Dual TAS5624 & TAS5558 supporting 4 channel and 8 channel with same hardware

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS5558, TAS5624, TAS5624A

In my system I want to use the same hardware to support either 4 or 8 speaker channels under software control using a single TAS5558 and two TAS5624 power stages (will not dynamically change whilst operational, obviously).

How should I connect the 16 PWM outputs from the TAS5558 to the two TAS5624 PWM inputs? I could not find a clear explanation in either datasheet.

BR,

Steve

  • Hi Steve,

    TAS5624A would be configured in the SE mode with 8 channels and 2 TAS5624As. See attached SE sch example below.

     

      

    Connect TAS5558's PWM_P_x to INPUT_x of the TAS5624A. For example, for 8 channels config -

    PWM_P_1 tie to INPUT_A (TAS5624A_1)

    PWM_P_2 tie to INPUT_B (TAS5624A_1)

    PWM_P_3 tie to INPUT_C (TAS5624A_1)

    PWM_P_4 tie to INPUT_D (TAS5624A_1)

    PWM_P_5 tie to INPUT_A (TAS5624A_2)

    PWM_P_6 tie to INPUT_B (TAS5624A_2)

    PWM_P_7 tie to INPUT_C (TAS5624A_2)

    PWM_P_8 tie to INPUT_D (TAS5624A_2)

  • Paul,

    Just to clarify...

    With this arrangement it is possible to then also connect the speakers across the upper and lower halves of each bridge so that each TAS5624 is driving 2 speakers instead of 4, then configure the TAS5558 to send opposite phases PWM to AB & CD so that the same hardware can be used for single ended and bridged?

  • Paul,

    Any update on this clarification please since we are about to send our board for fab and I would like to make sure I don't need to add any additional signal switching to support both 4 and 8 channels, and that the solution you presented will allow a purely software selectable switching,

    BR,

  • Hi Steve,

    For BTL mode, you may set the TAS5624A to 1N+1 AD Mode (refer to DS pg5 Mode Selection Pins). Single-ended input do have a increased DC offset on the output terminals.

  • Perfect. thanks Bud.
