TAS5601DCAR

Overview

The TAS5601DCAR is a Texas Instruments Class-D audio power amplifier housed in a 56-pin PowerTFSOP package. It supports configurable mono, stereo, or quad-channel operation with a supply voltage range of 10V to 26V. Maximum output power reaches 20W per channel into an 8-ohm load and 19W per channel into a 4-ohm load. The device features a total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of 0.04% and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Configurable multi-channel architecture supporting mono, stereo, or four-channel setups
• Integrated digital PWM input interface for direct connection to digital sources
• Built-in protection mechanisms including short-circuit and thermal shutdown

Applications

• High-fidelity home theater systems requiring multi-channel amplification
• Professional audio equipment utilizing digital signal processing inputs
• Consumer electronics demanding high efficiency and low distortion performance

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as the part is obsolete. Confirm package integrity upon receipt due to moisture sensitivity classification. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts given the specific 56-HTSSOP footprint requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring flexible channel configuration without external multiplexing. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified operating temperature limits. Consider the single-supply requirement when designing power distribution networks for the target application.

Part Context

This device belongs to the TAS5601 series of digital input audio amplifiers. It is designed to replace older analog-stage solutions by integrating power stages directly with digital control logic. The family focuses on reducing external component count while maintaining high audio fidelity standards.

Replacement Considerations

Texas Instruments TAS5601DCA is a documented alternative variant within the same product line.
