1Introduction
1.1Description
The TPA2028D1 is a mono, filter-free Class-D audio power amplifier with automatic gain control (AGC),
dynamic range compression (DRC) and I2C digital volume control. The AGC and DRC functions enhance
the perceived audio loudness, and at the same time prevent speaker damage from overdrive. The
TPA2028D1 has independent software shutdown control and a 30-step volume control. Availability in the
WCSP package makes TPA2028D1 an ideal choice for both cellular handsets and PDAs.
The TPA2028D1 evaluation module (EVM) is a complete, stand-alone audio board. It contains the
TPA2028D1 WCSP (YZF) Class-D audio power amplifier.

2Operation
The TPA2028D1YZFEVM can be evaluated in a stand-alone mode or when connected to existing circuits
with I2C controls.
2.1Quick Start List for Stand-Alone Operation
A desktop or laptop computer with Windows™ XP installed is required in the stand-alone operation. Install
the software before connecting the EVM to a computer with a USB cable. The inputs accept standard
RCA plugs and the outputs accept banana connectors.
2.1.1Software Installation Sequence
1. Insert the CD provided.
2. Unzip the files to a temporary folder.
3. Install TPA2028D1 software by executing setup.exe located in TPA2028D1 Interface\.
Accept license agreement and defaults, and complete the installation. Note: you can uninstall later with
Add/Remove Programs.
NOTE:It is unnecessary to repeat the steps in Section 2.1.1, once the software is installed.
2.1.2Evaluation Module Preparations
1. Ensure that all external power sources are set to OFF.
2. Install shunt in jumper JP4;
3. Install shunts in jumpers JP2 when single-ended audio input is used; this ties IN– to ground.
4. Install shunts in J1 and J3 as shown in Figure 1. This sets the TPA2028D1 to accept I2C inputs from
the EVM itself.
