Product details
Overview
TAS5558DCA from Texas Instruments is an 8-channel digital audio processor (DAP) with integrated asynchronous sample rate converter (ASRC), PWM modulator, and headphone driver - designed for Blu-ray HTiB and high-definition audio systems. It supports dual 4-channel ASRC banks (up to 192 kHz), delivers >105 dB dynamic range, THD+N < 0.01% at 1 kHz, and drives eight differential PWM outputs plus two dedicated headphone channels.
For engineers reviewing the TAS5558DCA datasheet, TAS5558DCA pinout, TAS5558DCA application, or TAS5558DCA equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-bank ASRC latency (102.53125/FSin + 36.46875/FSout), PSVC-enabled power-supply volume control (12–24 dB range), I²C programmable biquad filters (7 per channel), and support for AD/BD/ternary modulation at 384 kHz switching rate.
Technical Context
The TAS5558DCA implements two independent 4-channel ASRC modules enabling simultaneous processing of two distinct input sampling rates (e.g., 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz), with passband ripple ±0.05 dB and stopband attenuation of 130 dB. Its digital audio path includes 10-channel input muxing, 8-channel processing engine with configurable loudness compensation, dual dynamic range compressors, and 8-channel output mixer.
It integrates a fourth-order noise shaper and 8× oversampling to achieve flat 20 Hz–40 kHz noise floor, supports I²S master/slave operation up to 192 kHz, and features dual differential headphone outputs (PWM_HPP/PWM_HPM L/R) with soft mute and switchover timing (165 ms). Clocking relies on internal PLL locked to 12.288 MHz crystal with external filter components (200 Ω, 10 nF, 100 nF).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital audio processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5548DCA | 6-channel version; no headphone outputs; reduced biquad count (5 per channel); same ASRC latency and PSVC capability | Limited to 5.1-channel systems without headphone monitoring; lower pin count (48-pin HTSSOP) | Select when system requires fewer channels and space-constrained layout; shares software register map with TAS5558DCA |
| CS497016-CQZ | 32-bit floating-point DSP core; no integrated PWM; requires external Class-D drivers; higher MIPS but no native ASRC | Demands full custom firmware development; used where algorithmic flexibility (e.g., beamforming, AI audio) outweighs integration benefits | Choose for applications needing proprietary audio algorithms beyond fixed-function DAP capabilities; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with TAS5558DCA, TAS5548DCA reduces channel count and removes headphone functionality while retaining ASRC and PSVC-ideal for cost-optimized 5.1 systems. CS497016-CQZ offers programmable DSP but requires external PWM stages and full firmware development, making it suitable only where TAS5558DCA's fixed audio pipeline lacks required flexibility.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TAS5558DCA in an audio system?
The TAS5558DCA serves as a complete digital audio processor with integrated asynchronous sample rate conversion, 8-channel PWM modulation, headphone driver, and real-time audio processing (EQ, compression, loudness). It replaces discrete SRC, DAC, and digital volume control stages, directly driving Class-D power stages while supporting DTS-HD Master Audio bandwidth requirements up to 30 kHz.
Does the TAS5558DCA support multiple input sampling rates simultaneously?
Yes, the TAS5558DCA contains two independent 4-channel ASRC modules, allowing concurrent processing of two different input sampling rates - for example, 44.1 kHz from a CD player and 48 kHz from a streaming source. Each bank handles four channels, enabling true multi-format audio routing without external resampling hardware.
How does Power-Supply Volume Control (PSVC) work in the TAS5558DCA?
PSVC in the TAS5558DCA generates a PWM signal (on PSVC/MCLKO pin) that controls an external DC-DC converter to scale the analog supply rail (AVDD_PWM) proportionally to volume level. This improves dynamic range at low volumes by reducing quantization noise floor - a key advantage over fixed-rail Class-D architectures - and enables Class-G-like efficiency without analog preamplifiers.
What are the supported modulation schemes and switching frequencies for the TAS5558DCA PWM outputs?
The TAS5558DCA supports AD (Audio Delta), BD (Binary Delta), and ternary modulation schemes at a fixed 384 kHz switching frequency for input sample rates of 48 kHz, 96 kHz, and 192 kHz. This high oversampling ratio combined with fourth-order noise shaping ensures flat 20 Hz–40 kHz noise floor and >105 dB dynamic range across all supported data rates.
Can the TAS5558DCA drive both speakers and headphones simultaneously?
No - the TAS5558DCA uses the HP_SEL pin to select between speaker and headphone modes. When HP_SEL is low, the two differential headphone outputs (PWM_HPP_L/R and PWM_HPM_L/R) are active and speaker outputs are muted; when HP_SEL is high, all eight PWM speaker outputs are enabled and headphone outputs are disabled. This hardware-controlled switchover prevents signal contention and ensures safe operation.
