Description 1.2 Description The TPA6203A1 audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete, low-power single-channel audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA6203A1 1.25-W low-voltage audio power amplifier IC in a very small MicroStar Junior BGA package, along with a small number of other parts mounted on a circuit board that is approximately one and a quarter inches square (see Figure 1–1). Figure 1–1. The TI TPA6203A1 Audio Amplifier Evaluation Module † Due to the very small size

TPA6203A1 EVM Specifications related evaluation modules. The EVMs simply plug into the platform, which automatically provides power to the modules, interconnects them correctly, and connects them to a versatile array of standard audio input and output jacks 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

Chapter 2  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 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 it can be wired directly into existing circuits or equ
