Texas Instruments TAS5602

the tas5602 is a 20-w (per channel) efficient stereo digital amplifier power stage for driving 4 single-ended speakers 2 bridge-tied speakers or combination of single and bridge-tied loads. the tas5602 can drive a speaker with an impedance as low as 4?. the high efficiency of the tas5602 eliminates the need for an external heat sink. a simple interface to a digital audio pwm processor is shown below. the tas5602 is fully protected against faults with short-circuit protection and thermal protection as well as overvoltage and undervoltage protection. faults are reported back to the processor to prevent devices from being damaged during overload conditions.
