TAS5026IPAG

Audio Special Purpose Overview

The Texas Instruments TAS5026IPAG is a six-channel digital pulse width modulator (PWM) processor based on Equibit technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V and supports sampling rates from 32kHz to 192kHz. The device features 96-dB SNR, less than 0.1% THD+N, and integrated de-emphasis filters. It accepts 16-, 20-, or 24-bit serial audio data via I2C and I2S interfaces. Packaged in a 64-TQFP (10x10mm) surface-mount format, it provides independent volume control, mute, and error recovery for each channel.

Audio Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Six-channel digital PWM processing with 96-dB SNR and <0.1% THD+N
• Supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit input formats including I2S, Left/Right Justified, and DSP protocols
• Integrated digital de-emphasis filter for 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz sample rates
• Independent per-channel volume control, mute, and soft update capabilities

Audio Special Purpose Applications

• Home theater systems and HTIB units
• DVD receivers and A/V receivers
• Digital audio amplification stages

Audio Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IPAG' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and 64-TQFP package. Confirm that the ordering code matches the exact datasheet revision required for the design. Ensure the component source is an authorized distributor to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Audio Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when a multi-channel digital audio solution with high efficiency and low jitter is required. It is suitable for designs needing up to six channels of PWM output driven by external H-bridge power stages. Verify compatibility with the system's serial clock master/slave requirements and available I2C address space.

Audio Special Purpose Part Context

The TAS5026 belongs to the PurePath Digital series of audio processors. It is designed to work in conjunction with TI digital amplifier power stages, such as the TAS5110 or TAS5182, to form a complete all-digital audio amplification system. The IPAG variant specifically denotes the industrial temperature rating within the TQFP package family.

Audio Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

The TAS5026CPAG serves as the commercial temperature version of this component. Other members of the TAS5026 family include TAS5026APAG and TAS5026APAGR. Verify pinout and register compatibility before substituting.
