Operation
This section describes the TPA3136D2EVM board in regards to power supply and system interfaces.
Information regarding handling and unpacking, absolute operating conditions, and a description of the
factory default switch and jumper configuration are provided.
The following is a step-by-step guide to configuring the TPA3136D2EVM for device evaluation.
2.1
Electrostatic Discharge Warning
Many of the components on the TPA3136D2EVM are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Customers are advised to observe proper ESD handling precautions when unpacking and handling
the EVM, including the use of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
CAUTION
Failure to observe ESD handling procedures may result in damage to EVM
components.
2.2
Unpacking the EVM
On opening the TPA3136D2EVM package, ensure that the following item is included:
•
1 piece TPA3136D2EVM board using one TPA3136D2
If this item is missing, contact the Texas Instruments Product Information Center nearest you to inquire
about a replacement.
2.3
Power Supply Setup
A single power supply is required to power up the EVM. Since most of the pins are PVCC-compliant, the
PVCC supply can also be used to power the analog supply (AVCC) and can be used to pull up the logic
pins for shutdown (SD) control, and fault detection (FAULT).

Evaluation Module Preparations
Prepare the EVM in the following manner:
1. Ensure that the external power source is set to OFF.
2. Connect the external regulated power supply adjusted from 4.5 V to 14.4 V to the module PVCC and
GND banana jacks taking care to observe marked polarity.
