EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the supply voltage range specified in the user’s guide.
The supply voltage range should be 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible
damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or
possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to
connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,
please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than
85°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 85°C as long
as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited
to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These
types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User’s Guide.
When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation, please be aware
that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

Introduction
Description
1.2Description
The TPA2008D2 filter-free class-D stereo audio power amplifier evaluation
module is a complete, 3-W per channel class-D stereo audio power amplifier
that can operate without an output filter. It consists of the TI TPA2008D2
class-D stereo 3-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 1–2.The TI TPA2008D2 Audio Amplifier EVM Without Output Filter—Bottom View
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.

TP A2008D2 EVM Specifications
The platform has room for a single TPA2008D2 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 A2008D2
stereo filter-free class-D audio amplifier EVM for use. Using the TP A2008D2
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
TP A2008D2 EVM and causes the TP A2008D2 to shut down when a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.

Notes:1) ON = Jumper installed, OFF = Jumper NOT Installed, X = Don’t care
2) Set S2 to ON when signal conditioning board is installed in U1; set S2
to OFF when no signal conditioning board is installed.
Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum Voltage
Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power
connected to V
input connector J6 are correct. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity
power applied to these terminals can open onboard soldered-in
fuses and cause other damage to the platform, installed evaluation
modules, and/or the power source.
Inserting or Removing EVM Boards
Do not insert or remove EVM boards with power applied—damage
to the EVM board, the platform, or both may result.

Follow these steps when using the TPA2008D2 EVM with the TI plug-n-play
audio amplifier evaluation platform (see the platform user’s guide, literature
number SLOU011, for additional details). Numbered callouts for selected
steps are shown in Figure 2–2, and details appear in Chapter 3.
- Platform preparations
1) Ensure that all external power sources are set to OFF and that the platform
power switch S1 is set to OFF.
2) Install a TPA2008D2 module in platform socket U2, taking care to align the
module pins correctly.
3) Use switch S2 to select or bypass the signal conditioning EVM (U1).
4) Set control signal Polarity jumper JP8 to Lo.
5) Set jumper JP6 to select the Mute control input (causes the TPA2008D2
to shut down if a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10).
6) If a headphone amplifier will be installed in U5, set the headphone source
switch S3 to U5.

Operation
2.4Power Requirements
The TPA2008D2 audio power amplifier evaluation module can operate from
any voltage between approximately 4.5 V and 5.5 V; however , the TPA2008D2
amplifier IC on the module is characterized for operation at 5 V. For best
performance (highest output power with lowest distortion), the module should
be operated at 5 V.
The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform with a voltage regulator
EVM installed on it can provide a regulated V
unregulated V
9-V battery . Alternatively, an external regulated power source can be used to
supply V
installed on it.
Although the TP A2008D2 amplifier IC draws approximately 1 A from the power
supply during continuous full power output, peak current draw can be as high
as 2 A. Any power supply connected to the platform should be capable of
providing 2 A of current to avoid clipping of the output signal during peaks.
Current consumption driving speakers at normal listening levels is typically
0.1 A or less.
