Product details
Overview
TAS5086DBT from Texas Instruments is a six-channel digital pulse-width modulator (PWM) IC designed for high-fidelity audio systems. It accepts 16-/20-/24-bit I2S, left-justified, or right-justified serial audio inputs at sampling rates from 32 kHz to 192 kHz, performs 8× oversampling with fourth-order noise shaping, delivers ≥105-dB dynamic range (20 Hz–20 kHz), and outputs six PWM channels compatible with single-ended or bridge-tied load power stages - used in home theater AV receivers and multi-channel active speaker systems.
For engineers reviewing the TAS5086DBT datasheet, TAS5086DBT pinout, TAS5086DBT application, or TAS5086DBT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 38-pin TSSOP package, I2C slave control interface (100/400 kHz), 3.3-V-only digital/analog supply, 64-/48-fS bit-clock support, and AM interference avoidance capability via adjustable PWM clock rate.
Technical Context
The TAS5086DBT operates as a clock-slave device requiring external MCLK, SCLK, and LRCLK; it auto-detects input sample rates (32/44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192 kHz) and supports 128–512-fS master clock rates up to 50 MHz. Its PLL uses internal oscillator trim (via OSC_RES) for stability without external crystal.
It implements a 1N+1 PWM signaling interface (six independent PWM outputs + one VALID2 sync signal), supports full channel remapping, integrates two programmable biquads in the subwoofer channel for bass management, and provides soft-mute, soft-start/stop, and intelligent AM interference avoidance by dynamically adjusting modulation clock rates to suppress RF coupling.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Channels | Six independent PWM output channels with full input-to-output mapping flexibility |
| Sampling Rates | Supports 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz - auto-detected or manually set |
| Oversampling | 12× at 32 kHz; 8× at 44.1/48 kHz; 4× at 88.2/96 kHz; 2× at 176.4/192 kHz |

| Package | 38-pin TSSOP (DBT) with exposed thermal pad - RoHS-compliant, lead-free |
Pinout & Package
38-pin TSSOP (DBT) package with thermal pad; requires 0.1-µF low-ESR decoupling on VR_ANA, VR_DIG, and VR_OSC pins referenced to respective ground planes (AVSS, DVSS, AVSS_PLL).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWM_1 to PWM_6 (Pins 33–38) | Digital PWM output | Direct drive signals for six-channel Class-D power stage; each independently mappable to any input channel |
| VALID1 / VALID2 (Pins 31–32) | Output validity indicator | VALID1 confirms soft-start completion; VALID2 indicates stable PWM output readiness - used for sequenced power-stage enable |
| SDIN1–SDIN4 (Pins 23–26) | Serial audio input | Four independent 24-bit serial ports supporting I2S/left/right-justified formats; SDIN4 selectable as pass-through to SDOUT |
| SDOUT (Pin 22) | I²S serial audio output | Fixed 24-bit I²S stereo output derived from downmix or SDIN4 - no I²C control, always active |

| SDA / SCL (Pins 17–18) | I²C control interface | 5-V-tolerant bidirectional data/clock lines - supports standard/fast-mode operation even without MCLK |
| PDN / RESET / MUTE (Pins 10, 9, 16) | System control inputs | Active-low PDN enables 100-ms soft power-down; RESET forces hard-mute and register reset; MUTE enables noiseless volume ramp |
| VR_ANA / VR_DIG / VR_OSC (Pins 1, 30, 15) | Internal voltage references | 1.8-V analog/digital/oscillator reference outputs - require local 0.1-µF low-ESR bypass to respective grounds |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Flexible Downmixing | 5.1-channel input can be downmixed to 2.1 or 3.1 outputs - result routed to front, center, or subwoofer channels |
| DC Blocking & De-emphasis | Per-channel DC blocking enabled by default; selectable 32/44.1/48-kHz de-emphasis filters per channel |
| AC-Coupling Capacitor Charging | Optimized PWM sequence pre-charges AC-coupling caps in single-ended configurations - prevents turn-on thump |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5086PAP | 64-pin HTQFP package with enhanced thermal performance; identical electrical specs and register map | Better suited for high-power designs requiring >1 W dissipation; larger PCB footprint and reflow profile | Select TAS5086PAP when thermal margin is constrained or board layout allows QFP; TAS5086DBT preferred for space-constrained TSSOP designs |
| TAS5086DBTR | Same 38-pin TSSOP package but tape-and-reel packaging; identical die and electrical behavior | No functional difference - only packaging format differs (reel vs. tube); same pinout and thermal characteristics | TAS5086DBTR is drop-in compatible for automated assembly; TAS5086DBT is tube-packaged for prototyping and low-volume use |
Compared with TAS5086PAP and TAS5086DBTR, the TAS5086DBT offers identical PWM processing capability and feature set in the smallest surface-mount footprint, making it optimal for compact consumer audio products where board area and thermal mass are tightly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the TAS5086DBT?
The TAS5086DBT supports input sampling rates up to 192 kHz. At this rate, it applies 2× oversampling with fourth-order noise shaping to maintain ≥105-dB dynamic range across the 20 Hz–20 kHz audio band. The device auto-detects the rate or allows manual configuration via I²C registers, and accepts corresponding MCLK frequencies up to 50 MHz.
Does the TAS5086DBT require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the TAS5086DBT does not require an external crystal. It uses an internal oscillator with external trim resistor (OSC_RES on Pin 14) for PLL reference. After power-up or reset, oscillator trim must be performed using the Oscillator Trim Register (0x1B) - eliminating BOM cost and board space for external timing components.
Can the TAS5086DBT drive both single-ended and bridge-tied load amplifiers?
Yes, the TAS5086DBT is explicitly designed to drive both configurations. Its six PWM outputs support 1N+1 signaling (six PWMs + one VALID2 sync signal) and are compatible with TI's TAS5186 (BTL/SE), TAS5142 (BTL/SE), and TAS5111/12 (with minimal external logic). The IC includes optimized PWM sequences for charging AC-coupling capacitors in single-ended setups.
How does the AM interference avoidance feature work in the TAS5086DBT?
The TAS5086DBT avoids AM radio band interference by dynamically adjusting its PWM clock rate to 7-fS, 8-fS, or 9-fS - shifting switching noise away from 530–1710 kHz. This occurs in concert with the sample-rate converter and requires manual sample-rate setting when enabled. No external components or layout changes are needed to activate this feature.
Is the TAS5086DBT pin-compatible with other devices in the TAS5086 family?
Yes, the TAS5086DBT shares identical pinout, register map, and electrical specifications with the TAS5086PAP (HTQFP) and TAS5086DBTR (tape-and-reel TSSOP). The only differences are package type (TSSOP vs. HTQFP) and packaging format (tube vs. reel); all three variants are functionally interchangeable in the same PCB footprint when using the DBT variant.
