Sound Terminal™


A breakthrough in digital audio systems

The Sound Terminal™ family brings high audio quality, lower power dissipation, and reduced manufacturing costs to popular and fast-growing applications such as flat-panel TV sets, home systems, docking stations, wireless products and personal audio systems. The high level of integration of the single-package solutions, combined with their fully digital stream from sound source to loudspeaker, enables the design of cost-effective, high-efficiency, small form-factor sound systems. The STA558BW represents the latest Sound Terminal evolution: an audio hub for the new audio applications.

Benefits

  • Analog and digital interfaces, removing the need of external mux or analog-to-digital converter
  • Dynamic range compressor for sound enhancement and speaker protection
  • Fully integrated graphical development environment - Audio Processor Workbench - for easy device configuration
