DESCRIPTION
The WM8750L is a low power, high quality stereo CODEC
designed for portable digital audio applications.
The device integrates complete interfaces to stereo or mono
microphones and a stereo headphone. External component
requirements are drastically reduced as no separate
microphone or headphone amplifiers are required.
Advanced on-chip digital signal processing performs graphic
equaliser, 3-D sound enhancement and automatic level
control for the microphone or line input.
The WM8750L can operate as a master or a slave, with
various master clock frequencies including 12 or 24MHz for
USB devices, or standard 256fs rates like 12.288MHz and
24.576MHz. Different audio sample rates such as 96kHz,
48kHz, 44.1kHz are generated directly from the master
clock without the need for an external PLL.
The WM8750L operates at supply voltages down to 1.8V,
although the digital core can operate at voltages down to
1.42V to save power, and the maximum for all supplies is
3.6 Volts. Different sections of the chip can also be powered
down under software control.
The WM8750L is supplied in a very small and thin 5x5mm
QFN package, ideal for use in hand-held and portable
systems.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Permanent damage to the device may be caused by continuously
operating at or beyond these limits. Device functional operating limits and guaranteed performance specifications are given
under Electrical Characteristics at the test conditions specified.
ESD Sensitive Device. This device is manufactured on a CMOS process. It is therefore generically susceptible
to damage from excessive static voltages. Proper ESD precautions must be taken during handling and storage
of this device.
Wolfson tests its package types according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B for Moisture Sensitivity to determine acceptable storage
conditions prior to surface mount assembly. These levels are:
MSL1 = unlimited floor life at <30C / 85% Relative Humidity. Not normally stored in moisture barrier bag.
MSL2 = out of bag storage for 1 year at <30C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
MSL3 = out of bag storage for 168 hours at <30C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level for each package type is specified in Ordering Information.

POWER CONSUMPTION
The power consumption of the WM8750L depends on the following factors.
Supply voltages: Reducing the supply voltages also reduces supply currents, and therefore results in significant power
savings, especially in the digital sections of the WM8750L.
Operating mode: Significant power savings can be achieved by always disabling parts of the WM8750L that are not
used (e.g. mic pre-amps, unused outputs, DAC, ADC, etc.)

