4 TPA33 CLASS-D AUDIO AMPLIFIER BOARD USER S GUIDE Chapter. Overview. Overview Welcome to use this *8W amplifier board from Sure Electronics. Sure has developed many Class-D amplifiers such as 0.5W, W, 5W, 5W, 50W, 00W and one-channel, dual-channel, four-channel amplifiers to meet different requirements of customers. As a new member of class-d amplifier series, this *8W amplifier board also employs TPA33D chip from TI just as *5W does but is much smaller. It supports dual channel amplification and each such channel is rated at 8W which helps producing state-of-the-art sound quality. The efficiency of the TPA33D eliminates the need for an external heat sink when playing music. Besides, integrating high-quality SMD and MKP plug-in capacitors ensures Hi-Fi amplification output. This amplifier can readily be powered by any DC power supply ranging from +0 to 6V. You can use it to drive any 4Ω or 8Ω passive speakers. It s an ideal choice for electronic hobbyists and audio enthusiasts. FIGURE - PRODUCT DIAGRAM Sure Electronics Inc. AA-AB34_Ver.0_Page

Maximum 4 amplifiers are recommended to be connected in series.. Remember to use AWG-compliant cable or equivalent for series connection..5 Mute Settings To mute the output audio signal, connect VDD and MUTE of the terminal block with a piece of lead. Usually, MUTE shall be left unconnected Sure Electronics Inc. AA-AB34_Ver.0_Page 7

11 TPA33 Class-D Audio Amplifier Board FIGURE -5 MUTE SETTINGS TABLE -5 MUTE SETTINGS Connector Mark Description J3 MUTE When MUTE is connected with VDD, both channels will be muted and enter into idle mode. When connected to ground or left unconnected, both channels will resume regular operation. Note:. Please power the amplifier board with DC 0-6V.. Never connect MUTE to any power supply or voltage higher than VDD..6 Sleep Settings To enable sleep setting, connect VDD and SD of the terminal block with a piece of lead. Usually, SD shall be left unconnected. FIGURE -6 SLEEP SETTINGS AA-AB34_Ver.0_Page Sure Electronics Inc

Hardware Detail TABLE -6 SLEEP SETTINGS Connector Mark Description J3 SD When SD is connected with VDD, both channels will be set to SLEEP and enter low-power-consumption working mode.

12 Hardware Detail TABLE -6 SLEEP SETTINGS Connector Mark Description J3 SD When SD is connected with VDD, both channels will be set to SLEEP and enter low-power-consumption working mode. When connected to ground or left unconnected, both channels will resume regular operation. Note: SD means that the chip works with low power consumption. MUTE means that the chip normally works with no output..7 Gain Settings The on-board -slide DIP switch, which is marked as SW, is used to set the gain of amplifier board. The two slides are marked as K, K respectively. The following table lists the gain values on different settings: FIGURE -7 GAIN SETTINGS TABLE -7 GAIN SETTINGS Settings Amplification Gain K K Gain Level Power Gain (db) Typical ON ON Weak 0 OFF ON Low 6 ON OFF Medium 3 OFF OFF High 36 Note:. High: Portable MP3/CD player with built-in volume control Medium and low: General-purpose use Weak: Preamplifier with fairly high output signal Sure Electronics Inc. AA-AB34_Ver.0_Page 9

13 TPA33 Class-D Audio Amplifier Board. Different gain levels correspond to different input sensitivities. Improper selection will cause the audio distortion or even damage the amplifier board. 3. No preamplifier or other devices are needed for gain settings. We won t assume any responsibility for the damage caused by connecting extra devices..8 DC Offset Capacitive coupling output is applied to ensure no DC offset output..9 LED Indicators This amplifier has one power LED indicator which is marked as Power (D). The power indicator will be illuminated in green when power-up. Please refer to the connection schematic of the board for the LED location. FIGURE -8 LED INDICATOR.0 Volume Control No potentiometer is provided for manually adjusting the volume. The volume control of sound source like MP3 player or PC can be used to adjust the loudness of the audio output or a 50KΩ potentiometer can be installed by users themselves, but it may cause signal attenuation. To compensate that attenuation, adjusting the gain value is required. You may refer to.7 Gain setting for details. Please be aware that audio clippings may occur to some portable players because of the audio source not the amplifier itself. Please increase the input gain of amplifier board.. Notes In order to protect amplifier board and extend its service lifetime, please read the following warnings carefully since warranties will be voided if you do not observe the following warnings: Warning : AA-AB34_Ver.0_Page Sure Electronics Inc

14 Hardware Detail Quality-related issues caused by potentiometers installed by buyers. Warning : In order to achieve a better sound quality, please use stable power supply since a bad or unstable power supply may worsen the sound quality or even cripple the amplifier board. Warning 3: Never equip a pre-amplifier to the audio input since the amplifier itself has powerful amplification ability and a high signal input will burn out the amplifier chip. Warning 4: In order to protect amplifier and speaker, please turn the volume output to the minimum when hooking up the amplifier and you may readjust the volume when you are sure that the amplifier is functioning properly Sure Electronics Inc.
