Description
The STA308A is a single chip solution for digital
audio processing and control in multi-channel
applications. It provides output capabilities for
®
DDX
(direct digital amplification). In conjunction
with a DDX
quality, high-efficiency, all digital amplification.
The device is extremely versatile, allowing for
input of most digital formats including 6.1/7.1channel and 192 kHz, 24-bit DVD-audio,
DSD/SACD. In 5.1 application the additional 2
channels can be used for audio line-out or
headphone drive. In speaker mode, with 8
channel outputs in parallel, the STA308A can
deliver 1 W (maximum).

Pin description STA308A
4 Pin description
Master volume override (MVO)
This pin enables the user to bypass the volume control on all channels. When MVO is pulled
high, the master volume register is set to 0x00, which corresponds to its full scale setting.
The master volume register setting offsets the individual channel volume settings, which
default to 0 dB.
Serial data in (SDI_12, SDI_34, SDI_56, SDI_78)
Audio information enters the device here. Six format choices are available including I2S,
left- or right-justified, LSB or MSB first, with word widths of 16, 18, 20 and 24 bits.
RESET
Driving this pin low turns off the outputs and returns all settings to their defaults.
I2C bus
The SA, SDA and SCL pins operate per the Phillips I2C specification. See Section 5.
Phase locked loop (PLL)
The phase locked loop section provides the system timing signals and CKOUT.
Clock output (CKOUT)
System synchronization and master clocks are provided by the CKOUT.
PWM outputs (OUT1 through OUT8)
The PWM outputs provide the input signal for the power devices.
External amplifier power-down (EAPD)
This signal can be used to control the power-down of DDX power devices.
Serial data out (SDO_12, SDO_34, SDO_56, SDO_78)
These are the outputs for audio information. Six different formats are available including I2S,
left- or right-justified, LSB or MSB first, with word widths of 16, 18, 20 and 24 bits.
Device power-down (PWDN)
Pulling PWDN low begins the power-down sequence which puts the STA308A into a
low-power state. EAPD (pin 51) goes low approximately 30 ms later.
14/63
STA308A I2C bus operation
5 I2C bus operation
The STA308A supports the I2C protocol via the input ports SCL and SDA_IN (master to
slave) and the output port SDA_OUT (slave to master).
This protocol defines any device that sends data on to the bus as a transmitter and any
device that reads the data as a receiver.
The device that controls the data transfer is known as the master and the other as the slave.
The master always starts the transfer and provides the serial clock for synchronization. The
STA308A is always a slave device in all of its communications.
5.1 Communication protocol
5.1.1 Data transition or change
Data changes on the SDA line must only occur when the SCL clock is low. SDA transition
while the clock is high is used to identify a START or STOP condition.
5.1.2 Start condition
START is identified by a high to low transition of the data bus SDA signal while the clock
signal SCL is stable in the high state. A START condition must precede any command for
data transfer.
5.1.3 Stop condition
STOP is identified by low to high transition of the data bus SDA signal while the clock signal
SCL is stable in the high state. A STOP condition terminates communication between
STA308A and the bus master.
5.1.4 Data input
During the data input the STA308A samples the SDA signal on the rising edge of clock SCL.
For correct device operation the SDA signal must be stable during the rising edge of the
clock and the data can change only when the SCL line is low.
5.2 Device addressing
To start communication between the master and the Omega DDX core, the master must
initiate with a start condition. Following this, the master sends 8 bits onto the SDA line (MSB
first) corresponding to the device select address and read or write mode.
The 7 most significant bits are the device address identifiers, corresponding to the I
definition. In the STA308A the I
port configuration, 0x40 or 0100000x when SA = 0, and 0x42 or 0100001x when SA = 1.

address and if a match is found, it acknowledges the identification on SDA bus during the
th

-bit time. The byte following the device identification byte is the internal space address.
5.3 Write operation
Following the START condition the master sends a device select code with the RW bit set
to 0. The STA308A acknowledges this and the writes for the byte of internal address.
After receiving the internal byte address the STA308A again responds with an
acknowledgement.
5.3.1 Byte write
In the byte write mode the master sends one data byte, this is acknowledged by the Omega
DDX core. The master then terminates the transfer by generating a STOP condition.
5.3.2 Multi-byte write
The multi-byte write modes can start from any internal address. The master generating a
STOP condition terminates the transfer.
