WM9712L
AC’97 Audio and Touchpanel CODEC
DESCRIPTION
The WM9712L is a highly integrated input / output device
designed for mobile computing and communications. The
device can connect directly to a 4-wire or 5-wire touchpanel,
mono or stereo microphones, stereo headphones and a
mono speaker, reducing total component count in the
system. Additionally, phone input and output pins are
provided for seamless integration with wireless
communication devices.
The WM9712L also offers up to four auxiliary ADC inputs
for analogue measurements such as temperature or light,
and five GPIO pins for interfacing to buttons or other digital
devices. To monitor the battery voltage in portable systems,
the WM9712L has two uncommitted comparator inputs.
All device functions are accessed and controlled through a
single AC-Link interface compliant with the AC’97 standard.
Additionally, the WM9712L can generate interrupts to
indicate pen down, pen up, availability of touchpanel data,
low battery, dead battery, and GPIO conditions.
The WM9712L operates at supply voltages from 1.8 to 3.6
Volts. Each section of the chip can be powered down under
software control to save power. The device is available in a
small leadless 7x7mm QFN package, ideal for use in hand-
held portable systems.
