Quick Start List for Stand-Alone

2.3 Quick Start List for Stand-Alone

Follow these steps to use the TPA0202 EVM stand-alone or when connecting it into existing circuits or equipment. Connections to the TPA0202 module header pins can be made via individual sockets, wire-wrapping, or soldering to the pins, either on the top or the bottom of the module circuit board. Numbered callouts for selected steps are shown in Figure 2±3 and details appear in Chapter 3.

-Power supply

1)Ensure that all external power sources are set to OFF.

2)Connect an external regulated power supply set to 5 V to the module VDD and GND pins taking care to observe marked polarity. Separate right channel and left channel VDD supplies can be connected, or a single supply can be used for both.

-Inputs and outputs

3)Ensure that audio signal source level adjustments are set to minimum.

4)Connect the audio source to the module RIN/LIN and GND or RHP/LHP and GND pins of each channel taking care to observe marked polarity.

5)Select output mode:

a)For BTL output, connect an 3-Ω± 8-Ωspeaker to the module OUT+ OUT± pins of each channel,

or

b)For single-ended output, connect a headphone or an 3-Ω± 8-Ω

speaker to the module OUT+ and GND pins of each channel through a 33 μF to 1000 μF output-coupling capacitor (Figure 3±10).
