DESCRIPTION
The WM8741 is a very high performance stereo DAC designed for audio applications such as professional recording systems, A/V receivers and high specification CD, DVD and home theatre systems. The device supports PCM data input word lengths from 16 to 32-bits and sampling rates up to 192kHz. The WM8741 also supports DSD bit-stream data format, in both direct DSD and PCM-converted DSD modes. 

The WM8741 includes fine resolution volume and soft mute control, digital de-emphasis and a range of advanced digital filter responses, followed by a digital interpolation filter, multi-bit sigma delta modulator and stereo DAC. Wolfson’s patented architecture optimises the linearity of the DAC and provides maximum insensitivity to clock jitter. 

The digital filters include several selectable roll-off and performance characteristics. The user can select between standard sharp or slow roll-off responses. In addition, the WM8741 includes a selection of advanced digital filter characteristics including non-half band filters and minimum phase filters. This flexibility provides a range of benefits, such as significantly reduced pre-ringing and minimal group delay. The internal digital filters can also be by-passed and the WM8741 used with an external digital filter. 

The WM8741 supports two connection schemes for audio DAC control. The 2/3 wire serial control interface provides access to all features. A range of features can also be accessed by hardware control interface. 

The WM8741 is available in a convenient 28-SSOP package, and is pin compatible with the WM8740.
