Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS5806MD
Is it safe to run this chip with a light or no load? Specifically, I have a product in which the TAS5717 is used to drive two small 8-ohm speakers. The output has an LC network which I have not traced in detail. Power supply voltage is unknown at the moment. Rated output is 20W but this is likely to be an inflated figure.
I want to adapt this so that the existing speakers are disconnected and the amp is loaded with a resistive load of 100 ohms or more per channel without modifying the existing coupling circuit. At the moment I am more concerned with safety for the chip rather than with the effect on audio quality.
