TAS5414 and TAS5424 Evaluation Module
The TAS5414/TAS5424 evaluation module (EVM) is intended to be used to demonstrate the device's
capabilities. All the device’s features can be accessed through the hardware and the software graphical
user interface (GUI) supplied. This user's guide contains a description of the EVM and the GUI. Included
are the EVM schematic, bill of materials, and the board layout.
This section provides a guide to set up and power up the EVM without the details in its operation. For
a more detailed operation, read the complete guide.
The EVM consists of single printed-circuit board (PCB) mounted inside a metal chassis for EMC testing.
The EVM must have an I
2
C controller board to function. The USB-to-I
2
C controller PCB connects to a
personal computer (PC) through an USB cable. The EVM connects to the I
2
C controller PCB through the
supplied 6 pin DIN cable included in the EVM package. The PC needs the graphical user interface (GUI)
software to control the EVM. The GUI, this document, and any necessary documents are all on the
included CD.
The software is located on the CD that is included with the EVM package. Run the setup.exe program
located in the TAS54x4 GUI directory to install the GUI. For more details, read chapter 3.
The connections are for an analog signal at the input, speaker loads, power, and I
2
C. The audio inputs are
made through the four RCA connectors. The I
2
C control signals are made through the 6-pin DIN
connector. The power connectors and speaker connectors are made using the 10-pin connector.
The basic connections are: PVDD or power is connected to the EVM through the supplied 10-pin
connector with the twisted red and black wires. The speakers or loads are connected through the same
10-pin connector with the twisted red and white wires. The 6-pin DIN is connected to the I
2
C-to-USB
adapter board. See the
for details.
