TAS5782M: 3-Band DRC Structure

Part Number: TAS5782M

Hi,

Could you please tell me whether the following DRC structure is same with 3-Band DRC which is embedded in TAS5782M ?

TAS57xx Dynamic Range Control

  • Hi Kato-san,
    That document is very old and based on TAS570x~TAS571x. DRC stucture is very similar between it and TAS5782M, but there is a little difference, e.g. TAS5782M has k0~k2 parameter while TAS570x/TAS571x only has k0 and k1 parameter.... Even though, this doucment is a good material to help customers to understand how DRC works.

  • Hi Shawn-san,

    Thank you for your prompt reply.

    I should inform the detailed information from our customer, so could you please share the application note for TAS5782M 3-Band DRC if possible ?

  • Hi Shawn-san,

    Sorry for rushing you, so please let me know if you have any updates on this issue.

    Could you please tell me the detailed information as below ?

  • Hi Kato-san,

    Detailed information of 3-band DRC structure related with PPC3 is as bellow:

    As can be seen above, 3-DRC structure of TAS5782 can be divided into three main part:

    1. Corssover: for each band, a 2th order BQ is used;
    2. Adv DRC: include three parts in general:
      1. Energy muxing: it is used to estimate the energy of L/R channel. The opening parameter is Energy time constant. It can determine time window calculating the estimated L/R energy;
      2. Region response: as can be seen above, threshold, offset and ratio can be configured to achieve DRC curve you want; Further, after audio signal pass the curve, attack/release structure is used to smooth the whole change when attack or release behavior happens;
    3. mixer gain: usually it is set to be 1 in default. Since filters may affect phase, a phase reversal or a 180 degree phase shift may be necessary, which calls for using a negative sign on the coefficient to reverse the phase for the second-order filter.

  • Hi Alix-san,

    Thank you for the detailed information.

    I understood, so I will contact you if I get additional questions from our customer.
