STA013T$

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Overview

The STA013T$ is a single-chip MPEG Layer III audio decoder manufactured by STMicroelectronics, housed in a TQFP44 package. It supports ISO/IEC 11172-3 (MPEG-1) and ISO/IEC 13818-3.2 (MPEG-2) standards, including 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. Supported sampling frequencies include 48, 44.1, 32, 24, 22.05, 16, 12, 11.025, and 8 kHz. It features digital volume control, bass/treble adjustment, an I2C interface for ancillary data, and serial PCM output. Power consumption is 85 mW at 2.4V.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix character replacing the dollar sign in the model number to confirm the exact tape-and-reel or tube packaging option. Confirm that the component meets the required operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for your intended environment. Ensure the power supply voltage aligns with the specified 2.4V to 3.6V DC operating conditions.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring a dedicated hardware solution for compressed MP3 audio streams. It is suitable for applications needing low power consumption and direct serial input/output interfaces. Consider the TQFP44 package dimensions if board space allows for through-hole or surface-mount integration without BGA constraints.
