A little progress.

I looked up the TI TAS 1020B datasheet.

Page 21. The EEPROM header got a field called MaxPower given in n * 2mA.

That's probably the relevant parameter in the firmware.


But that means 1 parameter = 1 harcoded value.

You most probably wouldn't be able to handle bus and external power with this.
The manufacturer would have to choose the worst case scenario (bus power).

On a first glance it looks to me that the 1020B would support 2 scenarios only.
Bus PS only or External PS only. A combined scenario wouldn't be possible.
