STA369Sound terminal 2.1-channel high-efficiency digital audio system | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 2 | Active | The STA369BW is an integrated solution of digital audio processing, digital amplifier control, and FFX-power output stage, thereby creating a high-power single-chip FFX®solution comprising high-quality, high-efficiency, and all-digital amplification.
The STA369BW is based on an FFX (fully flexible amplification) processor, a proprietary technology from STMicroelectronics. FFX is the evolution and the enlargement of ST’s ternary technology: the new processor can be configured to work in ternary, binary, binary differential and phase-shift PWM modulation schemes.
The STA369BW contains the ternary, binary and binary differential implementations, a subset of the full capability of the FFX processor.
The STA369BW is part of the Sound Terminal®family that provides full digital audio streaming to the speaker, offering cost effectiveness, low power dissipation and sound enrichment.
The STA369BW power section consists of four independent half-bridges. These can be configured via digital control to operate in different modes. 2.1 channels can be provided by two half-bridges and a single full-bridge, providing up to 2 x 15 W + 1 x 30 W of music output power, by using standard 4 and 8 Ω speakers. Two channels can be provided by two full-bridges, providing up to 2 x 30 W, by using standard 8 Ω speaker at 22 V. The IC can also be configured as 2.1 channels with 2 x 30 W provided by the device and external power for FFX power drive. Please refer to the package thermal characteristics and application suggestions for more details.
Also provided in the STA369BW are a full assortment of digital processing features. This includes up to 8 programmable biquads (EQ) per channel. Special digital signal processing techniques are available in order to manage low-frequency quantization noise in case of very low frequency cutoff filter thresholds. The coefficient range -4..4 allows the easy implementation of high shelf filters. Available presets allow the advantage of earlier time-to-market by substantially reducing the amount of software development needed for certain functions. This includes audio preset volume loudness, preset volume curves and preset EQ settings. There are also new advanced AM radio interference reduction modes. The dual-band DRC dynamically equalizes the system to provide speaker linear frequency response regardless of output power level. This feature independently processes the two bands, controlling dynamically the output power level in each band, thus providing better sound clarity.
The serial audio data input interface accepts all possible formats, including the popular I2S format. Three channels of FFX processing are provided. This high-quality conversion from PCM audio to FFX PWM switching waveform provides over 100 dB SNR and dynamic range. |

STA516500W FFX Digital Amplifier Power Stage | Audio | 2 | Active | The STA516BE is a monolithic quad half-bridge stage in multipower BCD Technology. The device can be used as dual-bridge or reconfigured, by connecting pin CONFIG to pins VDD, as a single-bridge with double-current capability or as a half-bridge (binary mode) with half-current capability.
A cost-effective, high fidelity audio system can be designed using ST chipset, including a modulator (e.g.the STA309A or STA321) and the STA516BE. This system only requires a simple passive LC demodulation filter to deliver high-quality, high efficiency audio amplification with prove EMI compliance. The efficiency of this digital amplifier is greater than 90% into 8 Ω speakers, enabling the use of smaller power supplies and heatsinks.
The STA516BE has an innovative integrated protection system, safeguarding the device against different fault conditions that could damage the overall system. |
STA5181340 V, 3.5 A quad power half-bridge digital audio amplifier | Amplifiers | 1 | Active | The STA518 is a monolithic quad half-bridge stage in multipower BCD technology. The device can be used also as dual bridge or reconfigured, by connecting the CONFIG pin to the Vddpin, as a single bridge with double current capacity.
The device is particularly designed to make the output stage of a stereo all-digital high-efficiency (DDX™) amplifier capable of delivering an output power of 24 W x 4 channels @ THD = 10% at VCC30 V into a 4 Ω load in single-ended configuration.
It can also deliver 50 + 50 W @ THD = 10% at VCC29 V as output power into an 8 Ω load in BTL configuration and 70 W @ THD = 10% at VCC34 V into 8 Ω in a single paralleled BTL configuration.
The input pins have a threshold proportional to the VLpin voltage. |
