TPA00242 EVM Board
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.
The platform has room for a single TPA0242 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 auto-
matically provides power to the modules, interconnects them correctly, and
connectsthemtoaversatilearrayofstandardaudioinputandoutputjacksand
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
ThestepsinthischaptercanbefollowedtoquicklypreparetheTPA0242audio
amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA0242 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 Table 2–1 are typical for the
TPA0242 EVM and will cause the TPA0242 to switch to single-ended output
mode when a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.

various module control input pins as needed:
a) SE/BTL: A high selects the single-ended (SE) output mode; a low or
float selects the bridge-tied load (BTL) output mode.
b) SHUTDOWN: A low shuts down the amplifier IC on the module; a high
or float allows normal operation.
Power-up
9) Verify correct voltage and input polarity and set the external power supply
to ON.
The EVM should begin operation.
10) Adjust the signal source level as needed.

The TPA0242 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module
3.2 The TPA0242 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module
The TPA0242 audio power amplifier evaluation module is powered by a
TPA0242 stereo power amplifier capable of delivering greater than 2 W of
continuouspowerperchannelinto3-Ω loads. TheamplifierICcanbeoperated
in either the BTL or single-ended output mode. The evaluation module
includes control inputs for shutdown, selection between two sets of stereo
inputs, and switching between single-ended and bridge-tied load output
modes.
The module can be used with the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation
platform (Figure 3–1) or wired directly into circuits or equipment. The module
has single in-line header connector pins mounted to the under side of the
board. These pins allow the module to be plugged into the TI platform, which
automatically makes all the signal input and output, power, and control
connections to the module.
The module connection pins are on 0.1-inch centers to allow easy use with
standard perf board and plug board-based prototyping systems. Or, the EVM
can be wired directly into existing circuits and equipment when used stand-
alone.
The module appears in Figure 3–2 and its schematic is shown in Figure 3–3.

3.2.1 TPA0242 Audio Amplifier IC
The TPA0242 audio amplifier IC (Figure 3–4) is a CMOS device intended
primarily for bridge-tied load (BTL) operation in battery-powered applications.
It is supplied in a very small 24-pin TSSOP thermal surface-mount package
and has been designed to operate from low supply voltages (between
approximately 4.5 V and 5.5 V). Typical applications include portable
computers and multimedia systems.
The IC includes two separate amplifier channels, each of which can operate
in either the bridged-tied load (BTL) mode or the single-ended mode as
selected by the SE/BTL pin. In the BTL mode, the line inputs are automatically
selected and the two output lines of each channel operate as mirror images
of each other for increased power. The speaker load is connected directly
across OUT+ and OUT–, and neither line is connected to ground. BTL
operation provides many benefits, including quadruple the output power of
single-ended operation and no need for bulky output coupling capacitors.
In the single-ended mode, the headphone inputs are automatically selected
and the speaker load is connected between the OUT+ terminal, through an
output coupling capacitor, to system ground. For more information, see the
TPA0242 amplifier IC data sheet, TI literature number SLOS287.

3.2.2 Inputs and Gain
Each channel has two separate signal inputs, line and headphone (HP), that
are automatically selected with the output mode (SE/BTL). An input multi-
plexor in the amplifier IC selects the HP inputs when the IC is in the SE output
mode and the line inputs when in the BTL output mode.
Line and headphone inputs share common positive inputs. If using separate
line and headphone inputs, R IN and L IN should be AC grounded through a
capacitor. If using differential inputs, line and headphone inputs must be the
same.
A third input, PC BEEP, is common to both channels. The TPA0242 IC
monitors this input when operating in both the active and shutdown modes and
automatically switches to this input when a signal is sensed. In computer
applications, for example, this allows the normal audio signal (music, sounds,
etc.) to be interrupted when there is a need to output a computer beep. When
the beep signal ends, the IC switches back to the previous mode.
The PC BEEP input gain is approximately 1/4 V/V, and requires an input signal
greater than 1 V peak-to-peak in order to detect the signal. Setting PCB
ENABLE high forces the TPA0242 IC into the PC BEEP mode, regardless of
the amplitude of the signal applied to the PC BEEP input.

