2.2 Quick Start List for Platform

Follow these steps when using the TPA2010D1 EVM with the TI Plug-N-Play audio amplifier evaluation platform (see the platform user’s guide, SLOU011, for additional details).

-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 TPA2010D1 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 Lo.

5)Set jumper JP6 to select the mute control input. Jumper, J1, on the TPA2010D1 EVM must be open to allow the TPA2010D1 to shutdown if a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.

Table 2−2. Platform Jumper and Switch Settings for the TPA2010D1 EVM

EVM	JP6	JP7	JP8	S2	S3
TPA2010D1	Mute	X	Lo	See Note 2	X

Notes: 1) X = Don’t care

2)Set S2 to On when signal conditioning board is installed in U1; set S2 to Off when no signal conditioning board is installed.

-Power supply

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,

b)Install a voltage regulator EVM (SLVP097 or equivalent.) in platform socket U6. Install a 9-V battery in B1 or connect a 7 V−12 V power

source to a platform VCC power input J1 or J2 and jumper the appropri- ate power input (see platform user’s guide).

-Inputs and outputs

7)Ensure that signal source level is set to minimum.

8)Connect the audio source to left (J5) or right (J3) RCA phono jacks, or both if using two TPA2010D1 modules, or to stereo miniature phone jack (J4).

9)Connect 4-Ωto 32-Ωspeakers to left (J9) or right (J7) RCA jacks, or both if using two TPA2010D1 modules, or to stripped wire connector (J8).

-Power Up

10)Verify correct voltage and input polarity and set the external power supply

to ON. If VCC and an on-board regulator EVM are used to provide VDD, set platform power switch S1 to On.

Platform LED2 lights, indicating the presence of VDD, and the evaluation modules installed on the platform begin operation.

11) Adjust the signal source level as needed.
