I got this from ChatGPT:
ME: Does the Texas instruments 3255 amplifier chip have built in spike protection for clipping?
CHATGPT: Yes, the Texas Instruments TPA3255 amplifier chip does have built-in spike protection to prevent clipping and potential damage to the amplifier or speakers.
The TPA3255 chip includes a range of protection features, including over-current protection, over-temperature protection, and DC speaker protection. In addition, the chip has a built-in limiter to prevent clipping by dynamically adjusting the gain of the amplifier in response to the input signal level. The limiter works by reducing the gain of the amplifier when the input signal level exceeds a certain threshold, preventing the signal from reaching the maximum output level of the amplifier. The TPA3255 chip also includes a range of diagnostic and monitoring features, including DC offset detection, fault reporting, and thermal monitoring, which can help to improve the reliability and safety of the amplifier. Overall, the TPA3255 chip is designed to provide high-quality audio performance while ensuring the safety and protection of the amplifier and speakers.
LOL. Wow. Still doesn't tell us how it is implemented and when I asked about the 08 Pro, it said it didn't know because the specifications information is not available.
