SLOSE75B February 2022 – March 2023 TAS2780
PRODUCTION DATA
The TAS2780 contains a supply tracking limiter to control distortion and brownout prevention to mitigate brownout events. The gain reduction that occurs due to this block can be aligned across multiple devices using the Inter Chip Gain Alignment (ICGA) (Section 8.4.2.10) feature. The maximum device attenuation set by DEV_MAX_ATTN[6:0] register bits can be used to limit the combination of the limiter and brownout attenuation.
The Supply Tracking Limiter (STL) (Section 8.4.2.8.1) and the Brownout Prevention (BOP) (Section 8.4.2.8.2) are configured independently. The ICGA, if enabled, keeps multiple device gains in sync if the STL and BOP need to reduce the gain. However, the BOP will take priority in the device. In order to prevent the STL and BOP from both making simultaneous adjustments to the system, the STL and ICGA will be paused once the BOP engages, until it fully releases.
The attenuation applied to the device can be selected to be either the sum of the limiter attenuation (ICLA) and Brownout attenuation (ICBA) or the maximum of the two of them by setting the ICG_MODE register bit.
