4 Pin description
Master volume override (MVO)
This pin enables the user to bypass the volume control on all channels. When MVO is pulled
high, the master volume register is set to 0x00, which corresponds to its full scale setting.
The master volume register setting offsets the individual channel volume settings, which
default to 0 dB.
Serial data in (SDI_12, SDI_34, SDI_56, SDI_78)
Audio information enters the device here. Six format choices are available including I2S,
left- or right-justified, LSB or MSB first, with word widths of 16, 18, 20 and 24 bits.
RESET
Driving this pin low turns off the outputs and returns all settings to their defaults.
I
2
C bus
The SA, SDA and SCL pins operate per the Phillips I2C specification. See Section 5.
Phase locked loop (PLL)
The phase locked loop section provides the system timing signals and CKOUT.
Clock output (CKOUT)
System synchronization and master clocks are provided by the CKOUT.
PWM outputs (OUT1 through OUT8)
The PWM outputs provide the input signal for the power devices.
External amplifier power-down (EAPD)
This signal can be used to control the power-down of DDX power devices.
Serial data out (SDO_12, SDO_34, SDO_56, SDO_78)
These are the outputs for audio information. Six different formats are available including I2S,
left- or right-justified, LSB or MSB first, with word widths of 16, 18, 20 and 24 bits.
Device power-down (PWDN)
Pulling PWDN low begins the power-down sequence which puts the STA309A into a
low-power state. EAPD (pin 51) goes low approximately 30 ms later.
I2C bus operation STA309A
16/67 Doc ID 13855 Rev 4
5 I2C bus operation
The STA309A 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
STA309A is always a slave device in all of its communications.
5.1 Communication protocol
5.1.1 Data transition or change
Data changes on the SDA line must only occur when the SCL clock is low. SDA transition
while the clock is high is used to identify a START or STOP condition.
5.1.2 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.
5.1.3 Stop condition
STOP is identified by 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
STA309A and the bus master.
5.1.4 Data input
During the data input the STA309A 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.
5.2 Device addressing
To start communication between the master and the Omega DDX core, the master must
initiate with a start condition. Following this, the master sends 8 bits onto the SDA line (MSB
first) corresponding to the device select address and read or write mode.
The 7 most significant bits are the device address identifiers, corresponding to the I2C bus
definition. In the STA309A the I2C interface has two device addresses depending on the SA
port configuration, 0x40 or 0100000x when SA = 0, and 0x42 or 0100001x when SA = 1.
The 8th bit (LSB) identifies read or write operation RW, this bit is set to 1 in read mode and 0
for write mode. After a START condition the STA309A identifies on the bus the device
STA309A I2C bus operation
Doc ID 13855 Rev 4 17/67
address and if a match is found, it acknowledges the identification on SDA bus during the
9th-bit time. The byte following the device identification byte is the internal space address.
5.3 Write operation
Following the START condition the master sends a device select code with the RW bit set
to 0. The STA309A acknowledges this and the writes for the byte of internal address.
After receiving the internal byte address the STA309A 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 Omega
DDX core. 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.

7.2 Register description
7.2.1 Configuration register A (0x00)
The STA309A supports sample rates of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz,
176.4 kHz, 192 kHz, and 2.8224 MHz DSD. Therefore, the internal clocks are:
z65.536 MHz for 32 kHz
z90.3168 MHz for 44.1 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 176.4 kHz, and DSD
z98.304 MHz for 48 kHz, 96 kHz, and 192 kHz
The external clock frequency provided to the XTI pin must be a multiple of the input sample
frequency (fs). The relationship between the input clock and the input sample rate is
determined by both the MCSn and the IRn (input rate) register bits. The MCSn bits
determine the PLL factor generating the internal clock and the IRn bits determine the
oversampling ratio used internally.

Interpolation ratio select
The STA309A has variable interpolation (oversampling) settings such that internal
processing and DDX output rates remain consistent. The first processing block interpolates
by either 4 times, 2 times, or 1 time (pass-through).
The oversampling ratio of this interpolation is determined by the IR bits.
I
Setting the DSPB bit bypasses the biquad function of the Omega DDX core.

7.2.2 Configuration register B (0x01) - serial input formats
Serial data interface
The STA309A audio serial input interfaces with standard digital audio components and
accepts a number of serial data formats. STA309A always acts a slave when receiving audio
input from standard digital audio components. Serial data for eight channels is provided
using 6 input pins: left/right clock LRCKI (pin 10), serial clock BICKI (pin 11), serial data 1
and 2 SDI12 (pin 9), serial data 3 and 4 SDI34 (pin 8), serial data 5 and 6 SDI56 (pin 7), and
serial data 7 and 8 SDI78 (pin 6). The SAI/SAIFB register (Configuration Register B,
address 0x01) is used to specify the serial data format. The default serial data format is I2S,
MSB-first. Available formats are shown in the tables and figure that follow.
Note: Serial input and output formats are specified separately
For example, SAI = 1110 and SAIFB = 1 would specify right-justified 16-bit data, LSB-first.

