The TAS2553 is a high efficiency Class-D audio power amplifier with
advanced battery current management and an integrated Class-G boost converter. The device
constantly measures the current and voltage across the load and provides a digital stream of this
information.
The Class-G boost converter generates the Class-D amplifier supply rail. During low
Class-D output power, the boost improves efficiency by deactivating and connecting VBAT directly to
the Class-D amplifier supply. When high power audio is required, the boost quickly activates to
provide significantly louder audio than a stand-alone amplifier connected directly to the
battery.
The AGC automatically adjusts Class-D gain to reduce battery current at end-of-charge
voltages, preventing output clipping, distortion and early system shutdown. The fixed gain is
adjustable via I2C. The gain range is –7 dB to +24 dB in 1 dB
steps.
In addition to a differential mono analog input, the TAS2553 has
built-in a 16-bit D/A converter used with a digital input. Moving the D/A converter from the
digital host processor into the integrated amplifier process provides better dynamic performance at
lower system cost. Additionally, since the PCB routing is digital rather than analog, sensitivity
to external perturbations such as GSM frame-rate noise is decreased at the system level.
