STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in the application note AN4841, which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and thermal management to ensure optimal performance and thermal dissipation.
The STA8058 can be configured for different audio formats using the I2C interface. The device has several registers that control the audio format, sampling rate, and bit depth. Refer to the datasheet and the application note AN4842 for more information on configuring the device for specific audio formats.
The maximum power consumption of the STA8058 depends on the operating mode and the clock frequency. According to the datasheet, the maximum power consumption is around 250mW in the highest performance mode. However, this can be reduced by optimizing the clock frequency and using power-saving features.
The STA8058 requires an external low-pass filter to remove high-frequency noise and aliasing. A simple RC filter can be used, with a cutoff frequency around 100kHz. The application note AN4842 provides more information on implementing a low-pass filter for the STA8058.
Yes, the STA8058 can be used with an external clock source. The device has a clock input pin that can be connected to an external clock source. However, the clock frequency must be within the specified range (12.288MHz to 24.576MHz) and meet the jitter requirements specified in the datasheet.
