STA306

30/33

single 28-bit signed multiply, with 800000h = -1 and 7FFFFFh = 0.9999998808. These values are labeled

CxPS, with x representing the channel. The biquads use this equation:

Y[n] = 2(b0/2)X[n] + 2(b1/2)X[n-1] + b2X[n-2] - 2(a1/2)Y[n-1] - a2Y[n-2]

= b0X[n] + b1X[n-1] + b2X[n-2] - a1Y[n-1] - a2Y[n-2]

Y[n] represents the output and X[n] represents the input. Coefficients are defined in the following manner:

CxHx0 = b2

CxHx1 = b0/2

CxHx2 = -a2

CxHx3 = -a1/2

CxHx4 = b1/2

The first x represents the channel and the second the biquad number. For example C3H41 is the b0/2 coeffi-

cient in the fourth series biquad in channel 3. The biquad link bit allows all channels to use the coefficients of

channel 1.

Bass Management

Channel 6 provides the ability to scale and mix all channels before the biquad block. This allows for information

from any channel to be redirected to this channel and then filtered appropriately for a subwoofer application.

When the BME bit is set (bit D5 of Configuration Register A, at address 00h) the input to the biquad section is

routed from the scale and mix block instead of the normal channel 6 1st stage interpolation output.

Eight scaling coefficients are provided to perform this function. They are labeled CxBMS with x representing the

channel that is being scaled. Each input channel is multiplied by its corresponding scale factor and summed.

The output of the summation is the output of the scale and mix block.

Post-Scale

The STA306 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. All chan-

nels can use the channel 1 by setting the post-scale link bit.
