Hi
In the data sheet it is writen that the amp can provide 3.2W from each port.
I am using its EVM and connecting the vdd to power supply that is set on 5V and connect 8ohm 5W speaker..
Using the EVM software (TPA2026D2 interface) I increase the all gain bars to max and I see that the current from the supplier is only 10mA.
neglecting the losses inside the TPA2026D2 the power is around 0.05W this can explain the very weak sound I get from my speaker but I cant understand why I cant make it louder.
when connecting one output to one input I see 16mA and louder sound but still very far from 3W.
what am I doing wrong? why cant I get 3W from this component.
am I measuring something wrong?
Regards,
