PRODUCTION DATA
Instead of direct Overcurrent Shutdown to mute audio output, TAS5827 also provides CBC current limiting protection. The purpose is to reduce output current ahead of the Overcurrent Shutdown level by inserting pulse into PWM switching, and the threshold (list in Electrical Characteristics - OCETHRES) is configurable through Register CBC_CONTROL Register (Offset = 77h) [Reset = 00h] -D[4:3] Reg_CBC_Level_Sel.
The overall effect on the audio is quite similar to a voltage-clipping, which temporarily limits music signal peak power to maintain continuous music playing without disruption on the removal of the overload.
