TPA3251 Evaluation Module
NOTE:
The SE input settings on the TPA3251EVM must only be used for channels with output
configuration BTL or PBTL,
not
SE. For SE output configuration, the user must set either
jumper J4 or J19 (or both) for that channel to the DIFF position so that the input signal INx is
mapped directly to OUTx.

Input Connectors
The TPA3251EVM supports three different input connectors. J3, J14, J15, and J18 are RCA connectors;
J10 and J12 are Molex connectors; and J28 is the AIB connector with J30 being the AIB alignment
connection.
