Introduction
1.2 Description
The TPA731 MSOP audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete,
low-power single-channel audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA731
700-mW low-voltage 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 (see Figure 1–1).

TPA731 MSOP EVM
Single in-line header pins are mounted to the underside of the module circuit
board. These pins 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, with room for a pair of TP A731 MSOP evaluation modules, 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.

Operation
Follow the steps in this chapter to quickly prepare the TPA731 MSOP audio
amplifier EVM for use. Using the TP A731 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 it 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
TPA731 MSOP EVM. They will cause the TPA731 device to shutdown when
a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.

Precautions
2.1 Precautions
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 input connector J1, J2, and/or VDD power
CC
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.

Quick Start List for Platform
2.2 Quick Start List for Platform
Follow these steps when using the TP A731 MSOP EVM with the TI plug-n-play
audio amplifier evaluation platform (see the platform user’s guide, SLOU011,
for additional details). Numbered callouts for selected steps are shown in
Figure 2–1 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 TPA731 MSOP module in platform sockets U3 and U4 for stereo
operation (or a module in either U3 or U4 for single channel operation),
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 Hi.
5) Set jumper JP6 to select the Mute control input (causes the TPA731 to
shutdown if a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10).

6) Select and connect the power supply:
a) Connect an external regulated power supply set to a voltage between
2.5 V and 5.5 V to platform VDD power input connector J6, taking care
to observe marked polarity, or
b) Install a voltage regulator EVM (SL VP097 or equiv .) in platform socket
U6. Install a 9-V battery in B1 or connect a 7 V – 12 V power source
to a platform V
power input (see platform user’s guide).
