Purpose of This Document
This user's guide describes how to use the TAS5601 evaluation module (EVM) to evaluate performance of
the TAS5601 device. The document contains the following.
• Details of how to properly set up an MC5601 modulator kit.
• Details of how to install and use the GUI to program the TAS5601
The TAS5601EVM evaluation module (EVM) demonstrates the TAS5601 device from Texas Instruments.
The TAS5601 contains a class-D audio power amplifier. For detailed information about the TAS5601
device, review the device data sheet (SLAS585) . The TAS5601 is designed to drive two 8- Ω loudspeakers
at up to 20 W per channel (10% THD+N) in BTL configuration from an 18-V supply. Figure 2 shows a
picture of the MC5601 modulator kit. The MC5601 provides power, data, and I
2
C control to the
TAS5601EVM board.
The EVM software with its graphic user interface facilitates evaluation by providing access to the TAS5601
registers through a USB port. Refer to the Using the EVM Software section for further details.
Figure 1 shows a picture of the TAS5601EVM evaluation module.
