WM8960CGEFL/V stereo audio CODEC
The WM8960CGEFL/V is a low-power, high-quality stereo audio CODEC from Cirrus Logic, designed specifically for portable digital audio applications. It integrates stereo 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs and DACs, stereo Class D speaker drivers capable of delivering 1W per channel into 8Ω loads, and an on-chip headphone driver. The device operates from analog supplies down to 2.7V and digital supplies as low as 1.71V, with the speaker supply supporting up to 5.5V for higher output power. An on-chip PLL provides flexible clocking, supporting sample rates from 8kHz to 48kHz, while advanced digital signal processing includes automatic level control (ALC), limiter, and noise gate for microphone and line inputs.
WM8960CGEFL/V audio CODEC Key Features
Key features include stereo 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs and DACs with A-weighted SNR of 94dB for the ADC and 98dB for the DAC at 48kHz and 3.3V, along with stereo Class D speaker drivers delivering 1W per channel into 8Ω BTL speakers with <0.1% THD, 70dB PSRR at 217Hz, and up to 87% efficiency. The on-chip headphone driver provides 40mW output into 16Ω at 3.3V with capless mode support, while the microphone interface offers pseudo-differential inputs with integrated low-noise MICBIAS and programmable ALC/limiter and noise gate. The device supports a wide range of sample rates (8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48kHz) and features pop/click suppression, 3D enhancement, and flexible input configurations for up to three stereo sources. Power management includes software-controlled power-down of unused functions to minimize power consumption in portable applications.
