The TAS5186 requires only simple passive demodulation filters on its outputs to deliver high-quality, high-efficiency audio amplification. The efficiency of the TAS5186 is greater than 90% when driving 6- satellites and a 3- subwoofer speaker. The TAS5186 has an innovative protection system integrated on-chip, safeguarding the device against a wide range of fault conditions that could damage the system. These safeguards are short-circuit protection, overload protection, undervoltage protection, and overtemperature protection. The TAS5186 has a new proprietary current-limiting circuit that reduces the possibility of device shutdown during high-level music transients. A new programmable overcurrent detector allows the use of lower-cost inductors in the demodulation output filter. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION + NOISE vs
