TAS2563: Dev kits for TAS2563, TAS2557

Hi Børge,

Our EVMs basically require a USB connection to the PC, which runs PurePath Console 3 and the EVM-specific plugin. There is an onboard USB-to-I2S/I2C controller that interfaces with Windows and PPC3 to send both the required configuration and audio data.
You can use PPC3 and TAS2563/TAS2557 plugin offline (no EVM connected) so you can also have a better understanding of what are the available features on each version. (I just granted you access to PPC3 and all 3 plugin versions)

TAS2563 is the latest smartamp generation with some improvements in terms of speaker protection algorithm compared to TAS2557. It comes in two different packages, and the DSP capabilities are different for each one; QFN package features larger count of processing tools.

Regarding the hardware required for evaluation, you can refer to this list:

• TAS2563 QFN
  • TAS2X63EVM Evaluation board | TI.com
• TAS2563 WCSP
  • PPC3-EVM-MB Evaluation board | TI.com
  • TAS2563YBGEVM-DC Evaluation board | TI.com
• TAS2557
  • TAS2557EVM Evaluation board | TI.com
• If you need to run speaker characterization, you also need a learning board
  • PP-SALB2-EVM Evaluation board | TI.com

You can refer to user's guide of each piece of hardware, in addition to the set of documentation available in TAS2563 and TAS2557 product folders:

• TAS2557 data sheet, product information and support | TI.com
• TAS2563 data sheet, product information and support | TI.com
