Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ:TXN) today introduced the first 2.1-MHz Class-D audio amplifier specifically designed for automotive applications. Supporting high-resolution 96-kHz digital input, the compact TAS6424-Q1 enables high-fidelity audio with low distortion in automotive infotainment applications. For more information, visit http://www.ti.com/tas6424q1-pr-eu.
The TAS6424-Q1 enables the use of smaller external filters and eliminates up to 18 external components to reduce system size and cost compared to existing Class-D solutions. With maximum output power of 75 W per channel, the device features the industry’s highest switching rate and is the only audio amplifier that switches above the AM band.
Switching above the AM band eliminates the need for complex avoidance schemes and eases electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) designs while enabling the system to meet Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radioélectriques (CISPR) 25 Class 5 EMC requirements.
To simulate and optimize the device, designers can download an IBIS model or request a TAS6424-Q1 evaluation module.
