There are miscellaneous settings that are
available on the GUI for easy access.
- OSR is the oversampling bit. For lower idle noise, 64X OSR is set as default. For wider
bandwidth, 128X OSR can be used. 64X OSR is recommended.
- TAS6424R-Q1 supports parallel Bridge-Tied Load. Channels 1 and 2 can be
one PBTL channel and channels 3 and 4 can be the other. Before setting a set of channels
to PBTL mode, connect the (+) terminals as PBTL channel (+) and the (-) terminals as PBTL
channel (-). Then connect the speaker (+) to the PBTL channel (+) and connect the speaker
(-) to the PBTL channel (-).
- The overcurrent has two levels. The lower level is 1. The default is level 2. When
running at a lower output current, the OC level can be set to 1. I2S and TDM are
automatically detected. Use the pull-down menu from the Input Format box to
manually select the audio format.
- If the sampling frequency is greater than 48 kHz, then select 96 kHz from the Input
FS pull-down.
- Overtemperature warning can be programmed by using the pull-down menu to choose the OTW
temperature. The default setting is 120°C.
- The output switching frequency (FSW) or Pulse Width Modulation frequency (PWM) is set at
2.1 MHz. The pull-down menu on the PWM FRQ box is used to choose a lower FSW. The LC value
must be adjusted when FSW is changed.
- The offset phase for each channel is set at 45 degrees and helps lower the ripple
current on the power supply, as not all the channels switch at the same time. To choose a
different phase offset, use the pull-down menu on the Phase box.
- There are four gain settings in TAS6424R-Q1: low, normal, high and
maximum. The default setting is high. However, the recommended setting is normal for lower
noise performance for driving speakers at
14.4 VDC. The
gain setting can be selected via the drop-down menu in the Gain box.
- The volume slew rate is measured with the sampling frequency. The default setting is 1
period of the sampling frequency (FSYNC or FS). This rate can be selected from 1 to 8
sampling periods with the drop-down menu under Vol Rate box.
