WM8952
2-WIRE SERIAL CONTROL MODE
Pre Production
The WM8952 supports software control via a 2-wire serial bus. Many devices can be controlled by
the same bus, and each device has a unique 7-bit device address (this is not the same as the 7-bit
address of each register in the WM8952).
The WM8952 operates as a slave device only. The controller indicates the start of data transfer with
a high to low transition on SDIN while SCLK remains high. This indicates that a device address and
data will follow. All devices on the 2-wire bus respond to the start condition and shift in the next eight
bits on SDIN (7-bit address + Read/Write bit, MSB first). If the device address received matches the
address of the WM8952, then the WM8952 responds by pulling SDIN low on the next clock pulse
(ACK). If the address is not recognised or the R/W bit is ‘1’ when operating in write only mode, the
WM8952 returns to the idle condition and wait for a new start condition and valid address.
During a write, once the WM8952 has acknowledged a correct address, the controller sends the first
byte of control data (B15 to B8, i.e. the WM8952 register address plus the first bit of register data).
The WM8952 then acknowledges the first data byte by pulling SDIN low for one clock pulse. The
controller then sends the second byte of control data (B7 to B0, i.e. the remaining 8 bits of register
data), and the WM8952 acknowledges again by pulling SDIN low.
Transfers are complete when there is a low to high transition on SDIN while SCLK is high. After a
complete sequence the WM8952 returns to the idle state and waits for another start condition. If a
start or stop condition is detected out of sequence at any point during data transfer (i.e. SDIN
changes while SCLK is high), the device jumps to the idle condition.

In 2-wire mode the WM8952 has a fixed device address, 0011010.
RESETTING THE CHIP
The WM8952 can be reset by performing a write of any value to the software reset register (address
0 hex). This will cause all register values to be reset to their default values. In addition to this there
is a Power-On Reset (POR) circuit which ensures that the registers are set to default when the
device is powered up.
POWER SUPPLIES
The WM8952 requires the following power supplies:
AVDD and AGND: Analogue supply, powers all analogue functions. AVDD can range from 2.5V to
3.6V and has the most significant impact on overall power consumption. A larger AVDD slightly
improves audio quality.
DVDD: Digital core supply, powers all digital functions except the audio and control interfaces.
DVDD can range from 1.71V to 3.6V, and has no effect on audio quality. The return path for DVDD
is DGND.
It is possible to use the same supply voltage for these. However, digital and analogue supplies
should be routed and decoupled separately on the PCB to keep digital switching noise out of the
analogue signal paths.
