Introduction
Description
1.2 Description
The TPA6102A2 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 TPA6102A2
50-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 (see Figure 1–1).
Figure 1–1. The TI TPA6102A2 Audio Amplifier Evaluation Module
†
Due to the very small size of the MSOP IC package, the standard part number TPA6102A2 is
replaced with the code TIAJN.
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 TPA6102A2 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,
andconnectsthemtoaversatilearrayofstandardaudioinputandoutputjacks
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 prepare the TPA6102A2 audio
amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA6102A2 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 Table 2–1 are typical for the
TPA6102A2 EVM and will cause the TPA6102A2 IC to shutdown/mute when
a plug is removed from platform headphone jack J10.

2.1 Precautions
Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum Voltage
Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power
connected to V
power input connector J1, J2, and/or V
power
CC
DD
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.
