small surface-mount MSOP package designed to operate from low supply voltages (between approximately 2.5 V and 5.5 V) and deliver up to approximately 150 mW into 8-Ω speakers with low distortion. As a line-level driver, distortion levels (THD+N) are below 0.03% into 10-kΩ loads across the audio band (20 Hz to 20 kHz). As a headphone driver, distortion levels are below 0.4% into 32-Ω loads across the audio band. And as a speaker driver, distortion levels are below 0.8% into 8-Ω loads across the audio band. Typical applications include portable computers, desktop computers, personal audio, toys, games, and similar audio applications.

The IC includes two separate internal amplifiers, depop circuitry, and a common shutdown control (Figure 3–4). The load for each channel is connected between the V

pin and GND through a coupling capacitor. For

more information, see the TP A102 amplifier IC data sheet, TI literature number SLOS213.

3.2.2 Module Gain

The TPA102 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module

The TP A102 MSOP evaluation module has a set gain of 4 (inverting) for each channel. However, the gain can be adjusted to a maximum of approximately 10 (inverting) by changing the value of feedback resistors (R2 and R4, Figure 3–3). Use the following equation to determine the value of R

Gain+–

The TP A102 amplifier IC, like most other amplifiers, exhibits its best distortion and noise performance at lower gain levels. In addition, higher gain levels require a small compensation capacitor to ensure stability (see the TPA102 amplifier IC data sheet, TI literature number SLOS213).

Gain versus total harmonic distortion (THD) and gain versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) should be considered in each application. Both the module input signal level and the TP A102 MSOP module gain should be adjusted to obtain the lowest overall distortion level for a particular overall gain. A quick rule of thumb (everything else being equal): the module input signal level should be as high as possible without clipping or overloading the TP A102 input, and the TPA102 gain should be kept as low as possible.

3.2.3 Shutdown

When the shutdown terminal of the TP A102 amplifier IC is taken high, the IC ceases operation and enters a very low power state (65 µA, Typ). This is accomplished by applying a control signal to the module SD pin or by pressing the Shutdown switch, S1, on the module. When the control signal goes low or is removed (or the switch is released), amplifier operation resumes.

The plug-n-play platform can generate the mute signal for the module either when a plug is inserted into the platform headphone output jack or when the plug is removed, as selected by a platform jumper (JP7).

3.3 Using the TPA102 MSOP EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform

The TP A102 MSOP audio amplifier evaluation module is designed for use with the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform. It simply plugs into socket U5.

The following paragraphs provide additional details for using the TP A102 EVM with the platform.

3.3.1 Installing and Removing EVM Boards

TI plug-n-play evaluation modules use single-in-line header pins installed on the underside of the module circuit board to plug into sockets on the platform. The EVM pins and the platform sockets are keyed such that only the correct type of EVM can be installed in a particular socket, and then only with the proper orientation.

Evaluation modules are easily removed from the platform by simply prying them up and lifting them out of their sockets. Care must be taken, however, to prevent bending the pins.

3.3.1.1 EVM Insertion

3.3.1.2 EVM Removal

1) Remove all power from the evaluation platform.

2) Locate socket U5 on the platform.

3) Orient the module correctly.

4) Carefully align the pins of the module with the socket pin receptacles.

5) Gently press the module into place.

6) Check to be sure that all pins are seated properly and that none are bent over.

1) Remove all power from the evaluation platform.

2) Gently pry up one side of the module a short distance.

3) Change to the opposite side of the module and pry that side up a short distance.

4) Alternate between sides, prying the module up a little more each time to avoid bending the pins, until it comes loose from the socket.

5) Lift the EVM off the platform.

3.3.2.1 Signal Conditioning

The audio signal from the input jacks can be applied to the signal conditioning socket (U1) if an EVM is installed there, or socket U1 can be bypassed and the audio input signal applied directly to the inputs of the TP A102 power amplifiers.

Switch S2 selects or bypasses signal conditioning.

3.3.2.2 Headphone Output Jack

Switch S3 is the source select for the stereo headphone output jack, J10. The headphone jack is capacitively coupled (via 470 µF electrolytics. It can output either the signal from the the TPA102 MSOP headphone amplifier in socket U5, or the signal from power amplifiers installed in socket U2 or in sockets U3 and U4, as determined by the setting of headphone source select switch S3.

