3 Description

The TAS6424R-Q1 device is a four-channel digitalinput

Class-D audio amplifier that implements a

2.1 MHz PWM switching frequency enabling a costoptimized

device in a very small PCB size, full

operation down to 4.5 V for start/stop events, and

exceptional sound quality with up to 40 kHz audio

bandwidth.

The output switching frequency can be set 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 as

well as detection of AC-coupled tweeters to help to

reduce test time during the manufacturing process.

The devices adds EMI management features

including spread-spectrum, output phase offset and

optimized slew rate to assist in system level EMI

challenges.

The TAS6424R-Q1 Class-D audio amplifier is

designed for use in automotive head units and

external amplifier modules. For pin compatible one,

two and four-channel devices see the the Device
