Overview
The TAS5518-5152K8EVM PurePath Digital™ customer evaluation amplifier module demonstrates two audio integrated circuits, TAS5518 and TAS5152, from Texas Instruments (TI).
The TAS5518PAG is a high-performance 32-bit (24-bit input) multichannel PurePath Digital pulse-width modulator (PWM) based on Equibit™ technology, with a fully symmetrical AD modulation scheme. It accepts input sample rates from 32 kHz to 192 kHz. The device also has digital audio processing (DAP) that provides 48-bit signal processing, advanced performance, and a high level of system integration. The device has interfaces for headphone output and power supply volume control (PSVC).
The TAS5152DKD is a compact, high-power, digital amplifier power stage designed to drive a 4-Ωloudspeaker up to 125 W (10% THD+N). It contains integrated gate drivers, four matched and electrically isolated enhancement-mode N-channel power DMOS transistors, and protection/fault-reporting circuitry.
The DKD PowerPAD™ package top side allows heat transfer through a heatsink. The heatsink in this design is for evaluation purposes only.
This EVM, together with a TI input-USB board, is a complete 7-channel digital audio amplifier system that includes digital input (S/PDIF), analog inputs, interface to PC, and DAP features, such as digital volume control, input and output mixers, auto mute, equalization, tone controls, loudness, dynamic range compression, and PSVC output. There are configuration options for stereo line level output, stereo headphone output, and power-stage failure protection.
This 6.1 system is designed for home-theater applications, such as A/V receivers, DVD minicomponent systems, home theater in a box (HTIB), DVD receivers, or plasma display panels (PDPs).
