JAJSGO7C July 2013 – November 2017 TAS5760LD
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TAS5760LD can be configured to drive a single speaker with the two output channels connected in parallel. This mode of operation is called Parallel Bridge Tied Load (PBTL) mode. This mode of operation effectively reduces the on resistance of the amplifier in half, which in turn reduces the power dissipated in the device due to conduction losses through the output FETs. Additionally, since the output channels are working in parallel, it also doubles the amount of current the speaker amplifier can source before hitting the over-current error threshold.
It should be noted that the device can be placed operated in PBTL mode in either Hardware Control Mode or in Software Control Mode, via the I²C Control Port. For instructions on placing the device in PBTL via the PBTL/SCL Pin, see Hardware Control Mode.
To place the TAS5760LD into PBTL Mode when operating in Software Control Mode, the Bit 7 of the Analog Control Register (0x06) should be set in the control port. This bit is cleared by default to configure the device for BTL mode operation. An additional control available in software mode control is PBTL Channel Select, which selects which of the two channels presented on the SDIN line will be used for the input signal for the amplifier. This is found at Bit 1 of the Analog Control Register (0x06).
