Operation
Follow the steps in this chapter to prepare the TPA6203A1 audio amplifier
EVM for use. Using the TPA6203A1 EVM with the TI plug-n-play audio
amplifier evaluation platform is a q u ick 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 21 are typical for the
TPA6203A1 EVM. They cause the TPA6203A1 amplifier IC on the EVM to shut
down when a plug is inserted into platform headphone jack J10.

Notes: 1) X = Dont 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.
