TA0105A
STEREO CLASS-T DIGITAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER DRIVER USING
DIGITAL POWER PROCESSING (DPP
T M
) TECHNOLOGY
Technical Information
Revision 2.2 – May 2005
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TA0105A is a two-channel Amplifier Driver IC that uses Tripath’s proprietary Digital Power
Processing (DPP
TM
) technology. Class-T amplifiers offer both the audio fidelity of Class-AB and the
power efficiency of Class-D amplifiers.
The typical application for the TA0105A is direct drive (no output transformer) in 70V and 100V
constant voltage amplifiers used for public address systems. The feedback and voltage range of
the TA0105A can be configured externally unlike previous Tripath modules such as TA0104A.

Note 4: Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions for which the device is functional.
The VPP and VNN supply limits are based on the internal OV/UV sensing resistor values. The
supply voltage range can be lowered via external resistors. Please refer to the Application
information section for a detailed discussion of changing the operating supply voltage range. See
Electrical Characteristics for guaranteed specific performance limits.

Note 5: Minimum and maximum limits are guaranteed but may not be 100% tested.
Note 6: These voltage values are calculated and not 100% tested. The voltages are based on 100% tested
sense currents, an external “shift” resistor of 3.83MΩ from VLOW to VNN and another 3.83MΩ
resistor from VHIGH to VPP, and the on board sense resistor values of 1.27MΩ for VNN, and 1.4MΩ
for VPP. In addition, worse case resistor tolerances (+/-1%) were used to calculate the minimum and
maximum values. Please refer to the Overvoltage and Undervoltage section of the Applications
Information for a more detailed explanation.
