The STA333BW is an integrated solution of digital audio processing, digital amplifier
controls and power output stages to create a high-power single-chip FFX digital amplifier
with high-quality and high-efficiency. Three channels of FFX processing are provided. The
FFX processor implements the ternary, binary and binary differential processing capabilities
of the full FFX processor.
The STA333BW is part of the Sound Terminal
streaming to the speakers and offers cost effectiveness, low power dissipation and sound
enrichment.
The power section consists of four independent half-bridges. These can be configured via
digital control to operate in different modes.
For example, 2.1 channels can be provided by two half-bridges and a single full-bridge,
supplying up to 2 x 9 W + 1 x 20 W of output power or two channels can be provided by two
full-bridges, supplying up to 2 x 20 W of output power.
The IC can also be configured as 2.1 channels with 2 x 20 W supplied by the device plus a
drive for an external FFX power amplifier, such as STA533WF or STA515W.
The serial audio data input interface accepts all possible formats, including the popular I
format. The high-quality conversion from PCM audio to FFX PWM switching provides over
100 dB of SNR and of dynamic range.

Also provided in the STA333BW are a full assortment of digital processing features. This
includes up to 5 programmable biquads (EQ) per channel. Available presets enable a
time-to-market advantage by substantially reducing the amount of software development
needed for functions such as audio preset volume loudness, preset volume curves and
preset EQ settings. There are also new advanced AM radio interference reduction modes.
The DRC dynamically equalizes the system to provide a linear frequency speaker response
regardless of output power level.

Processing data pathsSTA333BW
4 Processing data paths
Figure 6 and Figure 7 below show the data processing paths inside STA333BW. The whole
processing chain is composed of two consecutive sections. In the first one, dual-channel
processing is implemented and in the second section each channel is fed into the post
mixing block either to generate a third channel (typically used in 2.1 output configuration and
with crossover filters enabled) or to have the channels processed by the DRC block (2.0
output configuration with crossover filters used to define the cut-off frequency of the two
bands).
The first section, Figure 6, begins with a 2x oversampling FIR filter providing 2 * f
audio
S
processing. Then a selectable high-pass filter removes the DC level (enabled if HPB = 0).
The left and right channel processing paths can include up to 8 filters, depending on the
selected configuration (bits BQL, BQ5, BQ6, BQ7 and XO[3:0]). By default, four user
programmable, independent filters per channel are enabled, plus the preconfigured
de-emphasis, bass and treble controls (BQL = 0, BQ5 = 0, BQ6 = 0, BQ7 = 0).
If the coefficient sets for the two channels are linked (BQL = 1) it is possible to use the
de-emphasis, bass and treble filters in a user defined configuration (provided the relevant
BQx bits are set). In this case both channels use the same processing coefficients and can
have up to seven filters each. If BQL = 0 the BQx bits are ignored and the fifth, sixth and
seventh filters are configured as de-emphasis, bass and treble controls, respectively.

Moreover, the common 8th filter can be available on both channels provided the predefined
crossover frequencies are not used, XO[3:0] = 0, and the DRC is not used.
In the second section, Figure 7, mixing and crossover filters are available. If DRC is not
enabled they are fully user-programmable and allow the generation of a third channel
(2.1 outputs). Alternatively, in mode DRC, these blocks are used to split the sub-band and
define the cut-off frequencies of the two bands. A prescaler and a final postscaler allow full
control over the signal dynamics before and after the filtering stages. A mixer function is also
available.

