STAC9721/23
Stereo AC'97 Codec
With Multi-Codec Option
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
SigmaTel’s
STAC9721/23
is a general-purpose 18-bit stereo, full duplex, audio codec that conforms to
the analog component specification of AC'97 (Audio Codec 97 Component Specification Rev. 2.1). The
STAC9721/23
incorporates
SigmaTel’s
proprietary Sigma-Delta technology to achieve a DAC SNR in
excess of 95dB. The DACs, ADCs, and mixer are integrated with analog I/Os, which include four analog
line-level stereo inputs, two analog line-level mono inputs, two stereo outputs, and one mono output
channel. Also included are
SigmaTel’s
3D stereo enhancement (SS3D), and an extra true line-level out
for headphones or speaker amplifiers. The
STAC9721/23
may be used as a secondary codec, with the
STAC9700/04/07/44/45
or a 4-channel
STAC9708
as the primary, in multiple codec configurations
conforming to the AC'97 Rev. 2.1 specification. This configuration can provide up to six-channel output,
providing AC-3 playback for DVD applications. The
STAC9721/23
communicates via the five-wire AC-
Link interface with any AC-Link capable controller or advanced core logic chip-set. Packaged in an
AC'97 compliant 48-pin TQFP, the
STAC9721/23
can be placed on motherboards, daughter boards, add-
on cards or AMR/MDC cards.

. STAC9721/23 Block Diagram
The
STAC9721/23
block diagram is illustrated above. It performs fixed 48K sample rate D-A & A-D
conversion, mixing, and analog processing. The digital interface communicates with the AC'97 controller
via the five wire AC-Link and contains the 64 word by 16-bit registers. Two, fixed 48Ks/s DAC’s
support two stereo PCM-out channels. The digital mix of all software sources, including the internal
synthesizer and any other digital sources, is performed in the digital controller. The Mixer block mixes
the PCM_OUT with any analog sources, then outputs to LINE_OUT and LNLVL_OUT. The
MONO_OUT delivers either mic only or a mono mix of sources from the mixer. The two fixed 48Ks/s
ADC’s take any mix of mono or stereo sources and convert it to a stereo PCM-in signal. All ADC's and
DAC's operate at 18-bit resolution.
The
STAC9721/23
is designed primarily to support stereo, 2-speaker audio. However, true AC-3
playback can be achieved for 6-speaker applications by taking advantage of the multi-codec option in the
STAC9721/23.
Using this option with a STAC9704/07/21/23 or the 4-channel STAC9708 as the primary
codec, and the STAC9721/23 as the secondary codec, 6-channel output can be achieved in an AC'97
architecture. Also, the
STAC9721/23
provides for a stereo enhancement feature,
SigmaTel Surround 3D
or SS3D. SS3D
provides the listener with several options to expand the soundstage beyond the normal 2-
speaker arrangement.
Together, with the logic component (controller or advanced core logic chip-set) of AC'97, the
STAC9721/23
can be SoundBlaster
and Windows Sound System
compatible. SoundBlaster
