DEVICE DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION

The WM8959 is a low power, high quality audio DAC designed to interface with a wide range of

processors and analogue components. A high level of mixed-signal integration in a very small 3.226

x 3.44mm footprint makes it ideal for portable applications such as mobile phones.

Eight highly flexible analogue inputs allow interfacing to up to four microphone inputs plus multiple

stereo or mono line inputs (single-ended or differential). Connections to an external voice CODEC,

FM radio, melody IC, line input, handset MIC and headset MIC are all fully supported. Signal routing

to the output mixers and within the DAC has been designed for maximum flexibility to support a wide

variety of usage modes.

Ten analogue output drivers are integrated, including a high power, high quality speaker driver,

capable of providing 1W in class D mode or in class AB mode into 8

Ω BTL. Four headphone drivers

are provided, supporting ear speakers and stereo headsets. Fully differential headphone drive is

supported for excellent crosstalk performance and removing the need for large and expensive

headphone capacitors. Four line outputs are available for Tx voice output to a voice CODEC,

interfacing to an additional speaker driver and single-ended or fully differential line output. All outputs

have integrated pop and click suppression. The speaker supply has been designed with low leakage

and high PSRR, to support direct connection to a Lithium battery. In addition to the speaker PGA, six

AC and DC gain settings allow output signal level to be maximised for many commonly-used

SPKVDD/AVDD combinations.

Internal signal routing and amplifier configurations have been optimised to provide the lowest

possible power consumption for a number of common usage scenarios such as voice calls and

music playback.

The stereo DACs are of hi-fi quality using a 24-bit, low-order oversampling architecture to deliver

optimum performance. An integrated ultra-low power PLL provides flexible clocking capabilities. DAC

soft mute and un-mute is available for pop-free music playback.

The WM8959 has a highly flexible digital audio interface, supporting a number of protocols, including

I2S, DSP, MSB-First left/right justified. The interface can operate in master or slave modes. PCM

operation is supported in the DSP mode. A-law and

µ-law companding are also supported. Time

division multiplexing (TDM) is available to allow multiple devices to stream data simultaneously on

the same bus, saving space and power. Alternative DAC interface pins are provided to allow

connection to an additional processor.

The SYSCLK (system clock) provides clocking for the DACs, DSP, Class D outputs and the digital

audio interface. SYSCLK can be derived directly from the MCLK pin or via the integrated PLL,

providing flexibility to support a wide range of clocking schemes. All MCLK frequencies typically used

in portable systems are supported for sample rates between 8kHz and 48kHz. A flexible switching

clock for the class D speaker drivers (synchronous with the audio DSP clocks for best performance)

is also derived from SYSCLK.

To allow full software control over all its features, the WM8959 uses a standard 2-wire or 3/4-wire

control interface with readback of key registers supported. It is fully compatible and an ideal partner

for a wide range of industry standard microprocessors, controllers and DSPs. Unused circuitry can

be disabled via software to save power, while low leakage currents extend standby and off time in

portable battery-powered applications. The device address can be selected using the CSB/ADDR

pin.

Versatile GPIO functionality is provided, with support for up to four button/accessory detect inputs

with interrupt and status readback and flexible de-bouncing options, clock output, and logic '1' / logic

'0' for control of additional external circuitry.
