Product details
Overview
TAS5086DBTR 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 and THD < 0.06%, and drives six PWM output channels for single-ended or bridge-tied load configurations in home theater and AV receiver applications.
For engineers reviewing the TAS5086DBTR datasheet, TAS5086DBTR pinout, TAS5086DBTR application, or TAS5086DBTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 38-pin TSSOP package, I2C slave control interface operating up to 400 kHz, 3.3-V-only digital supply with 5-V-tolerant control inputs, integrated bass management with dual biquads in channel 6, and AM interference avoidance capability via adjustable PWM clock modulation.
Technical Context
The TAS5086DBTR implements a fourth-order delta-sigma noise shaper with 8× oversampling at 44.1/48 kHz and supports 12×, 4×, and 2× oversampling at other rates up to 192 kHz. Its PLL locks to MCLK frequencies of 128–512 fS (max 50 MHz) or uses an internal oscillator when MCLK is unstable.
It operates as a strict clock slave-accepting MCLK, SCLK, and LRCLK from external sources-and features fully programmable input routing, per-channel volume control (24 dB to –100 dB), DC blocking filters, and digital de-emphasis for 32/44.1/48 kHz. The device includes dedicated subwoofer processing with two programmable biquad filters and supports 1N+1 PWM signaling for direct interfacing with TI's TAS5186, TAS5142, and TAS511x power stages.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar six-channel digital PWM processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5086PAPR | 64-pin HTQFP package; identical electrical specs and register map; higher thermal dissipation rating (1.2 W vs. 0.82 W) | Better suited for high-power, thermally constrained designs requiring PCB heat spreading or forced airflow | Select TAS5086PAPR when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal management supports higher junction temperature |
| TAS5086DBT | Same 38-pin TSSOP package as TAS5086DBTR but without tape-and-reel packaging; identical pinout, timing, and functionality | Intended for prototyping, small-batch builds, or manual assembly where reel packaging is unnecessary | Choose TAS5086DBT for evaluation or low-volume production where tape-and-reel handling is not required |
Compared with TAS5086DBTR, TAS5086PAPR offers superior thermal performance in high-power applications, while TAS5086DBT provides identical functionality in non-reel form-neither is pin-compatible with non-TI alternatives due to proprietary PWM signaling and register architecture.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the TAS5086DBTR?
The TAS5086DBTR supports sampling rates up to 192 kHz. It accepts 32-, 44.1-, 48-, 88.2-, 96-, 176.4-, and 192-kHz input data with automatic detection or manual configuration via I2C registers. At 192 kHz, it operates with 2× oversampling and fourth-order noise shaping to maintain ≥105-dB dynamic range across the 20 Hz–20 kHz band. The TAS5086DBTR requires MCLK at 512 fS (i.e., 98.304 MHz) for 192-kHz operation.
Does the TAS5086DBTR require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the TAS5086DBTR does not require an external crystal or oscillator. It contains an internal oscillator used for initial I2C communication, automatic sample-rate detection, and MCLK error monitoring. When MCLK is present and stable, the device locks its PLL to that reference; if MCLK becomes unstable or absent, the internal oscillator maintains basic I2C functionality and clock fallback. An external OSC_RES resistor (pin 14) is required to trim oscillator frequency accuracy.
Can the TAS5086DBTR drive both single-ended and bridge-tied load amplifiers?
Yes, the TAS5086DBTR is explicitly designed to drive both single-ended (SE) and bridge-tied load (BTL) Class-D power stages. Its six PWM outputs support 1N+1 signaling and are compatible with TI's TAS5186 (BTL/SE), TAS5142 (BTL/SE), and TAS511x (SE/BTL with minimal external logic). The IC includes optimized PWM sequences for charging AC-coupling capacitors in SE configurations and click/pop suppression for both topologies.
How does the AM interference avoidance feature work in the TAS5086DBTR?
The TAS5086DBTR's AM interference avoidance system dynamically adjusts the PWM switching frequency away from the AM broadcast band (530–1710 kHz) by selecting 7-fS, 8-fS, or 9-fS modulation rates-instead of the default 8× or 4× oversampling-while maintaining audio fidelity. This requires manual sample-rate configuration and disables automatic detection. The feature is activated via I2C register control and is particularly effective in automotive environments where AM radio reception must remain clear during audio playback.
Is the TAS5086DBTR pin-compatible with other devices in the TAS5086 family?
Yes, the TAS5086DBTR is pin-compatible with the TAS5086DBT (same 38-pin TSSOP package, differing only in packaging format) and shares identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and register mapping with the TAS5086PAPR (64-pin HTQFP). All three variants use the same PCB footprint for DBT/DBTR and require no layout changes when substituting within the same package family. However, TAS5086DBTR is not pin-compatible with non-TI PWM processors due to proprietary signal timing and interface requirements.
