Description
The STA529 is a digital stereo class-D audio amplifier. It includes an audio DSP, an ST proprietary high-efficiency class-D driver and CMOS power output stage. It is intended for high-efficiency digital-to-power-audio conversion for portable applications. The STA529 also provides output capabilities for FFX™. In conjunction with a power device, the STA529 provides high-quality digital amplification.
