1.2 Description  
The TPA6030A4 stereo 3-W audio power amplifier evaluation module is  
designed to demonstrate all of the different features and benefits of the  
TPA6030A4amplifier. ItconsistsoftheTITPA6030A4stereo3-Waudiopower  
amplifier IC along with a small number of other parts mounted on a circuit  
board that measures approximately 2 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches (Figure 11).  
Figure 11. The TI TPA6030A4 Audio Amplifier Evaluation Module  
Single in-line header pins extend from the underside of the module circuit  
board to allow the EVM to be plugged into the TI Plug-N-Play audio amplifier  
evaluation platform, or to be wired directly into existing circuits and equipment  
when used stand-alone.  
The platform has room for a single TPA6030A4 evaluation module and is a  
convenient vehicle for demonstrating TIs audio power amplifier and related  
evaluation modules. The EVM simply plugs into the platform, which  
automatically provides power to the modules, interconnects them correctly,  
andconnectsthemtoaversatilearrayofstandardaudioinputandoutputjacks  
and connectors. Easy-to-use configuration controls allow the platform and  
EVMs to quickly model many possible end-equipment configurations.  
There is nothing to build, nothing to solder, and nothing but the speakers  
included with the platform to hook up.

Special Notes Regarding the Data Sheet  
1.4 Special Notes Regarding the Data Sheet  
The TPA6036A4EVM may have markings not consistent with the data sheet.  
Some EVMs have an incorrect supply voltage marked on them. The correct  
supply range is 7 V to 15 V, not 5 V to 15 V.  
The EVM and this users guide refer to the two input pins as HP and LINE, and  
refer to the control pin as HP/LINE. The data sheet refers to the two inputs as  
IN2 and IN1, respectively, and the control pin as IN2/IN1.  
See the data sheet for the correct voltages and pin names.

Introduction  
 
Chapter 2  
Quick Start  
The steps in this chapter can be followed to quickly prepare the TPA6030A4  
audio amplifier EVM for use. Using the TPA6030A4 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 TI Plug-N-Play platform supplies a 5-V regulated voltage that is designed  
to allow devices with an SE/BTL pin to automatically switch to SE output mode  
when a headphone is inserted into the headphone jack. The SE/BTL pin on  
the TPA6030A4 is designed to switch high when the voltage applied to the pin  
meets or exceeds 0.8 V , requiring a minimum of 5.6 V when the power  
CC  
supply is at 7 V. This is more than the platform can supply, and consequently,  
the automatic SE/BTL toggle feature of the TI Plug-N-Play platform is not fully  
compatible with the TPA6030A4EVM. However, the output mode can be  
manually changed with the use of J1 on the TPA6030A4EVM (see Table 22).  
Refer to the application section of the TPA6030A4 data sheet for more  
information about building a circuit that automatically switches output modes  
when a headphone is inserted.  
The jumper and switch settings on the TI Plug-N-Play platform do not change  
with different V  
levels.

2.2 Quick Start List for Platform  
Follow these steps when using the TPA6030A4EVM with the TI Plug-N-Play  
audio amplifier evaluation platform (see the platform users guide, SLOU011,  
for additional details). Numbered callouts for selected steps are shown in  
Figure 21 and Figure 22:  
Note:  
The TI Plug-N-Play platform sends the input signal to both the HP and LINE  
inputs automatically, and only to the positive inputs. To fully take advantage  
oftheTPA6030A4differentialinputaswellastheinputmodeselectablemux,  
the EVM should be used in a stand-alone fashion.

