Production Data
REFERENCES
The ADC reference voltages are derived from an internal bandgap reference, and buffered to pins
VRT and VRB, where they must be decoupled to ground. Pin VRX is driven by a similar buffer, and
also requires decoupling. The output buffer from the RLCDAC also requires decoupling at pin
VRLC/VBIAS.
The ADC references can be switched from the default values (VRT=2.05V, VRB=1.05V, ADC input
range=2V) to give a smaller ADC reference range (VRT=1.85V, VRB=1.25V, ADC input range=1.2V)
under control of the LOWREFS register bit. Setting LOWREFS=1 allows smaller input signals to be
accommodated.
Note:
When LOWREFS = 1 the output of the RLCDAC will scale if RLCDACRNG = 1. The max output from
RLCDAC will change from 2.05 to 1.85V and the step size will proportionally reduce.
POWER MANAGEMENT
Power management for the device is performed via the Control Interface. By default the device is fully
enabled. The EN bit allows the device to be fully powered down when set low. Individual blocks can
be powered down using the bits in Setup Register 5. When in MONO or TWOCHAN mode the
unused input channels are automatically disabled to reduce power consumption.
Note:
1. It is recommended that if the clocks are removed from the device, the device should be
powered down using the EN bit in Setup Reg 1.
2. It is recommended that when the device is powered up after powered down using the EN bit
Setup Reg 1, PGA gain setting should be set to default. Alternatively if PGA gain is not
default, the following sequence can be applied after powered up using EN bit.
i. Setup Reg 6, bit[0] (RESET_NOREG) =1
ii. Setup Reg 6, bit[0] (RESET_NOREG) = 0
3. Note2 is also recommended when MONO or TWOCHAN is changed.
CONTROL INTERFACE
The internal control registers are programmable via the serial digital control interface. The register
contents can be read back via the serial interface on pin OP[11]/SDO.
It is recommended that a software reset is carried out after the power-up sequence, before writing to
any other register. This ensures that all registers are set to their default values (as shown in Table
15).
DEVICE IDENTIFICATION
Up to 3 WM8224 devices can share a common set of serial interface pins. Each device on the
common interface bus must be given a different device ID. The device ID is set by the input pin
DSLCT as shown in Table 11.

REGISTER WRITE
Figure 32 shows sequence of operations for performing a register write. Three pins, SCK, SDI and
SEN are used for the control interface. An eight-bit address (id1, id0, a5, 0, a3, a2, a1, a0) is clocked
in through SDI, MSB first, followed by an eight-bit data word (b7, b6, b5, b4, b3, b2, b1, b0), also MSB
first. The device ID bits indicate which device is being written to on a shared control bus. A register
write with device ID set to 11 writes data to all devices on the common bus. Setting address bit a4 to
0 indicates that the operation is a register write. Each bit is latched on the rising edge of SCK. When
the data has been shifted into the device, a rising edge on the SEN pin transfers the data to the
appropriate internal register.
