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 fullbridges, 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-tomarket 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 dualband 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 I
2
S
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.

Warning:Stresses beyond those listed in Tabl e 3 above may cause

“Recommended operating conditions” are not implied.
Exposure to AMR conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability. In the real application, power supplies with
nominal values rated within the recommended operating
conditions, may rise beyond the maximum operating
conditions for a short time when no or very low current is

STA369BWProcessing data paths
5 Processing data paths
Figure 16 and 17 illustrate the data processing paths inside the STA369BW.
The whole processing chain is composed of two consecutive sections. In the first one, dualchannel processing is implemented, as described below, and then each channel is fed into
the post-mixing block allowing to generate either a third channel (typically used in 2.1 output
configuration and with crossover filters enabled) or to have the channels processed by the
dual-band DRC block (2.0 output configuration with crossover filters used to define the cutoff
frequency of the two bands).
The first section begins with a 2x oversampling FIR filter allowing for 2*Fs audio processing.
Then a selectable high-pass filter removes the DC level (enabled if HFB=0).
The channel 1 and 2 processing chain can include up to 8 filters, depending on the selected
configuration (bits BQL, BQ5, BQ6, BQ7 and XO[3:0]).
By default 4 independent filters per channel are enabled, plus the pre-configured DeEmphasis, Bass and Treble controls (BQL=0, BQ5=0, BQ6=0, BQ7=0).
If the coefficient sets are linked (BQL=1) it’s then possible to use De-Emphasis, Bass and
Treble filters in a user-defined configuration (provided the relevant BQx bits are set). In other
words, both channels will use the same processing coefficients and can have up to 7 filters
each. Note that if BQL=0 the BQx bits are ignored and the 5th, 6th and 7th filters are
configured as, respectively, De-Emphasis, Bass and Treble controls.
Moreover the common 8th filter, from the subsequent processing section, can be available
on both channels (provided the pre-defined crossover frequencies are not used, XO[3:0]=0,
and the dual-band DRC is not used).
In the second section mixing and crossover filters are available. If B
(Figure 17), they are fully user-programmable and allow generating a third channel (2.1
outputs). Alternatively, in B
2
DRC mode, those blocks will be used to split the sub-band and
2
DRC is not enabled
define the cutoff frequencies of the two bands. A prescaler and a final post-scaler allow full
control over the signal dynamic respectively before and after the filtering stages. A mixer
function is also available.

STA369BWI2C bus specification
6 I2C bus specification
The STA369BW 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 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 data to the serial clock for synchronization.
The STA369BW is always a slave device in all of its communications. It supports up to
400 kb/sec rate (fast-mode bit rate). The STA369BW I
interface works properly only in the case that the master clock generated by the PLL has a
frequency 10 times higher compared to the frequency of the applied SCL signal.
6.1 Communication protocol
6.1.1 Data transition or change
Data changes on the SDA line must only occur when the SCL clock is low. An SDA transition
while the clock is high is used to identify a START or STOP condition.
2
C is a slave-only interface. The I2C
6.1.2 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.
6.1.3 Stop condition
STOP is identified by a 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
the STA369BW and the bus master.
6.1.4 Data input
During data input the STA369BW 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.
6.2 Device addressing
To start communication between the master and the STA369BW, the master must initiate a
start condition. Following this, the master sends 8 bits (MSB first), corresponding to the
device select address and read or write mode, to the SDA line.
The seven most significant bits are the device address identifiers, corresponding to the I
bus definition. In the STA369BW the I
the SA port 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 the read or write operation RW. This bit is set to 1 in read
mode and to 0 for write mode. After a START condition the STA369BW identifies on the bus
the device address and if a match is found, it acknowledges the identification on the SDA
