WM8988
Stereo CODEC for Portable Audio Applications
DESCRIPTION
The WM8988 is a low power, high quality stereo CODEC
designed for portable digital audio applications.
The device integrates complete interfaces to 2 stereo
headphone or line out ports. External component
requirements are drastically reduced as no separate
headphone amplifiers are required. Advanced on-chip digital
signal processing performs graphic equaliser, 3-D sound
enhancement and automatic level control for the
microphone or line input.
The WM8988 can operate as a master or a slave, with
various master clock frequencies including 12 or 24MHz for
USB devices, or standard 256fs rates like 12.288MHz and
24.576MHz. Different audio sample rates such as 96kHz,
48kHz, 44.1kHz are generated directly from the master
clock without the need for an external PLL.
The WM8988 operates at supply voltages down to 1.8V,
although the digital core can operate at voltages down to
1.42V to save power, and the maximum for all supplies is
3.6 Volts. Different sections of the chip can also be powered
down under software control.
The WM8988 is supplied in a very small and thin 4x4mm
COL package, ideal for use in hand-held and portable
systems.