When S3 is set to the headphone amplifier position (U5), the headphone jack is connected to the headphone amplifier EVM output lines. When a plug is inserted into the jack, signals output through J10 are returned to platform ground. A switch inside the headphone jack produces a control signal that can be routed to the headphone amplifier socket to shutdown the TP A102 MSOP EVM when the headphone plug is removed.

Switch S3 connects the headphone jack to either the headphone amplifier platform socket (U5) or to the platform power amplifier sockets (U2 – U4).

3.3.3 Shutdown

The TP A102 MSOP EVM is equipped with a shutdown control input pin. When this input is tied to VDD, the TPA102 amplifier IC on the module ceases operation and enters an ultralow-power state. When the EVM shutdown control input is tied to GND or allowed to float, amplifier operation resumes.

In typical applications, as often found in notebook computers, portable audio products, and such, the internal speakers mute when headphones are plugged into the headphone jack, or internal speakers mute when external speakers are connected. In applications using separate speaker and headphone amplifiers, the one not being used can be muted to conserve power.

3.3.3.1 Headphone Jack Control Signals

The platform headphone output jack (J10) contains an internal switch that changes the state of a pair of control lines when a plug is inserted or removed (Figure 3–6). Each control line is pulled down by a 1-kΩ resistor to ground (R4 and R5). The switch in the headphone jack pulls one line or the other up to V through a 240-Ω resistor (R3), depending on whether or not a plug is inserted in J10.

3.3.4 Power Requirements

The TPA102 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module can operate from a VDD voltage between approximately 2.5 V and 5.5 V.

The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform with a voltage regulator EVM installed on it can provide a regulated 3.3-V or 5-V V wide variety of unregulated V and 12 V, including an onboard 9-V battery. Or, an external regulated power source can be used to supply V evaluation module installed on it.

The platform is equipped with overvoltage and reverse-polarity supply voltage input protection in the form of fused crowbar circuits.

VDD voltage applied to platform screw terminals J6 must not exceed the absolute maximum rating for the TP A102 amplifier IC installed on the evaluation module (5.5 V), or damage to the IC may result. In no case should V

3.3.5 Inputs and Outputs

The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform is equipped with several standard conectors for audio inputs and outputs.

3.3.5.1 Inputs

In most cases, audio signals enter the platform through either a pair of RCA phono jacks (J3 and J5) or a miniature (1/8″) stereo phone jack (J4). Certain signal conditioning and amplifier EVMs, however, may have additional signal input connectors mounted on the module circuit board.

The platform audio signal input jacks (J3, J4, and J5) are of the closed-circuit type, grounding the signal input lines when no plugs are inserted.

3.3.5.2 Outputs

Output signals from the headphone amplifier (U5) leave the platform through a miniature (1/8″) stereo headphone jack (J10). Amplified audio output signals from the power amplifiers (U2 – U4) leave the platform through left and right RCA phono jacks (J7 and J9), left and right pairs of compression connectors for stripped speaker wires (J8), and optionally, through the headphone jack.

The audio output lines from the power amplifiers are separate all the way to the edge of the platform (output jacks J7, J8, and J9) — the OUT– lines from the power amplifier sockets are not tied to each other or to platform ground. This allows the power amplifier EVMs to operate in the highly-efficient bridge-tied load configuration.

The headphone jack (J10) is capacitively coupled to source select switch S3, which connects J10 to the output lines of either the headphone amplifier socket or the power amplifier sockets (Figure 3–5). When the TPA102 MSOP EVM output signal is routed to J10 by S3, signals output via J10 are returned to platform ground when a plug is inserted (Figure 3–7).

3.4 Using the TPA102 MSOP EVM Stand-Alone

Using the TPA102 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module stand-alone is much the same as using it with the platform. The same 2.5-V to 5.5-V power supply requirement exists.

Note that the shutdown signal applied to the EVM SD pin must be able to supply enough current to overcome the pulldown resistor on the module (20 kΩ).
