PRODUCTION DATA.
These application circuits detail the recommended component selection and board configurations for the TAS5720A-Q1 device. Note that in Software Control mode, the clipping point of the amplifier and thus the rated power of the end equipment can be set using the digital clipper if desired. Additionally, if the sonic signature of the soft clipper is preferred, it can be used in addition to or in lieu of the digital clipper. The software control application circuit detailed in this section shows the soft clipper in its bypassed state, which results in a lower BOM count than when using the soft clipper. The trade-off between the sonic characteristics of the clipping events in the amplifier and BOM minimization can be chosen based upon the design goals related to the end product.
