STAC9708/11
Multi-Channel AC'97 Codec
With Multi-Codec Option
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
SigmaTel’s
STAC9708/11
is a general purpose 18-bit, full duplex, audio codec that conforms to the analog
component specification of AC'97 (Audio Codec 97 Component Specification Rev. 2.1). The
STAC9708/11
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 two
additional high quality DACs, with independent volume control, for multi-channel applications. With
SigmaTel’s
3D stereo enhancement (SS3D), independently selectable on both LINE OUT and DAC OUT, the
multi-channel mode immerses the user in a richer and livelier listening experience. The
STAC9708/11
may be
used as a secondary codec, with the
STAC9704/07
as the primary, in a multiple codec configuration conforming
to the AC'97 Rev. 2.1 specification. This configuration can provide true six-channel, AC-3 playback required for
DVD applications. The
STAC9708/11
communicates via the five-wire AC-Link to any digital component of
AC'97 providing flexibility in the audio system design. Packaged in an AC'97 compliant 48-pin TQFP, the
STAC9708/11
can be placed on the motherboard, daughter boards, add-on cards or PCMCIA cards.
