1.2 Description
The TPA301 audio power amplifier evaluation module is a complete, low-pow-
er single-channel audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA301 350-mW
low-voltage audio power amplifier IC along with a small number of other parts
mounted on a circuit board that is approximately one and a quarter inches
square (Figure 1–1).

Single in-line header pins are mounted to 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 pair of TPA301 evaluation modules and is a
convenient vehicle for demonstrating TI’s audio power amplifier and related
evaluation modules. The EVMs simply plug into the platform, which auto-
matically 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 to hook up.
