Technical Information
Revision 3.1 – June 2000
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TA0104A is a 500W continuous average (4Ω), two channel Amplifier Driver
Module which 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.
APPLICATIONS
Audio/Video
Amplifiers/Receivers
Pro-audio Amplifiers
Automobile Power Amplifiers
Subwoofer Amplifiers
BENEFITS
Reduced system cost with smaller/less
expensive power supply and heat sink
Signal fidelity equal to high quality Class-AB
amplifiers
High dynamic range compatible with digital
media such as CD and DVD
