The STA015 is a fully integrated high flexibility
MPEG Layer III Audio Decoder, capable of decod-
ing Layer III compressed elementary streams, as
specified in MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 ISO standards.
The device decodes also elementary streams
compressed by using low sampling rates, as spec-
ified by MPEG 2.5. STA015 receives the input
data through a Serial input Interface. The decoded
signal is a stereo, mono, or dual channel digital
output that can be sent directly to a D/A converter,
by the PCM Output Interface.
This interface is software programmable to adapt
the STA015 digital output to the most common
DACs architectures used on the market. The func-
tional STA015 chip partitioning is described in
Fig.1a and Fig.1b.

1.0 OVERVIEW
1.1 MP3 decoder engine
The MP3 decoder engine is able to decode any Layer III compliant bitstream: MPEG1, MPEG2 and
MPEG2.5 streams are supported. Besides audio data decoding the MP3 engine also performs ANCIL-
LARY data extraction: these data can be retrieved via I
2
C bus by the application microcontroller in order
to implement specific functions.
Decoded audio data goes through a software volume control and a two-band equalizer blocks before feed-
ing the output I2S interface. This results in no need for an external audio processor.
MP3 bitstream is sent to the decoder using a simple serial input interface (see pins SDI, SCKR, BIT_EN
and DATA_REQ), supporting input rate up to 20 Mbit/s. Received data are stored in a 256 bytes long input
buffer which provides a feedback line (see DATA_REQ pin) to the bitstream source (tipically an MCU).
1.2 ADPCM encoder/decoder engine
This device also embeds a multistandard ADPCM encoder/decoder supporting different sample rates
(from 8 KHz up to 32 KHz) and different sample sizes (from 8 bit to 32 bits).
During encoding process two different interfaces can be used to feed data: the serial input interface (same
interface used also to feed MP3 bitstream) or the ADC input interface, which provides a seamless con-
nection with an external A/D converter. The currently used interface is selected via I
2
C bus.
Also to retrieve encoded data two different interfaces are available: the I
2
C bus or the faster GPSO output
interface. GPSO interface is able to output data with a bitrate up to 5 Mbit/s and its control pins
(GPSO_SCKR, GPSO_DATA and GPSO_REQ) can be configured in order to easily fit the target applica-
tion.
1.3 BYPASS functional mode
In order to allow using the device to post-process auxiliary audio sources a special BYPASS mode is avail-
able. When the device is configured in BYPASS mode the embedded DSP will process digital audio data
coming through the ADC input interface and will output the resulting data to the external DAC.
Available processings include volume and a tone ontrols.
