Overview
The TAS5708/10 evaluation module (EVM) demonstrates the TAS5708/10 device from Texas Instruments.
The TAS5708/10 combines a high-performance PWM processor with a class-D audio power amplifier.
This EVM can be configured with two bridge-tied loads (BTL) (2.0). For detailed information about the
TAS5708/10 device, review the device data sheet (
. The Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) is
based on TI's Equibit™ technology.
The EVM software with its graphic user interface (GUI) facilitates evaluation by providing access to the
TAS5708/10 registers through a USB port. See the
section for further details.
Figure 1. TAS5708(TAS5710)EVM Printed-Circuit Board
The TAS5708(TAS5710)EVM, together with other TI components on this board, is a complete 2.1-channel
digital audio amplifier system. The MC57xxPSIA Controller board includes a USB interface, a digital input
(SPDIF), analog inputs via the ADC, power inputs, and other features like a mute function and power
down.
