Overview
The TAS5105EVM package is composed of two separate modules, the MC016 Modulator/Controller
Module and the TAS5105EVM Amplifier Module. They are designed so that the user can separate the two
modules and connect the TAS5105EVM Amplifier Module into a target system via a ribbon cable. Keep
this ribbon cable as short as possible to avoid degradation in the PWM signals.
The TAS5105 customer evaluation amplifier modules each demonstrate two audio integrated circuits —
the TAS5012 and the TAS5105 from Texas Instruments (TI).
The TAS5012 is a high-performance, 32-bit (24-bit input), multichannel PurePath Digital™ pulse width
modulator (PWM) based on Equibit™ technology with fully symmetrical AD modulation scheme. It accepts
an input sample rate from 32 kHz to 192 kHz.
The TAS5105 is a compact, high-power, digital amplifier power stage designed to drive an 8-
Ω
loudspeaker up to 20 W/channel at 10% THD+N. It contains integrated gate-drive, four matched and
electrically isolated enhancement-mode N-channel power DMOS transistors, and protection/fault-reporting
circuitry. The DAD package has a PowerPAD™ package on the top side for heat transfer through a heat
sink. The heat sink in this design is for evaluation purposes only.
The TAS5105 EVM and the MC016 form a complete two-channel, digital audio amplifier system which
includes digital input (S/PDIF) and DAP (digital audio processor) features like digital volume control, bass
management, and input and output multiplexers.
This EVM is designed to illustrate a low-cost approach to an amplifier design using this device.