Since the overall gain of the amplifier is set by the internal preamp stage and
not by the power amplifier stage, the TPA0242 maintains the same total
harmonic distortion (THD) at even the highest gain settings.
3.2.3 Differential Input
The TPA0242 line inputs allow the use of a single-ended or differential audio
source. The differential input stage of the amplifier cancels any noise that
appears on both input lines of a channel. To use the TPA0242 EVM with a
differentialsource, connectthepositiveleadoftheaudiosourcetotheRLINE–
(L LINE–) input and the negative lead from the audio source to the R IN+
(L IN+) input. To use the TPA0242 with a single-ended source, ac-ground the
R IN+ and L IN+ inputs and apply the audio signal to the R LINE– and L LINE–
inputs. Line and headphone inputs share common positive inputs. If using
separate line and headphone inputs, R IN+ and L IN+ should be ac-grounded.
If using differential inputs, line and headphone inputs must be the same. In a
single-ended input application, the R IN+ and L IN+ inputs should be ac
grounded at the audio source instead of at the device inputs for best noise
performance.

3.2.4 Depop Circuitry
The TPA0242 amplifier IC contains internal circuitry to minimize the various
transients that might appear at the output during the transition from power off
or shutdown to normal operation, or when transitioning between the SE and
BTL modes.
3.2.5 BTL Operation
To operate in the bridge-tied load output mode, the module SE/BTL control
input terminal must be held low. The module output signal from OUT+ must go
through the speaker load and be returned directly to OUT–, and NOT to
system ground. This requires that the OUT– line be isolated not only from
system ground, but also from the OUT– lines of any other amplifiers in the
system. The platform provides such isolated output lines from the amplifier
EVM sockets directly to separate left and right speaker connectors.
3.2.6 Single-Ended Operation
For single-ended operation, the module SE/BTL control input pin must be held
high. The speaker (or headphone) load is connected to the module OUT+
output pin through a coupling capacitor, and to platform/system ground. A
470-µF electrolytic coupling capacitor is provided on the platform in the signal
path to the headphone output jack for this purpose, and a control signal from
the platform headphone jack can be routed to the module control input pin to
switch the TPA0242 IC to the single-ended mode.
In the single-ended mode, the amplifiers inside the TPA0242 IC that drive the
OUT– lines do not operate and do not dissipate any power. The OUT– pins go
into a high-impedance state and can be left connected or allowed to float.

Using The TPA0242 EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform
3.3 Using The TPA0242 EVM With the Plug-N-Play Evaluation Platform
The TPA0242 audio amplifier evaluation module was designed to be used with
the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform. It simply plugs into
socket U2.
The following paragraphs provide additional details for using the TPA0242
EVM with the platform.
3.3.1 Installing and Removing EVM Boards
TI plug-n-play evaluation modules use single-in-line header pins installed on
the underside of the module circuit board to plug into sockets on the platform.
The EVM pins and the platform sockets are keyed such that only the correct
type of EVM can be installed in a particular socket, and then only with the
proper orientation.
Evaluation modules are easily removed from the platform by simply prying
them up and lifting them out of their sockets. Care must be taken, however, to
prevent bending the pins.
3.3.1.1 EVM Insertion
1) Remove all power from the evaluation platform.
2) Locate socket U2 on the platform.
3) Orient the module correctly.
4) Carefully align the pins of the module with the socket pin receptacles.
5) Gently press the module into place.
6) Check to be sure that all pins are seated properly and that none are bent
over.
3.3.1.2 EVM Removal
1) Remove all power from the evaluation platform.
2) Using an appropriate tool as a lever, gently pry up one side of the module
a small amount.
3) Change to the opposite side of the module and use the tool to pry that side
up a small amount.
4) Alternate between sides, prying the module up a little more each time to
avoid bending the pins, until it comes loose from the socket.
5) Lift the EVM off the platform.

