About this manual

The STA381BWS is a 2.1-channel high-efficiency digital audio system designed for wide-range supply voltages from 4.5 V to 25.5 V. It supports three output power stage configurations: 2.0 mode with L/R full bridges, 2.1 mode with L/R two half-bridges and a subwoofer full bridge, or 2.1 mode with L/R full bridges and a PWM output for an external subwoofer amplifier. The device offers driving load capabilities of 2x20 W into 8 ohms in ternary modulation mode.

Key features include FFX™ technology for a 100 dB dynamic range, a fixed output PWM frequency, and an embedded RMS meter for measuring real-time loudness. The chip includes extensive protection mechanisms such as manufacturing short-circuit protection, thermal protection, overcurrent protection, and undervoltage protection. It also features two independent DRCs configurable as dual-band anticlipper or independent limiters/compressors (STCompressor™) and up to 12 user-programmable biquads with noise-shaping technology.
