STAC9721/23
Stereo AC'97 Codec
With Multi-Codec Option
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
SigmaTel’s STAC9721/23 is a general-purpose 18-bit stereo, full duplex, audio codec that conforms to
the analog component specification of AC'97 (Audio Codec 97 Component Specification Rev. 2.1). The
STAC9721/23 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 SigmaTel’s 3D stereo enhancement (SS3D), and an extra true line-level out
for headphones or speaker amplifiers. The STAC9721/23 may be used as a secondary codec, with the
STAC9700/04/07/44/45 or a 4-channel STAC9708 as the primary, in multiple codec configurations
conforming to the AC'97 Rev. 2.1 specification. This configuration can provide up to six-channel output,
providing AC-3 playback for DVD applications. The STAC9721/23 communicates via the five-wire AC-
Link interface with any AC-Link capable controller or advanced core logic chip-set. Packaged in an
AC'97 compliant 48-pin TQFP, the STAC9721/23 can be placed on motherboards, daughter boards, add-
on cards or AMR/MDC cards.
