TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CLASS-T DIGITAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER EVALUATION BOARD USING EB-TA0103 DIGITAL POWER PROCESSING TM TECHNOLOGY
January 2001, For Rev. 3.3 Board
The EB-TA0103 evaluation board is based on the TA0103A digital audio power amplifier from Tripath Technology. This board is designed to provide a simple and straightforward environment for the evaluation of the Tripath stereo TA0103A amplifier. This board can also be used in a bridged configuration for high power mono output.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Power Supply Description
There are three external power supplies required to operate this board: Vspos, Vsneg and +5V (see Figure 1). Vspos and Vsneg power the load and so must each be able to provide half of the desired output power, plus about 20% for overhead and margin. The TA0103A amplifier also requires a supply, VN12, that is 12V more positive than Vsneg and tracks Vneg. This evaluation board generates this VN12 voltage on-board. All input, output and power supply connections are made using tinned wire or female banana connectors (not shown). Though not required, the following powering-up sequence is usually adhered to during bench st nd rd evaluations: 1 ) +5V, 2 ) Vsneg and 3 ) Vspos (refer to the Turn-on/off Pop section). The positive and negative supply voltages do not have to match or track each other, but distortion or clipping levels will be determined by the lowest (absolute) supply voltage. For applications where VN12 is supplied separately, make sure this supply tracks the Vsneg as it becomes more negative with respect to ground. Once power is applied to the evaluation board, the green power light, LED 1, will illuminate. If it does not, power the u it down and recheck all connections and supplies. If the MUTE jumper is missing, the n LED will not illuminate. To un-mute, short pins 2 and 3 of JP5. Please note that until the Vspos and Vsneg have powered up and are within the undervoltage and overvoltage limits, the LED will be illuminated (assuming everything else is properly connected). Once the amplifier is switching, if the undervoltage or overvoltage limit is violated, LED 1 will turn off until supply voltages are within specification.
Input Connections
Audio input to the board is located at IN1 and IN2 (see Figures 1 and 2). The input can be a test signal or music source. Connections are made using tinned wired to IN1, IN2 and Analog Ground, AGND.
Output Connections
There are four female banana connectors on the evaluation board for speaker outputs OUT1, OUT2, and Power Grounds, GND1 and GND2 (see Figures 1 and 2). The TA0103A can be operated as a two channel single-ended amplifier, bridged mono output amplifier (see Figure 8) or with a passive crossover for a 2.1 channel application (refer to Application Note 13). Outputs can be any passive speaker(s) or test measurement equipment (see Application Note 4 "Parametric Measurements" for more information on bench testing). Note: To avoid board damage, the Analog Ground and Power Grounds should be kept separate. They are internally connected in the TA0103A amplifier.

Turn-on/off Pop
To avoid turn-on pops, bring the mute from a high to a low state after all power supplies have settled. To avoid turn-off pops, bring the mute from a low to a high state before turning off the supplies. The only issue with bringing up the 5V last or turning it off first is clicks/pops. If the mute line is properly toggled (slow turn-on, quick turn-off), then any power up sequence is fine. In practice, the 5V will usually collapse before Vspos and Vsneg. This is acceptable and will not cause any damage to the TA0103A.

Figure 3 Input Stage Figure 4 shows one channel of the Input Stage. The TA0103A amplifier is designed to accept unbalanced inputs and provide an overall gain of 9.8, or approximately 20 dB. Please note that the input stage of the TA0103A is biased at approximately 2.5VDC. Therefore, for an input signal centered around ground (0VDC), the polarity of the coupling capacitor, CI N , shown in Figure 4 is correct.
