TAS5727 Initialization Procedure

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS5727

Hi,


I'm using a TAS5727 digital audio power amplifier and have some questions about initialization. Presently, I have the RESET pin being held HIGH shortly after my unit (the product being worked on) powers up, and PDN only becomes high later on. Then, I continue with the initialization procedure as normal, without changing PDN or RESET again. The TAS5727 appears to function as normal at this point.


I realize this is not the recommended behavior, and do not want to make assumptions that because the individual chip I am using works this way, that others will necessarily do so. I've put two specific questions below, but any information about the behavior of the TAS5727 when PDN and RESET are used beyond the recommended procedure would be helpful.


Thanks,

Alex

(When I refer to PDN and RESET, assume they should have the proper complement line above)

Is the behavior of the TAS5727 when PDN is brought HIGH while RESET is already HIGH (and has been so for ~3 seconds) known?


Can the TAS5727 be guaranteed to work properly if, in Step 2 of the initialization sequence (page 31 of the datasheet), PDN is driven from LOW to HIGH after RESET has been HIGH (again, for about ~3 seconds)?

  • Hi, Alex

    Welcome to E2E, Thanks for your interest in our products!. 

    Please refer to my comments below:

    /PDN is the control signal used to power down the power stage of the amplifier. So when the amplifier has /RESET HIGH and /PDN LOW, the amplifier can be configured, but the output of the amplifier will remain in shutdown state.

    There should be no issue as long as the amplifier gets configured AFTER both /RESET and /PDN are pulled HIGH. This is because if the amplifier gets configured to stream audio before /PDN is HIGH, audio artifacts may be heard as the amplifier will try to start normal operation with a power stage not fully powered up.

  • Thanks for your reply, Diego. That is the information I was looking for.
