STA350B - 2.1-Channel Digital Audio Power Stage | STMicroelectronics
MPN: STA350B ✓ פעילSTA350B סקירה
A Sound Terminal is an integrated audio subsystem rather than a conventional standalone power amplifier. Its functional hierarchy is digital audio processor, then digital amplifier controller, then FFX class-D power-output stage. Integrating these blocks allows a system designer to reduce the number of external amplifiers while retaining digital volume control, bass management, and channel-routing functions. The STA350B supports a two-channel digital-audio configuration with additional low-frequency capability for 2.1 systems.
Key features include a 2.1-channel architecture, digital audio processing, an integrated digital amplifier controller, and the FFX high-efficiency output stage. The manufacturer datasheet presents its performance specifications at VCC = 24 V, f = 1 kHz, switching frequency fsw = 384 kHz, ambient temperature of 25 °C, and an 8 Ω load. These conditions are important when comparing amplifier output data because power, distortion, and efficiency can change with supply voltage, load impedance, and switching frequency.
The STA350B accepts digital audio through I2S and is configured through I2C, making it appropriate for systems whose volume, routing, or sound-field processing is handled by a host controller or digital audio source. The integrated approach shortens the signal path between digital processing and power amplification while reducing external component count compared with a processor-plus-discrete-amplifier architecture.
Typical applications include compact 2.1-channel speaker systems, soundbars, compact home-theater speakers, multimedia speaker platforms, and digital active-speaker products. The STA350B is particularly relevant where a small enclosure, efficient power conversion, and controlled digital audio behavior are more important than a conventional analog-input amplifier architecture.
For PCB design, treat the exposed pad as both the electrical ground reference and a principal thermal path. Follow the manufacturer land-pattern, power-routing, decoupling, and thermal-pad guidance in the datasheet rather than relying only on the generic PowerSSO-36 outline. Verify amplifier stability, thermal rise, and acoustic performance in the finished enclosure.
This page combines manufacturer identification, interface and package information, operating-condition references, application engineering guidance, and verified sourcing links. It also documents the absence of a confirmed pin-compatible substitute list rather than presenting unverified cross-brand parts as drop-in replacements.

יישומים טיפוסיים
STA350B מתאים עבור 6 יישוםs: Compact 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speaker, Digital Soundbar Speaker Module, Home-Theater Active Speaker, Digital Active Bookshelf Speaker, Industrial Audio Control Terminal, Portable Battery-Powered Speaker.
Compact 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speaker
The STA350B fits a compact multimedia speaker because it combines two-channel digital amplification and subwoofer support with I2S audio input in a single PowerSSO-36 device. Its integrated digital processing and FFX high-efficiency output stage can reduce the number of separate amplifier blocks in the enclosure. The design should still be validated at the intended load and supply, because the verified datasheet conditions specify 24 V, 384 kHz switching frequency, and an 8 Ω load. I2C control allows the source device to manage volume or configuration without a separate analog control path.
מומלץ
Digital Soundbar Speaker Module
The STA350B is applicable to a soundbar speaker module where a compact digital audio path is preferred over separate analog amplification. I2S accepts the decoded audio stream, while I2C permits the host processor to adjust configuration and operating states. The integrated 2.1-channel architecture supports a main-channel and subwoofer arrangement within a constrained enclosure. Thermal performance depends on copper area, the exposed-pad layout, sustained output power, and ambient temperature, so the final acoustic enclosure must be tested rather than relying on package data alone.
מומלץ
Home-Theater Active Speaker
An active home-theater speaker can use the STA350B to place digital volume and channel control close to the power stage. The I2S input avoids long analog interconnects between a source and the amplifier, which can help preserve signal integrity inside a multiway speaker. The 2.1-channel capability supports compact left, right, and subwoofer implementations. Designers must verify that the host supplies compatible I2S clocking and that the I2C control sequence satisfies the device requirements before schematic sign-off.
מומלץ
Digital Active Bookshelf Speaker
The STA350B suits a digital active bookshelf speaker built around a host controller or network audio receiver. Digital input and control reduce the need for analog preamplifier stages, while the integrated processing and amplifier-control blocks can shorten the design cycle. In a passive-looking enclosure, the device still needs a correctly designed power-supply path, output filtering, thermal spreading structure, and stable grounding. Because the retrieved data does not provide a complete electrical output-power table, the available power must be confirmed from the manufacturer datasheet for the selected load.
מומלץ
Industrial Audio Control Terminal
The STA350B can support an industrial audio terminal when the system needs digital volume control, deterministic configuration, and efficient amplification in a restricted enclosure. The I2C interface allows supervisory electronics to manage mute, configuration, or system behavior, while I2S carries the audio samples. The verified sources do not confirm AEC-Q100 qualification or an industrial temperature grade, so a regulated deployment must check those ratings explicitly. Remote or fanless designs should also evaluate acoustic limits and thermal rise under worst-case playback conditions.
מומלץ
Portable Battery-Powered Speaker
The STA350B may fit a portable speaker when its system architecture can supply the required power rail and manage heat near the battery. Its high-efficiency digital output architecture is relevant where amplifier efficiency affects usable playback time, although the supplied data does not quantify battery-current savings or efficiency at a specific output level. The 24 V reference condition also means it is not inherently a low-voltage battery part. Designers should compare total conversion loss, including power-supply efficiency, against a regulator-based low-voltage alternative.

הערות תכנון
The STA350B uses an exposed pad on the top side of the PowerSSO-36 package. Treat that pad as the primary thermal and electrical-ground path, and follow the manufacturer's land-pattern and via recommendations exactly. Estimated: because no verified thermal-resistance figure, output-power table, or ambient limit was supplied, junction temperature cannot be calculated responsibly. Validate the assembled amplifier at the intended 24 V condition and sustained output level in its final enclosure.
Separate the digital audio and control paths from the high-current switching outputs on the PCB. Keep I2S and I2C traces short, route them over a continuous ground reference, and place support components close to their associated pins. The verified data does not provide the manufacturer's complete reference layout or component values, so use the official datasheet and evaluation guidance for decoupling, output filters, and power-supply connections instead of copying generic values.
Do not treat STA350BW as a drop-in alternative for STA350B merely because both are Sound Terminal devices. The verified datasheet describes STA350B with the exposed pad or slug up and STA350BW with the exposed pad down, changing the assembly and thermal-layout implications. Also avoid comparing amplifier headline specifications without matching VCC = 24 V, fsw = 384 kHz, RL = 8 Ω, f = 1 kHz, and Tamb = 25 °C conditions.
מידע על תאימות
The supplied verified data does not explicitly state RoHS, REACH, AEC-Q100, lead-free, halogen-free, or conflict-minerals status. The STMicroelectronics product page identifies the STA350B as an active product, but lifecycle observation must not be treated as proof of a specific regulatory qualification.
