Overview
The TAS3308EVM PurePath Digital™ customer evaluation module demonstrates the Digital Audio
Processor TAS3308 from Texas Instruments (TI).
TAS3308 is a fully programmable high-performance audio processor. It uses an efficient, custom,
multi-instruction programming environment optimized for digital audio processing algorithms. The
TAS3308 architecture provides high-quality audio processing by using a 48-bit data path, 28-bit filter
coefficients, and a single-cycle 28
×
48-bit multiplier with a 76-bit accumulator. An embedded 8051
microprocessor provides algorithm and data control for the TAS3308. The TAS3308 is the commercial
version intended for home audio and other commercial applications.
This is a single board EVM. EVM can be configured with a TAS5601 or similar power stage. This
combination will provide complete signal processing and power amplification system solution which
includes digital input/output (S/PDIF), analog inputs/outputs, interface to PC and DAP features like digital
volume control, input and output mixers, auto mute, equalization, tone controls, loudness, dynamic range
compression, surround effects.
The TAS3308 is well suited for inclusion in Digital Televisions, Home Theater Systems, Mini-Component
Audio Systems and Pro-Audio systems.