I2C bus specificationSTA333BW
5 I2C bus specification
The STA333BW 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
STA333BW is always a slave device in all of its communications. It supports up to 400 kb/s
(fast-mode bit rate).
For correct operation of the I
has a frequency at least 10 times higher than the frequency of the applied SCL clock.
5.1 Communication protocol
5.1.1 Data transition or change
Data changes on the SDA line must only occur when the clock SCL is low. A SDA transition
while the clock is high is used to identify a START or STOP condition.
2
C interface ensure that the master clock generated by the PLL
5.1.2 Start condition
START is identified by a high to low transition of the data bus, SDA, while the clock, 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 SDA while SCL is stable in the high state. A
STOP condition terminates communication between STA333BW and the bus master.
5.1.4 Data input
During the data input the STA333BW samples the SDA signal on the rising edge of 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 STA333BW, the master must initiate
with a start condition. Following this, the master sends onto the SDA line 8-bits (MSB first)
corresponding to the device select address and read or write mode bit.
The seven most significant bits are the device address identifiers, corresponding to the I
bus definition. In the STA333BW the I
the SA pin configuration, 0x38 when SA = 0, and 0x3A when SA = 1.
2
C interface has two device addresses depending on
2
C
The eighth bit (LSB) identifies a read or write operation (R/W); this is set to 1 for read and to
0 for write. After a START condition the STA333BW identifies the device address on the SDA
bus and if a match is found, acknowledges the identification during the 9th bit time frame.
The byte following the device identification is the address of a device register.
18/67Doc ID 13773 Rev 3
STA333BWI2C bus specification
5.3 Write operation
Following the START condition the master sends a device select code with the RW bit set
to 0. The STA333BW acknowledges this and then waits for the byte of internal address.
After receiving the internal byte address the STA333BW 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
STA333BW. 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.

5.4 Read operation
5.4.1 Current address byte read
Following the START condition the master sends a device select code with the RW bit set
to 1. The STA333BW acknowledges this and then responds by sending one byte of data.
The master then terminates the transfer by generating a STOP condition.
5.4.2 Current address multi-byte read
The multi-byte read modes can start from any internal address. Sequential data bytes are
read from sequential addresses within the STA333BW. The master acknowledges each
data byte read and then generates a STOP condition terminating the transfer.
5.4.3 Random address byte read
Following the START condition the master sends a device select code with the RW bit set
to 0. The STA333BW acknowledges this and then the master writes the internal address
byte. After receiving, the internal byte address the STA333BW again responds with an
acknowledgement. The master then initiates another START condition and sends the device
select code with the RW bit set to 1. The STA333BW acknowledges this and then responds
by sending one byte of data. The master then terminates the transfer by generating a STOP
condition.

The external clock frequency provided to the XTI pin must be a multiple of the input sample
frequency (f

s
The relationship between the input clock and the input sample rate is determined by both
the MCSx and the IR (input rate) register bits. The MCSx bits determine the PLL factor
generating the internal clock and the IR bit determines the oversampling ratio used
internally.
Selects internal interpolation ratio based on input I
sample frequency
The STA333BW has variable interpolation (oversampling) settings such that internal
processing and FFX output rates remain consistent. The first processing block interpolates
by either 2-times or 1-time (pass-through) or provides a 2-times downsample. The
oversampling ratio of this interpolation is determined by the IR bits.

This bit sets the behavior of the IC after a thermal warning disappears. If TWRB is enabled
the device automatically restores the normal gain and output limiting is no longer active. If it
is disabled the device keeps the output limit active until a reset is asserted or until TWRB set
to 0. This bit works in conjunction with TWAB
Bit TWAB enables automatic output limiting when a power stage thermal warning condition
persists for longer than 400ms. When the feature is active (TWAB = 0) the desired output

bank, is applied. The way the limiting acts after the warning condition disappears is
controlled by bit TWRB.
The on-chip power block provides feedback to the digital controller which is used to indicate
a fault condition (either overcurrent or thermal). When fault is asserted, the power control
block attempts a recovery from the fault by asserting the 3-state output, holding it for period
of time in the range of 0.1 ms to 1 second, as defined by the fault-detect recovery constant
register (FDRC registers 0x2B-0x2C), then toggling it back to normal condition. This
sequence is repeated as log as the fault indication exists. This feature is enabled by default
but can be bypassed by setting the FDRB control bit to 1. The fault condition is also
asserted by a low-state pulse of the normally high INT_LINE output pin.