3.3.2 TPA0242 Module Jumper Settings and Switches
The TPA0242 EVM is equipped with a pushbutton SPST switch and a jumper
that acts as an SPST switch to allow module operation to be modified to suit
various requirements. In the following discussion, setting a jumper to ON
means that a shunt is installed across the two pins of the jumper. Setting a
jumper to OFF means that no shunt is installed on the jumper. See Figure 3.5.
In typical applications, some or all of the jumper functions are controlled by the
system microcontroller or external logic.

The TPA0242 amplifier IC has two separate inputs for each channel. An
internal multiplexor selects which input will be connected to the amplifier
based on the state of the SE/BTL pin on the IC.
3.3.2.3 S3 — Input Mode Jumper

3.3.3.1 Signal Conditioning
The audio signal from the input jacks can be applied to the signal conditioning
socket (U1) if an EVM is installed there, or socket U1 can be bypassed and the
audio input signal applied directly to the inputs of the TPA0242.
Switch S2 selects signal conditioning or bypasses it.
3.3.3.2 Headphone Output Jack
Switch S3 is the source select for the stereo headphone output jack, J10. The
headphone jack is capacitively coupled (via 470 µF electrolytics) and can
output either the signal from the headphone amplifier in socket U5, or the
signal from the TPA0242 power amplifier installed in socket U2, as determined
by the setting of headphone source select switch S3.
When S3 is set to the power amplifier position (U2 – U4), the headphone jack
is connected to the TPA0242 power amplifier OUT+ output lines. When a plug
is inserted into the jack, signals output through J10 are returned to platform
ground, requiring single-ended power amplifier operation. A switch inside the
headphone jack produces a control signal that can be routed to the power
amplifier socket to shut down the TPA0242 EVM or switch it to single-ended
output mode when a plug is inserted.
Source select switch S3 connects the headphone jack to the output lines of
either the headphone amplifier socket U5, or the power amplifier sockets
(U2 – U4).
To keep the TPA0242 amplifier outputs separated, set switchS3 to the
headphone amplifier position (U5) and use the speaker outputs (J7,
J8, and J9)
To route the TPA0242 amplifier outputs to the headphone output jack
(J10), set switch S3 to the power amplifier position (U2 – U4) — use
this setting only if the TPA0242 EVM is to drive single-ended loads
connected to J10

3.3.4 Mute (Shutdown)/Mode
The TPA0242 EVM is equipped with a shutdown control input pin. When this
input is pulled to ground, the TPA0242 amplifier IC on the module enters the
shutdown mode and dissipates very little power. While in the shutdown mode,
the PC BEEP input is still active. When the EVM control input is tied to GND
or allowed to float, normal amplifier operation resumes.
In typical applications, as often found in notebook computers, portable audio
products, and such, the internal speakers mute when headphones are
plugged into the headphone jack, or internal speakers mute when external
speakers are connected. In applications using separate speaker and
headphone amplifiers, the one not being used can be shut down to conserve
power.
A mode control input pin on the EVM switches the TPA0242 amplifier IC
between the bridge-tied load (BTL) output mode and the single-ended (SE)
outputmode. WhenthemodecontrolinputistiedtoGND, themoduleoperates
in the BTL output mode. When this input is tied to V , the module operates
DD
in the single-ended output mode.
In the typical application, output mode switching allows the TPA0242 to
operate in the BTL output mode for increased power to internal speakers and
then switch to single-ended mode to drive headphones when a plug is inserted
into the headphone jack.
3.3.4.1 Headphone Jack Control Signals
The platform headphone output jack (J10) contains an internal switch that
changesthestateofapairofcontrollineswhenaplugisinserted(Figure3–7).
Each control line is pulled down by a 1-kΩ resistor to ground (R4 and R5). The
switch in the headphone jack pulls one line or the other up to V
through a

