DESCRIPTION
The WM8994 is a highly integrated ultra-low power hi-fi CODEC designed for smartphones and other portable devices rich in multimedia features.
An integrated stereo class D/AB speaker driver and class W headphone driver minimize power consumption during audio playback.
The device requires only Vbatt and a 1.8V supply, generating all other internal supply rails from integrated LDOs.
Stereo full duplex asynchronous sample rate conversion and multi-channel digital mixing combined with powerful analogue mixing allow the device to support a huge range of different architectures and use cases.
A fully programmable parametric EQ provides speaker compensation and a dynamic range controller can be used in the ADC or DAC paths for maintaining a constant signal level, maximizing loudness and protecting speakers against overloading and clipping.
A smart digital microphone interface provides power regulation, a low jitter clock output and decimation filters for up to four digital microphones. A MIC activity detect with interrupt is available.
Active ground loop noise rejection and DC offset correction help prevent pop noise and suppress ground noise on the headphone outputs.
