The WM8736 is a high performance 6-channel DAC designed for audio applications such as DVD, home theatre systems, and digital TV. The WM8736 supports data input word lengths from 16 to 24-bits and sampling rates up to 96kHz. The WM8736 consists of a serial interface port, digital interpolation filter, multi-bit sigma delta modulator and 6 DACs in a small 28-pin SSOP package. The WM8736 also includes a digitally controllable mute and attenuator function on each channel.

The WM8736 supports a variety of connection schemes for audio DAC control. The SPI-compatible serial control port provides access to a wide range of features including on-chip mute, attenuation and phase reversal. A hardware controllable interface is also available.

The programmable data input port supports a variety of glueless interfaces to popular DSPs, audio decoders and S/PDIF and AES/EBU receivers.