7.2.3 Configuration register C (0x02) - serial output formats
The STA309A features a serial audio output interface that consists of 8 channels. The serial
audio output always acts as a slave to the serial audio input interface and, therefore, all
output clocks are synchronous with the input clocks. The output sample frequency (fs) is
also equivalent to the input sample frequency. In the case of SACD/DSD input, the serial
audio output acts as a master with an output sampling frequency of 176.4 kHz. The output
serial format can be selected independently from the input format and is done via the SAO
and SAOFB bits.

7.2.6 Configuration register F (0x05)
The STA309A 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 DDX amplifier. DC
signals can cause speaker damage.
If HPB = 1, then the filter that the high-pass filter utilizes is made available as user-
programmable biquad#1.
Both limiters can be used in one of two ways, anti-clipping or dynamic range compression.
When used in anti-clipping 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.
By setting this bit to one de-emphasis will implemented on all channels. When this is used it
takes the place of biquad #7 in each channel and any coefficients using biquad #1 will be
ignored. DSPB (DSP bypass) bit must be set to 0 for de-emphasis to function.

The Postscale function can be used for power-supply error correction. For multi-channel
applications running off the same power-supply, the postscale values can be linked to the
value of channel 1 for ease of use and update the values faster.
For ease of use, all channels can use the biquad coefficients loaded into the channel 1
coefficient RAM space by setting bit BQL to 1. Therefore, any EQ updates only have to be
performed once.

The STA309A features a DDX processing mode that minimizes the amount of noise
generated in frequency range of AM radio. This mode is intended for use when DDX is
operating in a device with an AM tuner active. The SNR of the DDX processing is reduced to
~83 dB in this mode, which is still greater than the SNR of AM radio.
The STA309A features a 2 DDX processing modes that minimize the amount of noise
generated in frequency range of AM radio. This second mode is intended for use when DDX
is operating in a device with an AM tuner active. This mode eliminates the noise-shaper.
Channels 7 and 8 can be configured to be processed and output in such a manner that
headphones can be driven using and appropriate output device. This signal is a differential

Setting the ZDE bit enables the zero-detect automatic mute. The zero-detect circuit looks at
the input data to each processing channel after the channel-mapping block. If any channel
receives 2048 consecutive zero value samples (regardless of fs) then that individual
channel is muted if this function is enabled.
Setting the IDE bit enables this function, which looks at the input I2S data and will

The volume structure of the STA309A consists of individual volume registers for each
channel and a master volume register that provides an offset to each channels volume
setting. There is also an additional offset for each channel called the channel volume trim.
The individual channel volumes are adjustable in 0.5 dB steps from +48 dB to -78 dB. As an
example if C5V = 0xXX or +XXX dB and MV = 0xXX or -XX dB, then the total gain for
channel 5 = XX dB. The channel volume trim is adjustable independently on each channel
from -10 dB to +10 dB in 1 dB steps. The master mute when set to 1 will mute all channels
at once, whereas the individual channel mutes (CnM) will mute only that channel. Both the
master mute and the channel mutes provide a "soft mute" with the volume ramping down to
mute in 8192 samples from the maximum volume setting at the internal processing rate
(~192 kHz). A "hard mute" can be obtained by commanding a value of 0xFF (255) to any
channel volume register or the master volume register. When volume offsets are provided
via the master volume register any channel that whose total volume is less than -91 dB will
be muted. All changes in volume take place at zero-crossings when ZCE = 1 (configuration
register H) on a per channel basis as this creates the smoothest possible volume transitions.
When ZCE = 0, volume updates occur immediately. Each channel also contains an
individual channel volume bypass. If a particular channel has volume bypassed via the
CnVBP = 1 register then only the channel volume setting for that particular channel affects

7.2.32 AUTO1 - Automode™ EQ, volume, GC (0x1F)
By setting AMEQ to any setting other than 00 enables Automode EQ, biquads 1-5 are not
user programmable. Any coefficient settings for these biquads will be ignored. Also when
Automode EQ is used the prescale value for channels 1-6 becomes hard-set to -18 dB.
Automode downmix setting uses channels 7-8 of Mix#1 engine and therefore these
channels of this function are fixed and not allowed to be user set when in this mode.

