Four-channel amplifier delivers high-resolution audio in small footprint

Texas Instruments has introduced the 2.1-MHz Class-D audio amplifier specifically designed for automotive applications. Supporting high-resolution 96kHz digital input, the compact TAS6424-Q1 enables high-fidelity audio with low distortion in automotive infotainment applications. The device 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 75W per channel, the device features, what is claimed to be, the industry’s highest switching rate and is the only audio amplifier that switches above the AM band.
