The WM8595 provides superior DAC audio performance of 100dB SNR, -87dB THD typical, with a sampling frequency of 32kHz to 192kHz, and ADC audio performance of 96dB SNR, -80dB THD typical, with a sampling frequency of 32kHz to 96kHz. Its digital multiplexer interfaces with multiple digital sources, such as DSP, HDMI or a memory card, and it also features a two-wire or three-wire serial control interface with ‘read back’ and hardware reset, mute and emergency shutdown pins.
