TAS5421QPWP*Q1: Constant Hiss Noise

The hissing noise is heard continuously from the speaker though no audio source is played.

Attached is the schematics design.

  • HiSrinivasa.

    I think you can consider this question by following steps:

    1. Can you set the MUTE pin High or STANDBY pin low, and then observe if there have the same problem? If the problem still exists, this may not the chip's problem.
    2. If the problem disappeared after the operation above, you can replace the speaker with a resistor. Then can you observe the waveforms of input(the differential voltage between IN_P and IN_N) and the voltage across the resistor , and confirm if there is no input or disturbance? If convenient, can you post the waveforms to us?
    3. Another question is that the connection method of your audio input circuit is not very common, can you make a briefly explain? I suggest you to modify to our recommended circuit in the datasheet.

    Best regards

    Srinivasa::After setting the STANDBY pin low, the hissing noise is not observed.

    Srinivasa:: OK, will try this and share the results.Another question is that the connection method of your audio input circuit is not very common, can you make a briefly explain? I suggest you to modify to our recommended circuit in the datasheet.

    Srinivasa:: I am awaiting an answer from the HW expert, I  will update once I receive the answer.