Serial data interface
The STA333BW audio serial input interfaces with standard digital audio components and
accepts a number of serial data formats. STA333BW always acts as slave when receiving
audio input from standard digital audio components. Serial data for two channels is provided
using three inputs: left/right clock LRCKI, serial clock BICKI, and serial data SDI.
Bits SAI and bit SAIFB are used to specify the serial data format. The default serial data
format is I

S, MSB first. Available formats are shown in the tables and figure that follow.

STA333BWRegister description
To make the STA333BW work properly, the serial audio interface LRCKI clock must be
synchronous to the PLL output clock. It means that:
N-4< = (frequency of PLL clock) / (frequency of LRCKI) = < N+4 cycles,
where N depends on the settings in Table 12 on page 23
the PLL must be locked.
If these two conditions are not met, and IDE bit (register 0x05, bit 2) is set to 1, the
STA333BW immediately mutes the I
2
S PCM data out (provided to the processing block) and
it freezes any active processing task.
Clock desynchronization can happen during STA333BW operation because of source
switching or TV channel change. To avoid audio side effects, like click or pop noise, it is
strongly recommended to complete the following actions:
1. soft volume change
2
2. I
C read / write instructions
while the serial audio interface and the internal PLL are still synchronous.

Overcurrent warning adjustment bypass
Table 25.Overcurrent warning bypass
BitR/WRSTNameDescription
7R/W1OCRB
The OCRB is used to indicate how STA333BW behaves when an overcurrent warning
condition occurs. If OCRB = 0 and the overcurrent condition happens, the power control
block forces an adjustment to the modulation limit (default is -3 dB) in an attempt to
eliminate the overcurrent warning condition. Once the overcurrent warning clipping
adjustment is applied, it remains in this state until reset is applied or OCRB is set to 1. The
level of adjustment can be changed via the TWOCL (thermal warning / overcurrent limit)
setting at address 0x37 of the user defined coefficient RAM (Section 6.7.7 on page 54). The
OCRB can be enabled when the output bridge is already on.
0R/W0HPB1: bypass internal AC coupling digital high-pass filter
The STA333BW features an internal digital high-pass filter for the purpose of AC coupling.
The purpose of this filter is to prevent DC signals from passing through a FFX amplifier. DC
signals can cause speaker damage. When HPB = 0, this filter is enabled.

0: limiters act in anticlipping mode
1: limiters act in dynamic range compression mode
Both limiters can be used in one of two ways, anticlipping or dynamic range compression.
When used in anticlipping mode the limiter threshold values are constant and dependent on
the limiter settings. In dynamic range compression mode the limiter threshold values vary
with the volume settings allowing a nighttime listening mode that provides a reduction in the
dynamic range regardless of the volume level.
Setting the ZDE bit enables the zero-detect automatic mute. The zero-detect circuit looks at
the data for each processing channel at the output of the crossover (bass management)
filter. If any channel receives 2048 consecutive zero value samples (regardless of fs) then
that individual channel is muted if this function is enabled.

The STA333BW can be configured to support different output configurations. For each PWM
output channel a PWM slot is defined. A PWM slot is always 1 / (8 * fs) seconds length. The
PWM slot define the maximum extension for PWM rise and fall edge, that is, rising edge as
far as the falling edge cannot range outside PWM slot boundaries.

Register descriptionSTA333BW
The PWDN register is used to place the IC in a low-power state. When PWDN is written
as 0, the output begins a soft-mute. After the mute condition is reached, EAPD is asserted
to power down the power-stage, then the master clock to all internal hardware expect the
2
I
C block is gated. This places the IC in a very low power consumption state.

