WM8741
24-bit 192kHz DAC with Advanced Digital Filtering
DESCRIPTION
The WM8741 is a very high performance stereo DAC
designed for audio applications such as professional
recording systems, A/V receivers and high specification CD,
DVD and home theatre systems. The device supports PCM
data input word lengths from 16 to 32-bits and sampling
rates up to 192kHz. The WM8741 also supports DSD bit-
stream data format, in both direct DSD and PCM-converted
DSD modes.
The WM8741 includes fine resolution volume and soft mute
control, digital de-emphasis and a range of advanced digital
filter responses, followed by a digital interpolation filter,
multi-bit sigma delta modulator and stereo DAC. Wolfson’s
patented architecture optimises the linearity of the DAC and
provides maximum insensitivity to clock jitter.
The digital filters include several selectable roll-off and
performance characteristics. The user can select between
standard sharp or slow roll-off responses. In addition, the
WM8741 includes a selection of advanced digital filter
characteristics including non-half band filters and minimum
phase filters. This flexibility provides a range of benefits,
such as significantly reduced pre-ringing and minimal group
delay. The internal digital filters can also be by-passed and
the WM8741 used with an external digital filter.
The WM8741 supports two connection schemes for audio
DAC control. The 2/3 wire serial control interface provides
access to all features. A range of features can also be
accessed by hardware control interface.
The WM8741 is available in a convenient 28-SSOP
package, and is pin compatible with the WM8740.
