Texas Instruments TAS6424E-Q1 Quad Class-D Audio Amplifier
Texas Instruments TAS6424E-Q1 Quad Class-D Audio Amplifier is a four-channel digital input Class-D audio amplifier that implements a 2.1MHz PWM switching frequency. This feature enables a cost-optimized solution in a tiny PCB size, full operation down to 4.5V for start/stop events, and exceptional sound quality with up to 40kHz audio bandwidth. The output switching frequency can be set at either above the AM band, which eliminates AM-band interferences and reduces output filtering and cost, or below the AM band to optimize efficiency.
The device has a built-in load diagnostic function for detecting and diagnosing misconnected outputs and detection of AC-coupled tweeters to help reduce test time during the manufacturing process. The devices add EMI management features, including spread-spectrum, output phase offset, and optimized slew rate to assist system-level EMI challenges. The Texas Instruments TAS6424E-Q1 Class-D audio amplifier is used in automotive head units and external amplifier modules.