10) The SE jumper, J1, is used to select between the two output modes, SE  
and BTL. To allow the module SE/BTL control input to force the amplifier  
IC into a BTL output mode, set output mode jumper J1 to OFF. To keep  
the module amplifier IC in the single-ended output mode regardless of the  
control input state, set jumper J1 to ON.  
11) The HP jumper, J2, is used to select between the two input modes, HP and  
LINE. To keep the amplifier IC in LINE input mode, set J2 to OFF. To keep  
the amplifier IC in the HP input mode, set jumper J2 to ON.  
- Power Up  
Platform LED1 should light indicating the presence of V , and the evaluation  
CC  
modules installed on the platform should begin operation.  
- Volume Control  
12) Potentiometer R1 (VOLUME) sets the BTL volume, which can range from  
40 dB to +36 dB using 2.53 dB steps. Turning the potentiometer  
clockwise increases the gain; turning counterclockwise decreases the  
gain. To mute the volume (80 dB), turn the poteniometer, R1, as far as  
it will go in a counterclockwise direction. Refer to Table 32 in the  
Reference chapter for a list of the volume levels.  
13) The SE volume may be set independently using potentiometers R2  
(SEDIFF) and R3 (SEMAX). SEDIFF set the difference between the BTL  
volume and the SE volume, while SEMAX sets the maximum volume in  
SE mode.  
14) Turning potentiometer R2 (SEDIFF) clockwise decreases the difference  
between SE and BTL volumes; counterclockwise increases the  
difference.  
15) Turning potentiometer R3 (SEMAX) clockwise increases the maximum  
SE volume; counterclockwise decreases the maximum SE volume.  
For more information on volume control operation, see the TPA6030A4 data  
sheet.

R LINE+ (or L LINE+) pins and the negative lead to the R LINE(or  
L LINE) pins. If using the headphone inputs, connect the positive audio  
source to the module R HP+ (L HP+) and the negative lead to R HP–  
(L HP). The inputs can be used with a differential or single-ended audio  
source. If stereo use is desired, connect both right and left inputs to the  
appropriate sources.  
5) Select output mode:  
a) For BTL output, connect a speaker to the module OUT+ and OUT–  
pins of each channel, (see Figure 24)  
or  
b) For single-ended output, connect a headphone or a speaker to the  
module OUT+ and GND pins of each channel through a 33 µF to  
1000 µF output-coupling capacitor (Figure 25).

6) To force the EVM into a BTL output mode, set jumper J1 to OFF. To force  
the EVM into a SE output mode, set jumper J1 to ON.  
7) To force the EVM into using the LINE inputs, set jumperJ2 to OFF. To force  
the EVM into using HP inputs, set jumper J2 to ON.  
- Control Inputs  
8) To allow the amplifier IC to switch from the LINE inputs to the HP inputs  
when the output switches from BTL output mode to SE output mode and  
vice versa, set jumper J3 to ON. To allow the inputs and output modes to  
switch independently, set jumper J3 to OFF. Connect control lines to the  
various module control input pins as needed.  
9) SE/BTL: A high voltage applied to this pin selects the SE output mode; a  
low voltage or float on this pin selects the BTL output mode. Refer to the  
TPA6030A4 data sheet for trip level information.  
10) SHUTDOWN: A low voltage applied to this pin shuts down the amplifier  
IC on the module; a high voltage or float on this pin allows normal  
operation. Refer to the TPA6030A4 data sheet for trip level information.  
- Power-Up  
11) Verify correct voltage and input polarity and set the external power supply  
to ON.  
The EVM should begin operation.  
- Volume Control  
12) Potentiometer R1 (VOLUME) sets the BTL volume, which can range from  
40 dB to +36 dB using 2.53 dB steps. Turning the potentiometer  
clockwise increases the volume; turning counterclockwise decreases the  
volume. To mute the volume (80 dB), turn the potentiometer, R1, as far  
as it will go in a counterclockwise direction. Refer to Table 32 in the  
Reference chapter for a list of the volume levels.  
13) The SE volume may be set independently using potentiometers R2  
(SEDIFF) and R3 (SEMAX). SEDIFF set the difference between the BTL  
volume and the SE volume, while SEMAX sets the maximum volume in  
SE mode.  
14) Turning potentiometer R2 (SEDIFF) clockwise decreases the difference  
between the volumes; counterclockwise increases the difference.  
15) Turning potentiometer R3 (SEMAX) clockwise increases the maximum  
SE volume; counterclockwise decreases the maximum SE volume.  
For more information on volume control operation, see the TPA6030A4 data  
sheet.
