Technology
TA3020
PRELIMINARY – January 2001
General Description
The TA3020 is a two-channel, 300W (4Ω) per channel Amplifier Driver IC that uses Tripath’s
TM
proprietary Digital Power Processing (DPP ) technology. Class-T amplifiers offer both the
audio fidelity of Class-AB and the power efficiency of Class-D amplifiers.