0: external power stage power down active
1: normal operation
The EAPD register directly disables / enables the internal power circuitry.
When EAPD = 0, the internal power section is placed in a low-power state (disabled). This
register also controls the FFX4B / EAPD output pin when OCFG = 10.
6.2 Volume control registers (addr 0x06 - 0x0A)
The volume structure of the STA333BW consists of individual volume registers for each
channel and a master volume register that provides an offset to each channels volume
setting. The individual channel volumes are adjustable in 0.5 dB steps from +48 dB
to -80 dB.
As an example if C3VOL = 0x00 or +48 dB and MVOL = 0x18 or -12 dB, then the total gain
for channel 3 = +36 dB.
The channel mutes provide a “soft mute” with the volume ramping down to mute in
4096 samples from the maximum volume setting at the internal processing rate
(approximately 96 kHz).
A “hard (instantaneous) mute” can be obtained by programming a value of 0xFF (255) in any
channel volume register. When volume offsets are provided via the master volume register
any channel whose total volume is less than -80 dB is muted.
All changes in volume take place at zero-crossings when ZCE = 1 (Configuration register E
(addr 0x04)) on a per channel basis as this creates the smoothest possible volume
transitions. When ZCE = 0, volume updates occur immediately.

The STA333BW includes two independent limiter blocks. The purpose of the limiters is to
automatically reduce the dynamic range of a recording to prevent the outputs from clipping
in anticlipping mode or to actively reduce the dynamic range for a better listening
environment such as a night-time listening mode which is often needed for DVDs. The two
modes are selected via the DRC bit in Configuration register E (addr 0x04) on page 31.
Each channel can be mapped to either limiter or not mapped, meaning that channel will clip
when 0 dBFS is exceeded. Each limiter looks at the present value of each channel that is
mapped to it, selects the maximum absolute value of all these channels, performs the
limiting algorithm on that value, and then if needed adjusts the gain of the mapped channels
in unison.

The limiter attack thresholds are determined by the LxAT registers.
It is recommended in anticlipping mode to set this to 0 dBfs, which corresponds to the
maximum unclipped output power of a FFX amplifier. Since gain can be added digitally
within the STA333BW it is possible to exceed 0 dBfs or any other LxAT setting, when this
occurs, the limiter, when active, automatically starts reducing the gain. The rate at which the
gain is reduced when the attack threshold is exceeded is dependent upon the attack rate
register setting for that limiter. Gain reduction occurs on a peak-detect algorithm.
The limiter release thresholds are determined by the LxRT registers.
The release of limiter, when the gain is again increased, is dependent on a RMS-detect
algorithm. The output of the volume / limiter block is passed through a RMS filter. The output
of this filter is compared to the release threshold, determined by the Release Threshold
register. When the RMS filter output falls below the release threshold, the gain is again
increased at a rate dependent upon the Release Rate register. The gain can never be
increased past its set value and, therefore, the release only occurs if the limiter has already
48/67Doc ID 13773 Rev 3
STA333BWRegister description
reduced the gain. The release threshold value can be used to set what is effectively a
minimum dynamic range, this is helpful as over limiting can reduce the dynamic range to
virtually zero and cause program material to sound “lifeless”.
In AC mode, the attack and release thresholds are set relative to full-scale. In DRC mode,
the attack threshold is set relative to the maximum volume setting of the channels mapped
to that limiter and the release threshold is set relative to the maximum volume setting plus
the attack threshold.

The mechanism for writing a set of coefficients to RAM provides a method of updating the
five coefficients corresponding to a given biquad (filter) simultaneously to avoid possible
unpleasant acoustic side-effects. When using this technique, the 6-bit address specifies the
address of the biquad b1 coefficient (for example, 0, 5, 10, 20, 35 decimal), and the
STA333BW generates the RAM addresses as offsets from this base value to write the
complete set of coefficient data.

