WM8940
Mono CODEC with Speaker Driver
DESCRIPTION
The WM8940 is a low power, high quality mono CODEC
designed for portable applications such as digital still cameras
or camcorders.
The device integrates support for a differential or single ended
mic, and includes drivers for speakers or headphone, and
mono line output. External component requirements are
reduced as no separate microphone or headphone amplifiers
are required.
Advanced Sigma Delta Converters are used along with digital
decimation and interpolation filters to give high quality audio at
sample rates from 8 to 48ks/s. A selectable high pass filter and
four fully-programmable notch filters are available in the ADC
path. An advanced mixed signal ALC function with noise gate
is provided, while readback of PGA gain during ALC operation
is supported. The digital audio interface supports A-law and -
law companding.
An on-chip PLL is provided to generate the required Master
Clock from an external reference clock. The PLL clock can
also be output if required elsewhere in the system.
The WM8940 operates at supply voltages from 2.5 to 3.6V,
although the digital supplies can operate at voltages down to
1.71V to save power. Different sections of the chip can also be
powered down under software control using the selectable two
or three wire control interface.
WM8940 is supplied in a very small 4x4mm QFN package,
offering high levels of functionality in minimum board area, with
high thermal performance.
