TAS5614A, input feeding

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS5614A, TAS5508C

Hi,

can TAS5614A pwm inputs feed from another (smaller) class d amplifire outputs?
what are the signal demands in that case (pwm frequency etc)?

Hi Fredrik,

A digital pulse width modulator like TAS5508C is often used to drive the input of digital input power stages like TAS5614A; TAS5614AEVM is configured this way.
These are the input signal characteristics for TAS5614A: 384kHz PWM switching frequency and 97.7% modulation limit.

Best regards,

Hi Ivan,
Thank's for the information. Would it be possible to use an ordinary (low power) analog input class d amplifier in i.e. AD mode to feed the pwm inputs at TAS5614A, or that's perhaps not a good idea?

Fredrik

Hi Fredrik,

That configuration could be possible but the performance is not guaranteed.
You have to take care of the input signal characteristics of the power stage amplifier.