User-defined EQ
The STA333BW can be programmed for four EQ filters (biquads) per each of the two input
channels. The biquads use the following equation:
Y[n] = 2 * (b
= b
where Y[n] represents the output and X[n] represents the input. Multipliers are 24-bit signed
fractional multipliers, with coefficient values in the range of 0x800000 (-1) to 0x7FFFFF
(0.9999998808).
Coefficients stored in the user defined coefficient RAM are referenced in the following
manner:
CxHy0 = b
CxHy1 = b
1
2
/ 2
CxHy2 = -a1 / 2
CxHy3 = -a
2
CxHy4 = b0 / 2
where x represents the channel and the y the biquad number. For example, C2H41 is the b
coefficient in the fourth biquad for channel 2.
Crossover and biquad #8
Additionally, the STA333BW can be programmed for a high-pass filter (processing
channels 1 and 2) and a low-pass filter (processing channel 3) to be used for bassmanagement crossover when the XO setting is 000 (user-defined). Both of these filters
when defined by the user (rather than using the preset crossover filters) are second order
filters that use the biquad equation given above. They are loaded into the C12H0-4 and
C3Hy0-4 areas of RAM noted in Tab le 7 1, addresses 0x28 to 0x31.
By default, all user-defined filters are pass-through where all coefficients are set to 0, except
the b
/ 2 coefficient which is set to 0x400000 (representing 0.5)
0
Prescale
The STA333BW provides a multiplication for each input channel for the purpose of scaling
the input prior to EQ. This pre-EQ scaling is accomplished by using a 24-bit signed
fractional multiplier, with 0x800000 = -1 and 0x7FFFFF = 0.9999998808. The scale factor
for this multiply is loaded into RAM. All channels can use the channel-1 prescale factor by
setting the Biquad link bit. By default, all prescale factors (RAM addresses 0x32 to 0x33) are
set to 0x7FFFFF.
Postscale
The STA333BW provides one additional multiplication after the last interpolation stage and
the distortion compensation on each channel. This postscaling is accomplished by using a
24-bit signed fractional multiplier, with 0x800000 = -1 and 0x7FFFFF = 0.9999998808. The
scale factor for this multiply is loaded into RAM. This postscale factor can be used in
conjunction with an ADC equipped micro-controller to perform power-supply error
correction. All channels can use the channel-1 postscale factor by setting the postscale link
bit. By default, all postscale factors (RAM addresses 0x34 to 0x36) are set to 0x7FFFFF.
When line output is being used, channel-3 postscale affects both channels 3 and 4.

Thermal warning and overcurrent adjustment (TWOCL)
The STA333BW provides a simple mechanism for reacting to overcurrent or thermal
warning detection in the power block. When the warning occurs, the TWOCL value is used
to provide output attenuation clipping on all channels.
The amount of attenuation to be applied in this situation can be adjusted by modifying the
overcurrent and thermal warning limiting value (RAM addr 0x37). By default, the overcurrent
postscale adjustment factor is set to 0x5A9DF7 (that is, -3 dB). Once the limiting is applied,
it remains until the device is reset or according to the TWRB and OCRB settings.

MPCC bits determine the 16 MSBs of the MPC compensation coefficient. This coefficient is
used in place of the default coefficient when MPCV = 1.
FDRC bits specify the 16-bit fault detect recovery time delay. When FAULT is asserted, the
TRISTATE output is immediately asserted low and held low for the time period specified by
this constant. A constant value of 0x0001 in this register is approximately 0.083 ms. The
default value of 0x000C gives approximately 0.1 ms.
Note:0x0000 is a reserved value for these registers.

7 Applications
7.1 Applications schematic
Figure 20 below shows the typical applications schematic for STA333BW. Special attention
has to be paid to the layout of the PCB. All the decoupling capacitors have to be placed as
close as possible to the device to limit spikes on all the supplies.
7.2 PLL filter circuit
It is recommended to use the above circuit and values for the PLL loop filter to achieve the
best performance from the device in general applications. Note that the ground of this filter
circuit has to be connected to the ground of the PLL without any resistive path. Concerning
the component values, it must be taken into account that the greater the filter bandwidth, the
less is the lock time but the higher is the PLL output jitter.
7.3 Typical output configuration
Figure 19 shows the typical output configuration used for BTL stereo mode. Please contact

and with 16 via holes is 24 °C/W in natural air convection.
The dissipated power within the device depends primarily on the supply voltage, load
impedance and output modulation level.
Thus, the maximum estimated dissipated power for the STA333BW is:
2 x 20 W @ 8 Ω, 18 VPd max is approximately 4 W
2 x 9 W + 1 x 20 W @ 4 Ω, 8 Ω, 18 VPd max is approximately 5 W
