Using The TPA032D03 Class-D EVM Stand-Alone

3.7 Using The TPA032D03 Class-D EVM Stand-Alone

Using the TPA032D03 mono class-D audio power amplifier evaluation module stand-alone is much the same as using it with the platform. The same 9-V to 14-V power supply range and the isolated OUT+ and OUT± lines for BTL operation requirements exist. Inserting a plug into the EVM headphone jack switches the EVM to the headphone mode and shuts down the class-D amplifier section. Figure 3±3 shows the connections that are required for operation (with the exception of the fault monitor circuit, which is optional). The discussion in this section is in reference to this figure unless otherwise noted.

3.7.1Power Connections

Power must be connected to both the VCC and VDD module pins. Power supply ground can be connected to any module ground pin, although best results are achieved if power supply grounds are connected to the pins adjacent to the VCC and VDD module pins. The ground and power wires should be twisted to reduce inductance and noise pickup if they are long.

SLOU082 specifications

Texas Instruments SLOU082 is a technical document primarily focused on the TPS7A47 device, which is an enhanced, low-noise linear voltage regulator designed for world-class performance in sensitive analog applications. This document explains the features, technologies, and characteristics that set the TPS7A47 apart in the industry.

One of the main features of the TPS7A47 is its ultra-low output noise, boasting a remarkable specification of just 1.2 μVRMS across a bandwidth of 10 Hz to 100 kHz. This characteristic makes it an ideal choice for high-precision, low-noise applications such as RF and audio signal processing, where minimizing noise is crucial for system performance. Additionally, the device offers a wide output voltage range from 1.4 V to 20 V, providing flexibility in various applications.

The TPS7A47 operates with a maximum output current of 1 A, enabling it to support multiple loads efficiently. Its dropout voltage is impressively low, particularly at light load conditions, ensuring high-efficiency performance in battery-powered applications. This aspect significantly extends battery life, making it suitable for portable devices.

Another highlight is the PowerPAD package offered for the TPS7A47, which enhances thermal performance and simplifies PCB design. The integration of thermal protection ensures the regulator operates safely under various conditions, preventing potential damage due to overheating.

The TPS7A47 also includes features such as reverse current protection, which prevents current from flowing back into the input when the output voltage exceeds the input voltage. This feature enhances reliability and extends the longevity of the device in various circuit configurations.

In terms of control, the TPS7A47 utilizes a low-dropout architecture, ensuring steady voltage regulation with minimal input-to-output voltage differential. It also supports a wide range of capacitor types, which allows for flexibility in component selection in layout design.

Overall, the Texas Instruments SLOU082 document on the TPS7A47 provides detailed insights into one of the most effective voltage regulation solutions available today. With exceptional noise performance, a versatile voltage range, robust thermal management, and reliability characteristics, the TPS7A47 is an exemplary choice for engineers and designers aiming to achieve high-performance analog systems.