Power Requirements
3.3.5 Power Requirements
The TPA0242 audio power amplifier evaluation module can operate from any
voltage between approximately 4.5 V and 5.5 V; however, the TPA0242
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 approximately 5 V unless there is a specific reason for
operating it from a different voltage.
The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform with a voltage regulator
EVM installed on it can provide a regulated V
supply from a wide variety of
DD
unregulated V
voltage inputs between approximately 5.5 V and 12 V,
CC
including an onboard 9-V battery. Or, an external regulated power source can
be used to supply V voltage to the platform and the TPA0242 evaluation
DD
module installed on it.
Although the TPA0242 amplifier IC draws approximately 0.65 A from the
power supply during continuous full power output, peak current draw can be
as high as 1 A. Any power supply connected to the platform should be capable
of providing 1 A of current to avoid clipping of the output signal during peaks.
Current consumption driving speakers at normal listening levels is typically
0.3 A or less.
The platform is equipped with overvoltage and reverse-polarity supply voltage
input protection in the form of fused crowbar circuits.
V
voltage applied to platform screw terminals J6 MUST NOT exceed
DD
the absolute maximum rating for the TPA0242 amplifier IC installed on the
evaluation module (6 V) or damage to the IC may result. In no case should
V
voltage of the incorrect polarity or in excess of 6.1 V be applied to
DD
screw terminals J6 of the platform, or the power protection circuit on the
V
line will trip.
DD
V
voltage applied to the platform MUST NOT exceed the maximum
CC
voltage input specified for the voltage regulator module installed in socket
U6 (12 V for the SLVP097), or damage to the voltage regulator module
may result. In no case should V
voltage applied to the platform exceed
CC
15 V, or the overvoltage protection circuit on the V
bus will trip.

Inputs and Outputs
3.3.6 Inputs and Outputs
The TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform is equipped with several
standard conectors for audio inputs and outputs.
3.3.6.1 Inputs
In most cases, audio signals enter the platform through either a pair of RCA
phono jacks (J3 and J5) or a miniature (1/8″) stereo phone jack (J4). Certain
signal conditioning and amplifier EVMs, however, may have additional signal
inputconnectorsmountedonthemodulecircuitboard. TheTPA0242EVMhas
a special PC BEEP signal input pin (TP2) on the top of the module PCB.
The platform audio signal input jacks (J3, J4, and J5) are of the closed-circuit
type, grounding the signal input lines when no plugs are inserted.
3.3.6.2 Outputs
Amplified audio output signals leave the platform through left and right RCA
phono jacks (J7 and J9), left and right pairs of compression connectors for
stripped speaker wires (J8), and optionally, through a miniature (1/8″) stereo
phone jack (J10), for headphones.
The audio output lines from the power amplifiers are separate all the way to
the edge of the platform (output jacks J7, J8, and J9) — the OUT– lines from
the power amplifier sockets are not tied to each other or to platform ground.
This allows the TPA0242 power amplifier EVM to operate in the highly-efficient
bridge-tied load configuration when driving speakers.
The headphone jack (J10) is capacitively coupled to source select switch S3,
which connects J10 to the output lines of either the headphone amplifier
socket or the power amplifier sockets (Figure 3–6). When the TPA0242 output
signal is routed to J10 by S3, signals output via J10 are returned to platform
ground when a plug is inserted (Figure 3–8), requiring single-ended operation
of the power amplifiers.

Using The TPA0242 EVM Stand-Alone
3.4 Using The TPA0242 EVM Stand-Alone
Using the TPA0242 audio power amplifier evaluation module stand-alone is
much the same as using it with the platform. The same 4.5-V to 5.5-V power
supply range and the isolated OUT+ and OUT– lines for BTL operation
requirement exists.
Note that the shutdown signal applied to the EVM SHUTDOWN pin must be
able to supply enough current to overcome the pullup resistor on the module
(100 kΩ).