7.2.33 AUTO2 - Automode™ bass management2 (0x20)
Setting the AMBMME bit enables the proper mixing to take place for various preset bass
management configurations. Setting the AMBMXE bit enables the proper crossover filtering
in biquad #7 to take place. The crossover for bass management is always 2nd order
(24 dB/oct) and the crossover frequency is determined by register bits PREEQ.XO[2:0].
All configurations of Dolby® bass management can be performed in the IC. These different
configurations are selected as they would be by the end-user.
The Automode bass management settings utilize channels 1-6 on the Mix #1 engine,
Channels 1-6 biquad #6, and channels 1-2 on the mix #2 engine in configuration #2. These
functions cannot be user programmed while the bass management Automode is active.
Not all settings are valid as some configurations are unlikely and do not have to be
supported by Dolby® specification.
Automatic crossover settings are provided or custom crossovers can be implemented using
the available programmable biquads.

When AMBMXE = 1, biquad #7 on channels 1-6 are utilized for bass-management
crossover filter, this biquad is not user programmable in this mode. The XO settings
determine the crossover frequency used, the crossover is 2nd order for both high-pass and
low-pass with a -3 dB cross point. Higher order filters can be obtained be programming
coefficients in other biquads if desired.
It is recommended to use settings of 120-160 Hz when using small, single driver satellite
speakers as the frequency response of these speakers normally are limited to this region.

7.2.41 Biquad internal channel loop-through (0x28)
Each internal processing channel can receive two possible inputs at the input to the biquad
block. The input can come either from the output of that channel’s MIX#1 engine or from the
output of the bass/treble (Biquad#10) of the previous channel. In this scenario, channel 1
receives channel 8. This enables the use of more than 10 biquads on any given channel at
the loss of the number of separate internal processing channels.
7.2.42 Mix internal channel loop-through (0x29)
Each internal processing channel can receive two possible sets of inputs at the inputs to the
Mix#1 block. The inputs can come from the outputs of the interpolation block as normally
occurs (CnMXLP = 0) or they can come from the outputs of the Mix#2 block. This enables
the use of additional filtering after the second mix block at the expense of losing this
processing capability on the channel.

7.2.52 Bit description
The STA309A 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 anti-clipping 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 B, bit 7 address 0x02. Each
channel can be mapped to either limiter or not mapped, meaning that channel will clip when
0 dBFS is exceeded. Each limiter will look at the present value of each channel that is
mapped to it, select the maximum absolute value of all these channels, perform the limiting
algorithm on that value, and then if needed adjust the gain of the mapped channels in
unison.
The limiter attack thresholds are determined by the LnAT registers. It is recommended in
anti-clipping mode to set this to 0 dBFS, which corresponds to the maximum unclipped
output power of a DDX amplifier. Since gain can be added digitally within the STA309A it is
possible to exceed 0 dBFS or any other LnAT setting, when this occurs, the limiter, when
active, will automatically start 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. The gain reduction occurs on a peak-detect algorithm.
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 it's set value and therefore the release will only occur if the limiter has
already 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

Coefficients for EQ and bass management are handled internally in the STA309A via RAM.
Access to this RAM is available to the user via an I2C register interface.
A collection of I2C registers are dedicated to this function. One contains a coefficient base
address, five sets of three store the values of the 24-bit coefficients to be written or that were
read, and one contains bits used to control the write of the coefficient(s) to RAM. The
following are instructions for reading and writing coefficients.

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 10-bit address would specify the address of the biquad b1
coefficient (for example, decimals 0, 5, 10, 15, …, 100, … 395), and the STA309A will
generate the RAM addresses as offsets from this base value to write the complete set of
coefficient data.

8.1 Postscale
The STA309A provides one additional multiplication after the last interpolation stage and
before the distortion compensation on each channel. This is a 24-bit signed fractional
multiply.
The scale factor for this multiply is loaded into RAM using the same I2C registers as the
biquad coefficients and the bass-management.
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 by setting the
postscale link bit.

8.4 PSCorrect registers
ADC is used to input ripple data to SDI78. The left channel (7) is used internally. No audio
data can therefore be used on these channels. Though all channel mapping and mixing
from other inputs to channels 7 and 8 internally are still valid.
8.4.1 PSC1-2: ripple correction value (RCV) (0x51, 0x52)
Equivalent to negative maximum ripple peak as a percentage of Vcc (MPR), scaled by the
inverse of maximum ripple p-p as percentage of full-scale analog input to ADC.
Represented as a 1.11 signed fractional number.
8.4.2 PSC3: correction normalization value (CNV) (0x53)
Equivalent to 1 / (1+MPR) expressed as a 0.12 unsigned fractional number.
