Texas Instruments TAS2120 Audio Amplifier

Texas Instruments TAS2120 Audio Amplifier is a mono, digital input Class-D audio amplifier with an integrated Boost for higher power delivery in battery-operated systems. This amplifier is optimized to deliver excellent battery life for real-world music playback and voice call scenarios. Advanced efficiency optimization features, such as Y-bridge and algorithms, enable the device to produce best-in-class efficiency across all power regions of operation. The TAS2120 Class-D amplifier is capable of delivering 8.2W output power using integrated Class-H Boost. This device supports a look-ahead algorithm-based optimum boost voltage levels to match the output of the audio signal. This provides all the power needed for peak output while significantly reducing the average power consumption. The TAS2120 amplifier is ideal for smart speakers with voice assistance, BLUETOOTH® and wireless speakers, building automation, tablets, wearables, laptops, and desktop computers.

Up to four devices can share a common bus via I2S/TDM and I2C interfaces. This amplifier also supports HW pin-based pre-defined controls that can configure the device. The TAS2120 audio amplifier is available in a 26-pin, 0.4mm pitch, and QFN package.
