Description STA323W
1 Description
The STA323W is a single-chip audio system comprising digital audio processing, digital
amplifier control and a DDX
®
power-output stage. The STA323W uses all-digital
amplification to provide high-power, high-quality and high-efficiency.
The STA323W power section consists of four independent half-bridges. These can be
configured, by digital control, to operate in the following modes.
" Tw o channels, provided by two half-bridges, and a single full-bridge giving up to
2 x 10 W + 1 x 20 W of power output.
" Two channels, provided by two full-bridges, giving up to 2 x 20 W of power.
" A single, parallel, full-bridge channel capable of high-current operation and giving
1 x 40W output.
The STA323W also provides a full set of digital processing features. This includes up to four
programmable 28-bit biquads (EQ) per channel, and bass and treble tone control.
AutoModes™ enable a time-to-market advantage by substantially reducing the amount of
software development needed for specific functions. These includes auto volume loudness,
preset volume curves and preset EQ settings. New advanced AM radio-interference
reduction modes are also provided.
The serial audio data input interface accepts all existing formats, including the I
Three channels of DDX
®
processing are provided. This high-quality conversion from PCM
2
S.
audio to DDX patented 3-state PWM switching provides over 100 dB of SNR and dynamic
range.

STA323W Description
1.1 EQ processing
Two channels of input data (re-sampled if necessary) at 96 kHz are provided to the EQ
processing block. In these blocks, up to four user-defined Biquads can be applied to each of
the two channels.
Pre-scaling, DC-blocking high-pass, de-emphasis, bass, and tone control filters can also be
implemented by means of configuration parameter settings.
The entire EQ block can be bypassed for all channels simultaneously by setting the DSPB
bit to 1. The CxEQBP bits can also be used to bypass the EQ functionality on a per channel
basis. Figure 3 shows the internal signal flow through the EQ block.

3.2 Pin description
OUT1A, 1B, 2A and 2B (pins 16, 10, 9 and 3)
The half-bridge PWM outputs 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B provide the inputs signals to the speakers.
RESET (pin 22)
Driving RESET low sets all outputs low and returns all register settings to their default
(reset) values. The reset is asynchronous to the internal clock.
SDA, SCL (pins 24, 23)
The SDA (I2C Data) and SCL (I2C Clock) pins operate according to the I2C specification
(See Chapter 6 on page 33 .) Fast-mode (400 kB/s) I
VDDA, GNDA (pins 29,28)
The phase locked loop power is applied here. This +3.3V supply must be well decoupled
and filtered for good noise immunity since the audio performance of the device depends
upon the PLL circuit.
2
C communication is supported.
15/77
Pin out STA323W
CLK (pin 27)
This is the master clock input used by the digital core. The master clock must be an integer
multiple of the LR clock frequency. Typically, the master clock frequency is 12.288 MHz
(256 * fs) for a 48kHz sample rate; it is the default setting at power-up. Care must be taken
to provide the device with the nominal system clock frequency; over-clocking the device may
result in anomalous operation, such as inability to communicate.
PLL_FILTER (pin 26)
This is the connection for the external filter components for the PLL loop compensation.
Refer to the schematic diagram Figure 7: Power schematic for 1 mono parallel channel on
page 13 for the recommended circuit.
BICKI (pin 32)
The serial or bit clock input is for framing each data bit. The bit clock frequency is typically
64 * fs using I
2
S serial format.
SDI (pin 30)
This is the serial data input where PCM audio information enters the device. Six format
choices are available including I
of 16, 18, 20 and 24 bits.
2
S, left or right justified, LSB or MSB first, with word widths
LRCKI (pin 31)
The left/right clock input is for data word framing. The clock frequency is at the input sample
rate, fs.

Figure 12 shows the full-scale output power (0 dBFS digital input with unity amplifier gain)
as a function of power supply voltage for 4, 6, and 8 Ω loads in either DDX

mode or binary
full bridge mode. Output power is constrained for higher impedance loads by the maximum
voltage limit of the STA323W and by the over-current protection limit for lower impedance
loads. The minimum threshold for the over-current protection circuit of the STA323W is 4 A
(at 25° C) but the typical threshold is 6 A for the device. The solid curves shows the typical
output power capability of the device. The dotted curves shows the output power capability
constrained to the minimum current specification of the STA323W. The output power curves
assume proper thermal management of the power device's internal dissipation.

Figure 13 shows the mono mode output power as a function of power supply voltages for
loads of 4, 6, 8 and 16 Ω. The same current limits as those given for Figure 12 apply, except
output current is 8 A minimum, with 12 A typical in the mono-bridge configuration. The solid
curves show typical performance and dashed curves depict the minimum current limit. The
output power curves assume proper thermal management of the power device internal
dissipation.

Figure 14 shows the output power as a function of power supply voltages for loads of 4, 6,

typical performance. Minimum current limit is not reached for these combinations of voltage
and load impedance. The output power curves assume proper thermal management of the
power device internal dissipation.
