TAS5026APAG

Audio Special Purpose Overview

The Texas Instruments TAS5026APAG is a six-channel digital pulse width modulator (PWM) processor based on Equibit technology. It operates on a 3.3-V supply and accepts serial audio data via I2C or I2S interfaces at sampling rates from 32 kHz to 192 kHz. The device provides true digital amplification with up to 96-dB SNR and less than 0.1% THD+N. It features independent volume control, mute, de-emphasis filtering, and error recovery for each channel. Packaged in a 64-pin TQFP, it is designed for home theater systems requiring high power efficiency.

Audio Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Six-channel digital PWM processing with 96-dB SNR
• Supports I2C/I2S interfaces and multiple data formats
• Independent per-channel volume and mute controls
• Integrated PLL and clock oscillator circuitry

Audio Special Purpose Applications

• Home theater in a box (HTIB) systems
• DVD receiver and A/V receiver units
• Digital amplifier power stages

Audio Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against official documentation to confirm if it denotes a distinct revision or variant compared to the standard TAS5026CPAG. Ensure the 64-TQFP package dimensions match the design requirements. Confirm that the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C is suitable for the intended environment.

Audio Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring multi-channel digital audio amplification without analog signal chain components. It supports master and slave clock modes. Ensure the system can accommodate the required external PLL filter and crystal connections. Verify compatibility with the target digital amplifier power stage topology.

Audio Special Purpose Part Context

The TAS5026 belongs to the PurePath Digital series of audio processors. It is designed to drive digital power devices such as the TAS5110 or discrete MOSFET stages. The APAG suffix indicates the Plastic 64-Pin TQFP package with a specific temperature rating, typically commercial grade.

Audio Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

The TAS5026IPAG is available for industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C). Other models in the family include the TAS5036 and TAS5076, which may offer different feature sets or pinouts.
