Operation

Quick start lists in this chapter contain steps that can be followed to quickly
prepare the TI plug-n-play audio amplifier evaluation platform for use with the
TPA0172 audio amplifier EVM, or to connect the TPA0172 audio amplifier
EVM for stand-alone operation.
Using the TPA0172 audio amplifier evaluation module with the TI evaluation
platform is a quick and easy way to connect power, signal and control inputs,
and signal outputs to the EVM, using standard connectors.
The TPA0172 audio amplifier evaluation module can also be used stand-alone
by making connections directly to the module pins, and it can be wired directly
into existing circuits or equipment. A stand-alone connection diagram appears
below.
A schematic, parts list, I

C interface information, and PCB and layer
illustrations for the EVM are included in the Reference section of this chapter.
