STA326
Volume loudness, preset volume curves, preset EQ settings, etc. New advanced AM radio inerference re-
duction modes.
The serial audio data input interface accepts all possible formats, including the popular I2S format.
Three channels of DDX® processing are provided. This high quality conversion from PCM audio to DDX's
patented tri-state PWM switching waveform provides over 100dB SNR and dynamic range.

2.1 EQ Processing
Two channels of input data (re-sampled if necessary) at 96 kHz are provided to the EQ processing block.
In this block, upto 4 user-defined Biquads can be appplied to each of the two channels.
Pre-scaling, dc-blocking high-pass, de-emphasis, bass, and tone control filters can also be applied based
on various configuration parameter settings.
The entire EQ block can be bypassed for all channels simulatneously by setting the DSPB bit to '1'. And
the CxEQBP bits can be used to bypass the EQ functionality on a per channel basis. Figure below shows
the internal signal flow through the EQ block.
2.2 Mix Processing
The Post-EQ Mix block takes the two channel outputs from the EQ block and outputs three channels of
data. By default, Channels 1 and 2 outputs are essentially pass-through of Channels 1 and 2 inputs com-
ing from the EQ block. An additional channel is created as a result of a sum & mix of the two input chan-
nels. See Figure 30. By default, this 3rd channel of data is an equal mix of channel 1 and 2 data. Normally
this third channel will be used as the subwoofer in the 2.1 configuration. An additional filtering stage is
found after the mix block in order to implement crossover filtering. The crossover filters can be automati-
cally configured from the AutoMode Crossover (XO) bits or these filters can be manually programmed for
any type and frequency crossover.
