Function
IN1P, IN2P
V5D, V5A
GAIN0, GAIN1
Description
Positive audio input for channel 1 and channel 2
Digital 5VDC, Analog 5VDC
Gain select bits. GAIN0 is least significant bit. See Applications Information for
programmable gain values. Both GAIN 0 and GAIN1 have internal 50KΩ pull-
down resistors.
Digital Ground. Connect to AGND locally (near the TAA2009).
Internal reference voltage; approximately 1.0 VDC.
When set to logic high, device goes into low power mode. If not used, this pin
should be grounded
When set to logic high, both amplifiers are muted and in idle mode. When low
(grounded), both amplifiers are fully operational. If left floating, the device stays in
the mute mode. This pin should be tied to GND if not used.
A logic high output indicates an under-voltage condition, thermal overload, and an
output is shorted to ground, or another output.
Bridged output pairs
Supply pins for high current H-bridges, nominally 12VDC.
Power Grounds (high current)
Substrate connection. Connect to PGND.
Charge pump input (nominally 10V above VDDA)
Charge pump switching output pin. DCAP is a free running 350kHz square wave
between VDDA and DGND (12Vpp nominal).
Power supply for analog VDD circuitry. Connect to same supply as VDD1 and
VDD2.
Regulated 5VDC source used to supply power to the input section (pins 2 and 28).
Analog Ground. Connect all pins together directly at the TAA2009.
Negative audio input for channel 2 and channel 1.
Pop minimization capacitor. Use 10uF.
Modulation selection pin. Connecting the INL pin to a logic high level enables the
inductor-less mode. This mode allows the TAA2009 to be operated without an
output filter as the switching outputs are in phase with zero input. If INL is tied to
a logic low or left floating (pulled down via internal 50KΩ resistor to ground), the
INL mode will be disabled. This results in a differential output switching pattern
typical of previous Tripath generation parts such as TA2024 and TAA2008. The
state of the INL pin should only be changed with MUTE at a logic high state.
Input stage bias voltage (approximately 2.4VDC).
