2.2 Quick Start List for Platform
Follow these steps when using the TPA0242 EVM with the TI plug-n-play audio
amplifier evaluation platform (see the platform user’s guide, SLOU011, for
additional details). Numbered callouts for selected steps are shown in Figure
2–1 and Figure 2–2, and details appear in Chapter 3.
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 TPA0242 module in platform socket U2, 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

Hi.

5) Set jumper JP6 to select the

Mode

control input (causes the TPA0242 to
switch to the single-ended output mode if a plug is inserted into platform
headphone jack J10).
6) If the headphone jack (J10) output will be used, set headphone source
switch S3 to U2–U4.

when no signal conditioning board is installed.
Power supply
7) Select and connect the power supply (ensure power supply is set to
OFF
):
a) Connect an external regulated power supply set to 5 V to platform VDD
power input connector J6 taking care to observe marked polarity,
or
b) Install a voltage regulator EVM (SL VP097 or equiv .) in platform socket
U6. Connect a 7 V – 12 V power source to a platform VCC power input
J1 or J2 and jumper the appropriate power input (see platform user’s
guide).
Inputs and outputs
8) Ensure that the audio signal source level is set to minimum.
9) Connect the audio source to left and right RCA phono jacks J3 and J5 or
stereo miniature phone jack J4.
10) Connect speakers to left and right RCA jacks J7 and J9 or to stripped wire
speaker connectors J8.
