The TAS5421-Q1 is a mono digital audio amplifier, ideal for use in automotive emergency call (eCall), telematics, instrument cluster, and infotainment applications. The device provides up to 22 W into 4 Ω at less than 10% THD+N from a 14.4-Vdc automotive battery. The wide operating voltage range and excellent efficiency make the device ideal for start-stop support or running from a backup battery when required. The integrated load-dump protection reduces external voltage clamp cost and size, and the onboard load diagnostics report the status of the speaker through I2C.

For all available packages, see the orderable addendum at the end of the datasheet.
