1Introduction
1.1Description
The TPA3106D1 evaluation module consists of a single 40 W, class-D, mono audio power amplifier;
complete with a small number of external components mounted on a circuit board that can be used to
directly drive speakers with an external analog audio source as the input.

2Operation
2.1Quick Start List for Stand-Alone Operation
Follow these steps to use the TPA3106D1EVM stand-alone or when connecting it into existing circuits or
equipment. Connections to the EVM module can be made by inserting stripped wire or using banana
plugs for the power supply and output connections. The inputs accept standard RCA plugs.
2.1.1Power Supply
1. Ensure that all external power sources are set to OFF.
2. Connect an external regulated power supply (adjusted from 10 V to 26 V) to the module VCC (J7) and
GND (J8) banana jacks, taking care to observe the marked polarity.
2.1.2Evaluation Module Preparations
2.1.2.1Inputs and Outputs
1. Connect a speaker across OUT+ (J5) and OUT– (J6).
2. Install both gain jumpers GAIN0 (J12) and GAIN1 (J13). This sets the gain of the amplifier to the
lowest level, 20 dB.
3. Install the Master/Slave jumper (J14), if Master mode operation is desired.
4. Install the fault jumper if resettable short circuit protection is desired.
2.1.2.2Control Inputs
1. SHUTDOWN: This terminal is active LOW. A LOW on the device terminal (<0.8V) shuts down the
amplifier; a HIGH (>2V) on the device terminal places the amplifier in the active state. Holding down
switch SW1 will place the amplifier in the SHUTDOWN state. Releasing SW1 will return the amplifier to
the active state.
2. MUTE: This terminal is active HIGH. A HIGH (>2V) on this terminal will immediately terminate audio
playback through the speakers; a LOW (<0.8V) will enable the device. The outputs will remain
switching with fifty percent duty cycle. SW2 on the EVM controls the state of the MUTE terminal.
Holding down switch SW2 will place the amplifier in the MUTE state. Releasing SW2 will return the
amplifier to the active state.
3. GAIN0/GAIN1: Together, these terminals determine the gain of the amplifier. Refer to Table 1.
Installing a jumper in J12 or J13 will set the respective terminal to GND. Removing the jumper will set
the respective terminals to Vreg. Removing jumpers INCREASES the gain while installing jumpers
DECREASES the gain. Logic levels are TTL compatible.

Texas Instruments (TI) provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. Persons handling the
product(s) must have electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards. As such, the goods being provided are
not intended to be complete in terms of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations,
including product safety and environmental measures typically found in end products that incorporate such semiconductor
components or circuit boards. This evaluation board/kit does not fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding
electromagnetic compatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling (WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore may not meet the
technical requirements of these directives or other related directives.
Should this evaluation board/kit not meet the specifications indicated in the User’s Guide, the board/kit may be returned within 30
days from the date of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY
SELLER TO BUYER AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
The user assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling of the goods. Further, the user indemnifies TI from all
claims arising from the handling or use of the goods. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the user’s responsibility to
take any and all appropriate precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH ABOVE, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
TI currently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement with the user is not exclusive.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of
patents or services described herein.
Please read the User’s Guide and, specifically, the Warnings and Restrictions notice in the User’s Guide prior to handling the
product. This notice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For additional information on TI’s
environmental and/or safety programs, please contact the TI application engineer or visit www.ti.com/esh.

combination in which such TI products or services might be or are used.
FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this
equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense
will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM Warnings and Restrictions
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 10 V to 26 V and the output voltage range of 0 V to 26 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.
