STA013B$13TR

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Overview

The STA013B$13TR is an MPEG Layer III audio decoder manufactured by STMicroelectronics, packaged in a 64-pin LFBGA (8x8 mm) format. It supports ISO/IEC 11172-3 (MPEG 1 Audio), ISO/IEC 13818-3.2 (MPEG 2 Audio), and the MPEG 2.5 extension for lower sampling frequencies. The device decodes stereo, dual channel, and mono bitstreams with data rates from 8 Kbit/s to 320 Kbit/s. Operating on a low power 3.3V CMOS technology, it consumes approximately 85 mW at 2.4V. Key features include digital volume control, bass and treble adjustment, I2C ancillary data extraction, and a serial PCM output interface.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required input clock frequency, as configurations may vary based on the selected crystal oscillator or external source.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a fully integrated hardware MPEG Layer III decoder. Consider the LFBGA64 package constraints and verify that the host system can support the necessary I2C control bus and serial data interfaces for proper configuration and operation.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the STA013 family, which includes variants such as the SO28 and TQFP44 packages. The B$ designation specifically indicates the LFBGA 8x8 package form factor. It is designed as a single-chip solution for consumer electronics requiring efficient MPEG audio decoding capabilities.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the STA013T$ (TQFP44) and STA013$ (SO28). Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution, as the electrical characteristics remain consistent across the family but physical integration differs.
