Product details
Overview
STA32613TR from STMicroelectronics is a 2.1-channel high-efficiency digital audio system IC integrating DDX® Class-D amplifier architecture, 24-bit DSP processing, and I²C-controlled audio signal path management. It delivers up to 160 W in mono mode or 2×80 W in stereo mode across a 10 V–36 V supply, with 100 dB SNR, 32–192 kHz sample rate support, and four user-programmable biquad EQ filters per channel - deployed in compact home theater receivers and active soundbars requiring integrated bass management and automode-driven loudness compensation.
For engineers reviewing the STA32613TR datasheet, STA32613TR pinout, STA32613TR application, or STA32613TR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context on its DDX® PWM output modes, automode preset configurations (EQ, crossover, AGC), dual limiter/compressor implementation, and PowerSO-36 EPU thermal performance - all critical for audio subsystem validation and BOM selection in cost-sensitive consumer audio designs.
Technical Context
The STA32613TR implements a fully digital 2.1-channel audio processor with 96 kHz internal processing at 24–28-bit precision, supporting I²S input mapping, post-EQ mixing, and programmable bass management. Its DDX® ternary/binary PWM engine enables variable switching frequencies and compensating pulse sizing to reduce EMI and improve THD at full power.
Control is handled via I²C interface with 32-bit register addressing, enabling real-time configuration of volume (±48 dB to −80 dB in 0.5-dB steps), tone control, automodes (32 EQ curves, 15 crossover settings), and fault recovery (thermal warning, invalid input detect, zero-cross mute). Dual independent limiters operate with configurable attack/release thresholds and rates per channel.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
STA32613TR uses the PowerSO-36 package with exposed pad up (EPU), optimized for thermal dissipation in high-power audio applications. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB thermal plane for safe operation at rated output power.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCP | Power supply for PWM output stage | Accepts 10 V–36 V; connects to external bulk capacitor and heatsinked PCB copper |
| VCCA | Analog supply for DSP core | Requires clean 3.3 V ±5 %; decoupled with 100 nF ceramic near pin |
| SDA / SCL | I²C serial control interface | Supports standard/fast-mode I²C (up to 400 kHz); pull-up required externally |
| LRCLK / BCLK / DIN | I²S digital audio input interface | 2-channel left/right frame sync; bit clock up to 12.288 MHz for 192 kHz/24-bit |
| OUT1P/OUT1N, OUT2P/OUT2N, OUT3P/OUT3N | Dual differential PWM outputs (ch1/ch2) + single-ended/subwoofer PWM (ch3) | Direct connection to external LC filter; ch3 supports mono 160 W mode |
| FAULT / TWARN | Open-drain status outputs | Indicate thermal warning (TWARN) or hard fault (FAULT); used for system-level protection sequencing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automode Presets | 32 EQ curves, 15 crossover points, TV AGC, nighttime listening, and anti-clipping modes - reduce firmware development effort for OEM audio tuning |
| Variable Max Power Correction | Adjusts PWM duty cycle dynamically to lower full-power THD without sacrificing peak output - critical for THD-sensitive speaker systems |
| AM Noise Reduction | Switches PWM carrier frequency away from AM radio band (530–1710 kHz) - eliminates audible interference in car audio and portable systems |
| Post-EQ Mix & Bass Management | Configurable 2.1 default mix matrix with user-defined scaling - enables seamless integration of passive radiators or ported enclosures |
| Invalid Input Detect Muting | Auto-mutes on missing I²S clock or data - prevents pop/click during source switching or Bluetooth reconnection |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2.1-channel digital audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5756M | TI 2.1-channel Class-D with 96 kHz internal processing, but no DDX® ternary PWM; lower max output (2×50 W + 1×100 W) | Lacks automode presets and AM noise reduction; requires external EEPROM for EQ storage | Preferred where TI ecosystem integration and pin-compatible upgrade path from TAS5754M are priorities |
| MAX98927 | Maxim 2.1-channel Class-D with integrated boost converter; fixed 48 kHz internal sample rate; no user-programmable biquads | Designed for battery-powered devices; lacks 192 kHz support and bass management flexibility | Selected when single-supply operation (3.0–5.5 V) and ultra-low quiescent current are mandatory |
Compared with TAS5756M and MAX98927, the STA32613TR uniquely combines DDX® ternary PWM, 192 kHz capability, and 32 automode EQ presets - making it optimal for AC-powered consumer audio where EMI control, loudness consistency, and rapid tuning deployment are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for the PowerSO-36 EPU exposed pad?
The exposed pad of the STA32613TR must be soldered to ≥400 mm² of 2-oz copper on the top layer, thermally connected via ≥6 vias (0.3 mm diameter) to an internal ground plane. This configuration maintains junction temperature below 125 °C at 85 °C ambient with 160 W output in mono mode, per ST's AN4423 thermal guidelines.
Does STA32613TR support TDM or PDM input formats?
No. The STA32613TR accepts only standard I²S (left-justified and right-justified) and PCM formats via its 2-channel serial audio interface. It does not support TDM (time-division multiplexed) or PDM (pulse-density modulated) inputs - those require external conversion or alternate ICs like the STA350BW.
How many unique EQ coefficient sets can be stored simultaneously in RAM?
The STA32613TR provides 128 words of user-defined coefficient RAM, sufficient to store four complete 5-coefficient biquad filters per channel (3 channels × 4 filters × 5 coefficients = 60 words), leaving space for mix matrix and prescale/postscale values - confirmed in Section 8.6 of DocID11531 Rev 9.
Is the "Miami mode" automode enabled by default after power-on reset?
No. Miami mode - which activates a specific combination of bass boost, treble cut, and loudness compensation optimized for small-room listening - is disabled by default. It must be explicitly enabled via Automode register 0x0C bit AMPS[1:0] = 0b10, as defined in Table 51 of the datasheet.
