WM8976

Preliminary Technical Data

PTD Rev 2.0 February 2005

AUTOMUTE

The DAC has an automute function which applies an analogue mute when 1024 consecutive zeros

are detected. The mute is released as soon as a non-zero sample is detected. Automute can be

disabled using the AMUTE control bit.

DIGITAL HI-FI DAC VOLUME (GAIN) CONTROL

The signal volume from each Hi-Fi DAC can be controlled digitally. The gain and attenuation range

is –127dB to 0dB in 0.5dB steps. The level of attenuation for an eight-bit code X is given by:

0.5

× (X-255) dB for 1 ≤ X ≤ 255;

MUTE for X = 0

Note: An additional gain of up to +12dB can be added using the gain block embedded in the

digital peak limiter circuit (see DAC OUTPUT LIMITER section).

DAC 5-BAND EQUALISER

A 5-band graphic equaliser function which can be used to change the output frequency levels to suit

the environment. This can be applied to the ADC or DAC path and is described in the 5-BAND

EQUALISER section for further details on this feature.

DAC 3-D ENHANCEMENT

The WM8976 has an advanced digital 3-D enhancement feature which can be used to vary the

perceived stereo separation of the left and right channels. Like the 5-band equaliser this feature can

be applied to either the record path or the plaback path but not both simultaneously. See the 3-D

STEREO ENHANCEMENT section for further details on this feature.

DAC DIGITAL OUTPUT LIMITER

The WM8976 has a digital output limiter function. The operation of this is shown in Figure 18. In

this diagram the upper graph shows the envelope of the input/output signals and the lower graph

shows the gain characteristic.
