STA662 AM/FM, DAB/DAB+/DMB-A, DRM multi-standard digital radio receiver

The STA662 from STMicroelectronics is a system-on-chip, based on multiple microcontroller and DSP cores, designed for demodulating and decoding the most common digital radio standards and the legacy AM/FM. The digital radio standards supported by STA662 are: DAB (ETSI EN 300 401), DAB+ (ETSI TS 102 563), DMB (ETSI TS 102 428), DRM (ETSI ES 201 980).

The STA662 implements the three main functions of a Eureka-147 DAB and DRM receiver specification.

The synchronization: including sampling clock and carrier frequency synchronization;The channel demodulation and decoding: including OFDM demodulation and convolutional decoding;The source decoding: consisting of audio and data decoding. The source decoding can be moved on an external application processor (a.k.a. SDEC - Source DECoder) so that the additional resources available on the STA662 IC can be used to implement a second DAB demodulation chain.

STA662 can demodulate in parallel two DAB streams and legacy AM or FM phase diversity stream.

AM and FM signal processing and audio functions are implemented on STA662 using dedicated resources, different from the resources used for the digital radio stream demodulation. FM phase diversity is implemented, as an alternative dual FM channels processing is possible, including the possibility to commute seamlessly from FM phase diversity to FM single tuner + FM background channels.To pursue the best combination in terms of current consumption, flexibility, system and device cost, these functions are implemented by a combination of hardware and software. Functional blocks which are standard and computationally intensive are implemented by custom logic. Functional blocks where flexibility is a key feature are implemented in software.

The STA662 combines it all into a single IC consisting of several hardware blocks implementing custom logic, an ARM946™ microcontroller one 24 bit DSP Emerald core and one 32 bit DSP xP70 core to guarantee the proper level of flexibility, low current consumption.

Such flexibility enables the STA662 to be ready for future evolution, including the possibility to implement new radio standards (i.e. HD-Radio™), and allows the implementation of specific and optional features.

Multiple interfaces such as SPI, UART, I²C and I2S, allow a flexible utilization of the device and several applications can be addressed, including T-DMB (video), by connecting an additional application co-processor (i.e. STA2165).

The STA662 implements a additional SDR-SDRAM interface thus allowing to implement memory-consuming firmware like DAB middleware and DAB/FM seamless switching.

To build a complete DAB/FM/AM receiver, the STA662 needs to be fed by the STA610 RF Multistandard front-end or from the STA610A RF AM/FM front-end. STA662 supports up to four RF FE connected in parallel.

The STA662 is assembled in TFBGA289 package
