STA321:4-channel digital audio system with FFX driver

The STA321 is a single chip solution for digital audio processing applications of up to 4.0 channels.

The STA321 is part of the Sound Terminal™ family that together with the digital power stage provides full digital audio streaming to the speaker, offering cost effectiveness, low energy dissipation and sound enrichment.

The STA321 input section consists of two multiplexed stereo analog inputs, a 16-bit ADC and two independent digital input interfaces. The serial audio data input interface accepts all possible formats, including the popular I2S format. There is also a digital output interface fed by the ADC or by the digitally processed signals.
