DESCRIPTION
The STA003T is a fully integrated high flexibility
MPEG Layer III Audio Decoder, capable of de-
coding Layer III compressed elementary streams,
as specified in MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 ISO stand-
ards. The device decodes also elementary streams
compressed by using low sampling rates, as speci-
fied by MPEG 2.5.
STA003T receives the input data through a Serial
Input Interface. The decoded signal is a stereo,
mono, or dual channel digital output that can be
sent directly to a D/A converter, by the PCM Out-
put Interface. This interface is software program-
mable to adapt the STA003T digital output to the
most common DACs architectures used on the
market.
The functional STA003T chip partitioning is de-
scribed in Fig.1.

CMOS compatibility
The XTI pad low and high levels are CMOS compatible; XTI pad noise margin is better than typical
CMOS pads.
TTL compatibility
The XTI pad low level is compatible with TTL while the high level is not compatible (for example if V
DD
=
3V TTL min high level = 2.0V while XTI min high level = 2.2V)
