TAS5756M: Mono PBTL without hybrilFlow use

Part Number: TAS5756M
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS5760M

Hello !

Firstable I want to apologize for my English ^^

Then, let's go for my interrogations :

I just bought an audio amplifier board for my raspberry PI, the main device of this board is TAS5756M.

The board manufacturer says that not any hybrid flow is used. So I suppose that the main board drive the component like a simple "DAC" by I2S.

Considering this, if I want to use the output in PBTL configuration, what am I supposed to manage on the DAC input signals ? I mean, if I make that both channel input signals are the same, what can prevent me from bridge output in PBTL configuration ? I don't see in the component datasheet any hardware configuration (by pull-up or pull-down or something else) to switch from BTL to/from PBTL. For example I don't find configuration pin like on the TAS5760M OR TPA3136.

I suppose there is a bit in an internal register configuration to "allow" PBTL mode, but I did not find in the datasheet which register has to be modify...

Thanks a lot for your answers,

Best Regards,

Jeremy

  • Hi Jeremy,

    If you want the TAS5756M to work in the PBTL mode, please follow the reference schematic on Page 67 of TAS5756M datasheet to design your system.

  • Hi Andy,

    Thanks, I did not notice the difference between BTL and PBTL at DAC_OUTB and SPK_INB+/- level

    Can you just confirm me two other things :

    - Firstable, it's show page 58 that two filtering configuration are possible at spk_out level, can you just confirm me that post filter configuration is the same than BTL output filter configuration like page 63 ? I just have, at output connector level, to short outA+ with Out A- and OutB+ with OuB- and plug my speaker in PBTL like the schematic.

    -Then, if I modify the circuit to tie SPK_OUTB+ and SPK_OUTB- to PGND and pull down the DAC output like Page 67, I really don't have to make other register configuration for make the component works correctly in PBTL mode ? This sounds really weird to me, I do not understand how the H-bridge output can manage this output wiring without internal configuration, that why I just want to be sure

    Thanks a lot for your answer,

    Jeremy

  • OK, I think I will answer to my second question : I was reasonning in classic AD Modulation, I'm not really familiar with BD modulation, but it seems that this is the reason why output is not stressed by PBTL configuration, am I right ?
  • But I still have a question...
    I found this application report : SLAA701A
    If I compare figures 1 and 2 to the TAS5756M, the output configuration is different, I mean :
    - in the TAS5756M in PBTL, SPK_OUTA+ and SPK_OUTA- are shorted together and SPK_OUTB+ and SPK_OUTB- are shorted together
    - in this Application note, it seems that SPK_OUTA+ and SPK_OUTB+ are shorted together and SPK_OUTA- and SPK_OUTB- are shorted together

    Thanks a lot for your answer,

    Andy: No. The TAS5756M will be configured in MONO/PBTL when SPK_INB+ and SPK_INB- are connected directly to GND (without capacitors) during power-up. In mono mode, the right DAC channel, DAC_OUTA, is used as input for the speaker amplifier.

  • OK !!!
    I understand better how this can work !

    I'm really not familiar with this kind of component, I'm electronics engineer, but in space application, whe are really not used to using "smart" devices... :o)

    Thanks a lot Andy for your help, now, I have to play with my soldering iron and tweak this board
