TPA6132A2RTER

Texas Instruments · Audio Power OpAmps · WQFN-16-EP(3x3)

TPA6132A2RTER from Texas Instruments, in a WQFN-16-EP(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 INL- input Inverting left input for differential signals; left input for single-ended signals. Input range 0 V to HPVDD+0.3 V.
2 INL+ input Non-inverting left input for differential signals. Connect to ground for single-ended input applications.
3 INR+ input Non-inverting right input for differential signals. Connect to ground for single-ended input applications.
4 INR- input Inverting right input for differential signals; right input for single-ended signals.
5 OUTR output Right headphone amplifier output. Connect to right terminal of headphone jack. DirectPath biased at 0 V DC.
6 G0 input Gain select bit 0. Logic input: VIH ≥ 1.3 V, VIL ≤ 0.6 V. Combined with G1 selects one of four gain settings: -6, 0, 3, or 6 dB.
7 G1 input Gain select bit 1. Logic input: VIH ≥ 1.3 V, VIL ≤ 0.6 V. Combined with G0 selects one of four gain settings: -6, 0, 3, or 6 dB.
8 HPVSS power_out Charge pump output and negative power supply for output amplifiers. Connect 1 µF capacitor to GND. Generated internally by the charge pump to enable DirectPath ground-referenced outputs.
9 CPN passive Charge pump negative flying capacitor. Connect to negative side of 1 µF flying capacitor between CPP and CPN.
10 PGND power_in Power ground for the charge pump and output stage.
11 CPP passive Charge pump positive flying capacitor. Connect to positive side of 1 µF flying capacitor between CPP and CPN.
12 HPVDD power_in Positive power supply for headphone amplifiers (max 1.9 V; internally regulated). Connect 2.2 µF decoupling capacitor. Do NOT connect to VDD or an external supply.
13 EN input Amplifier enable. Connect logic low to shutdown (<1 µA supply); connect logic high (VIH ≥ 1.3 V) to activate the amplifier.
14 VDD power_in Positive power supply for TPA6132A2. Operating range 2.3 V to 5.5 V; absolute max 6 V. Typical supply current 2.1 mA.
15 SGND power_in Signal ground / amplifier reference voltage. Connect to ground terminal of headphone jack.
16 OUTL output Left headphone amplifier output. Connect to left terminal of headphone jack. DirectPath biased at 0 V DC.
17 PAD passive Exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the QFN package. Solder to the PCB landing pad. Connect the landing pad to ground or leave electrically floating (unconnected).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
tpa6132a2rter.step 190 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
tpa6132a2rter-etched.step 2.3 MB You want the part with TPA6132A2RTER already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 593 faces against 110 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (28 pp, sha256 9c704fdf305cc1fb, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
