Chapter 2

Quick Start

The steps in this chapter can be followed to quickly prepare the TPA6011A4 audio amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA6011A4 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 TPA6011A4 EVM and will cause the TPA6011A4 to switch to single-ended out- put mode when a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.
