W6 Assignment 2

CREATING A TEST PLAN

In this assignment you will observe the system requirements like you did for week 4. Take into consideration any feedback you received on the Week 4 Assignment 2 when creating this test plan.

Problem

A student is required to design an audio amplifier, which over audio frequencies, delivers 20 Watts to an 8-ohm speaker, when a 100-mV peak signal is applied to the input.

Task

Develop a test plan to verify that all requirements above have been met. Hint: Did you notice that the amplifier description has a requirement which doesn’t use numbers? You’ll have to go look up what those numbers are.

For the test regulation criteria, you may find these links helpful:

·        CTA-2006 Amplifier Power Standards or PDF: [insert pdf version]

·        TI Power Rating in Audio Amplifiers (pdf)

Use the Test Plan Template (make a link to the document and make it downloadable) and make sure when you use the template that you delete all of the template descriptions.

Submit the file using the following filename (GID Name Wk# Test Plan.docx).
