24-bit, 192kHz Stereo CODEC
WM8591
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The WM8591 is a high performance, stereo audio CODEC with
single-ended inputs and differential outputs. It is ideal for
surround sound processing applications for home hi-fi, DVD-
RW and other audio visual equipment.
The stereo 24-bit multi-bit sigma delta ADC has programmable
gain with limiting control. Digital audio output word lengths from
16-32 bits and sampling rates from 32kHz to 96kHz are
supported.
A stereo multi-bit sigma delta DAC is used with digital audio
input word lengths from 16-32 bits and sampling rates from
32kHz to 192kHz.
The WM8591 supports fully independent sample rates for the
ADC and DAC. The audio data interface supports I2S, left
justified, right justified and DSP formats.
The device is controlled in software via a 2-wire serial interface
which provides access to all features including volume controls,
mutes, and de-emphasis facilities. The device is available in a
28-lead SSOP package.
