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 two voltage supplies, with all other

internal supply rails generated 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.

Fully differential internal architecture and on-chip RF noise filters

ensure a very high degree of noise immunity. Active ground loop

noise rejection and DC offset correction help prevent pop noise

and suppress ground noise on the headphone outputs.
