DESCRIPTION
The STA003T is a fully integrated high flexibility MPEG Layer III Audio Decoder, capable of decoding Layer III compressed elementary streams, as specified in MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 ISO standards. The device decodes also elementary streams compressed by using low sampling rates, as specified by MPEG 2.5.
