Introduction
1.2 Description
The TPA311 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module is a complete, low-
power single-channel audio power amplifier. It consists of the TI TPA311
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 TPA311 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.”
