DIGITAL POWER PROCESSING (DPP
T M
) TECHNOLOGY
Technical Information
Revision 1.0 – November 2005
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TAA4100A is a four-channel Audio Amplifier 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 TAA4100A has been designed specifically for
automotive head unit applications and is configured with four bridged outputs operating on a single
10-26V supply.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.
See the table below for Operating Conditions.
Note 2: Supply voltage is limited in AM Mode due to additional power dissipation of output stage when
operating in Class B mode. Please note that the TAA4100A is still fully protected from load dump transients in AM
Mode.
Note 3
: The in
put section pins (pins 1-9, 11,12) should not be connected to voltages over 5.5V with respect to pin 10
(AGND). Please note that pins 5, 11, and 12 are outputs and can be damaged if a voltage is forced externally.
Note 4: Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5KΩ resistor.
Note 5: Machine model, 220pF – 240pF discharged through all pins.

Note 9: The TAA4100A heat sinking in AM Mode must be increased (as compared to Class T mode) to sustain the
typical output numbers. This is due to the lower efficiency of Class B output stage operation. Please note that the
AM Mode operating supply range, due to this increased power dissipation, is 10V-16V.
