TAS5614LA PWM INPUT

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS5614LA, TAS5086

Hi,

A customer is planning full digital amplifier using tas5086 modulator now. The PWM output of tas5086 is single ended. He has a question whether the difference between 1N+1 and 2N+1 is only the DC offset which is noted in 7.4.1. Mode Selection Pins of TAS5614LA datasheet.

Best regards,

  • Hello Ito-san.

    The major difference is that 1N only supports AD modulation where 2N supports both AD and BD modulation.

    Since the BTL output of a class-D requires 2 half bridges, 2 PWM signals are needed to drive the output FETs in the power stage.

    -Since AD is a simpler modulation scheme, in 1N mode the TAS5614LA will self generate an inverted copy of the PWM input for the second half bridge.
    -BD modulation is more complex and an requires 2 PWM inputs since BD cannot be easily generated from only one PWM line.

  • Hello Matthew-san,

    Thanks for your reply. Can I ask you an additional question?
    Does the DC offset of the note mean 1LSB of the differences between inverted copy and 2's complements?

  • Hello Ito-san,

    The DC offset increase is cased by slight phase differences PWM edges between the 1N input and the inverted PWM copy generated in the power stage. The device DC offset is trimmed in production for 2N input source so 1N will show slightly different results.
