The STA382BWS includes two independent limiter blocks (not to be mistaken with the

STCompressorTM, for further details about this feature please refer to Section 4.2). The

purpose of the limiters is to automatically reduce the dynamic range of a recording to

prevent the outputs from clipping in anticlipping mode or to actively reduce the dynamic

range for a better listening environment such as a nighttime listening mode which is often

needed for DVDs. The two modes are selected via the DRC bit in Configuration register E

(addr 0x04) on page 114. Each channel can be mapped to either limiter or not mapped,

meaning that the channel will clip when 0 dBfs is exceeded. Each limiter looks at the present

value of each channel that is mapped to it, selects the maximum absolute value of all these

channels, performs the limiting algorithm on that value, and then, if needed, adjusts the gain

of the mapped channels in unison.

The limiter attack thresholds are determined by the LxAT registers if the EATHx[7] bits are

set to 0, else the thresholds are determined by EATHx[6:0]. It is recommended in

anticlipping mode to set this to 0 dBfs, which corresponds to the maximum unclipped output

power of an FFX amplifier. Since gain can be added digitally within the STA382BWS, it is

possible to exceed 0 dBfs or any other LxAT setting. When this occurs, the limiter, when

active, automatically starts reducing the gain. The rate at which the gain is reduced when

the attack threshold is exceeded is dependent upon the attack rate register setting for that

limiter. Gain reduction occurs on a peak-detect algorithm. Setting the EATHx[7] bits to 1

selects the anticlipping mode.

The limiter release thresholds are determined by the LxRT registers if the ERTHx[7] bits are

set to 0, else the thresholds are determined by ERTHx[6:0]. Settings the ERTHx[7] bits to 1
