GEN E RA L DESCR I PTION

The TA2024C is a 15W/ch continuous average two-channel Class-T Digital Audio Power Amplifier IC

using Tripath’s proprietary Digital Power Processing™ technology. Class-T amplifiers offer both the

audio fidelity of Class-AB and the power efficiency of Class-D amplifiers.

The TA2024C has incorporated specific changes to improve the click and pop performance over

previous devices such as TA2024 and TA2024B. The TA2024C is recommended for all new designs

that previously used the TA2024 or TA2024B.