Figure 6 Internal Power on Reset Circuit Schematic
The WM8750 includes an internal Power-On-Reset Circuit, as shown in Figure 6, which is used to
reset the digital logic into a default state after power up. The power on reset circuit is powered from
DCVDD and monitors DCVDD and AVDD. It asserts PORB low if DCVDD or AVDD are below a
minimum threshold.
Figure 7 Typical Power-Up Sequence
Figure 7 shows a typical power-up sequence. When DCVDD and AVDD rise above the minimum
thresholds, Vpord_dcvdd and Vpord_avdd, there is enough voltage for the circuit to guarantee the
Power on Reset is asserted low and the chip is held in reset. In this condition, all writes to the control
interface are ignored. When DCVDD rises to Vpor_dcvdd_on and AVDD rises to Vpor_avdd_on,
PORB is released high and all registers are in their default state and writes to the control interface
may take place. If DCVDD and AVDD rise at different rates then PORB will only be released when
DCVDD and AVDD have both exceeded the Vpor_dcvdd_on and Vpor_avdd_on thresholds.
On power down, PORB is asserted low whenever DCVDD drops below the minimum threshold
Vpor_dcvdd_off or AVDD drops below the minimum threshold Vpor_avdd_off.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The WM8750L is a low power audio codec offering a combination of high quality audio, advanced
features, low power and small size. These characteristics make it ideal for portable digital audio
applications such as MP3 and minidisk player / recorders. Stereo 24-bit multi-bit delta sigma ADCs
and DACs are used with oversampling digital interpolation and decimation filters.
The device includes three stereo analogue inputs that can be switched internally. Each can be used
as either a line level input or microphone input and LINPUT1/RINPUT1 and LINPUT2/RINPUT2 can
be configured as mono differential inputs. A programmable gain amplifier with automatic level control
(ALC) keeps the recording volume constant. The on-chip stereo ADC and DAC are of a high quality
using a multi-bit, low-order oversampling architecture to deliver optimum performance with low power
consumption.
The DAC output signal first enters an analogue mixer where an analogue input and/or the post-ALC
signal can be added to it. This mix is available on line and headphone outputs.
The WM8750L has a configurable digital audio interface where ADC data can be read and digital
audio playback data fed to the DAC. It supports a number of audio data formats including I2S, DSP
Mode (a burst mode in which frame sync plus 2 data packed words are transmitted), MSB-First, left
justified and MSB-First, right justified, and can operate in master or slave modes.
The WM8750L uses a unique clocking scheme that can generate many commonly used audio sample
rates from either a 12.00MHz USB clock or an industry standard 256/384 fs clock. This feature
eliminates the common requirement for an external phase-locked loop (PLL) in applications where the
master clock is not an integer multiple of the sample rate. Sample rates of 8kHz, 11.025kHz, 12kHz,
16kHz, 22.05kHz, 24kHz, 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz can be generated. The digital
filters used for recording and playback are optimised for each sampling rate used.
To allow full software control over all its features, the WM8750L offers a choice of 2 or 3 wire MPU
control interface. It is fully compatible and an ideal partner for a wide range of industry standard
microprocessors, controllers and DSPs.
The design of the WM8750L has given much attention to power consumption without compromising
performance. It operates at very low voltages, and includes the ability to power off parts of the
circuitry under software control, including standby and power off modes.
INPUT SIGNAL PATH
The input signal path for each channel consists of a switch to select between three analogue inputs,
followed by a PGA (programmable gain amplifier) and an optional microphone gain boost. A
differential input of either (LINPUT1 – RINPUT1) or (LINPUT2 – RINPUT2) may also be selected. The
gain of the PGA can be controlled either by the user or by the on-chip ALC function (see Automatic
Level Control).
The signal then enters an ADC where it is digitised. Alternatively, the two channels can also be mixed
in the analogue domain and digitised in one ADC while the other ADC is switched off. The mono-mix
signal appears on both digital output channels.
SIGNAL INPUTS
The WM8750L has three sets of high impedance, low capacitance AC coupled analogue inputs,
LINPUT1/RINPUT1, LINPUT2/RINPUT2 and LINPUT3/RINPUT3. Inputs can be configured as
microphone or line level by enabling or disabling the microphone gain boost.
LINSEL and RINSEL control bits (see Table 3) are used to select independently between external
inputs and internally generated differential products (LINPUT1-RINPUT1 or LINPUT2-RINPUT2). The
choice of differential signal, LINPUT1-RINPUT1 or LINPUT2-RINPUT2 is made using DS (refer to
Table 5).
Production Data WM8750L
w PD, Rev 4.4, August 2012
19
As an example, the WM8750 can be set up to convert one differential and one single ended mono
signal by applying the differential signal to LINPUT1/RINPUT1 and the single ended signal to
RINPUT2. By setting LINSEL to L-R Differential (see Table 3), DS to LINPUT1 - RINPUT1 (see Table
5) and RINSEL to RINPUT2, each mono signal can then be routed to a separate ADC or Bypass
path.
The signal inputs are biased internally to the reference voltage VREF. Whenever the line inputs are
muted or the device placed into standby mode, the inputs are kept biased to VREF using special anti-
thump circuitry. This reduces any audible clicks that may otherwise be heard when changing inputs.
DC MEASUREMENT
For DC measurements (for example, battery voltage monitoring), the input signal at the LINPUT1
and/or RINPUT1 pins can be taken directly into the respective ADC, bypassing both PGA and
microphone boost. The ADC output then becomes unsigned relative to AVDD, instead of being a
signed (two’s complement) number relative to VREF. Setting L/RDCM will override L/RINSEL. The
input range for dc measurement is AGND to AVDD.

MONO MIXING
The stereo ADC can operate as a stereo or mono device, or the two channels can be mixed to mono,
either in the analogue domain (i.e. before the ADC) or in the digital domain (after the ADC).
MONOMIX selects the mode of operation. For analogue mono mix either the left or right channel ADC
can be used, allowing the unused ADC to be powered off or used for a dc measurement conversion.
The user also has the flexibility to select the data output from the audio interface using DATSEL. The
default is for left and right channel ADC data to be output, but the interface may also be configured so
that e.g. left channel ADC data is output as both left and right data for when an analogue mono mix is
selected.
Note:
If DC measurement is selected this overrides the MONOMIX selection.

PGA CONTROL
The PGA matches the input signal level to the ADC input range. The PGA gain is logarithmically
adjustable from +30dB to –17.25dB in 0.75dB steps. Each PGA can be controlled either by the user
or by the ALC function (see Automatic Level Control). When ALC is enabled for one or both channels,
then writing to the corresponding PGA control register has no effect.
The gain is independently adjustable on both Right and Left Line Inputs. Additionally, by controlling
the register bits LIVU and RIVU, the left and right gain settings can be simultaneously updated.
Setting the LIZC and RIZC bits enables a zero-cross detector which ensures that PGA gain changes
only occur when the signal is at zero, eliminating any zipper noise. If zero cross is enabled a timeout
is also available to update the gain if a zero cross does not occur. This function may be enabled by
setting TOEN in register R23 (17h).
The inputs can also be muted in the analogue domain under software control. The software control
registers are shown in Table 9. If zero crossing is enabled, it is necessary to enable zero cross
timeout to un-mute the input PGAs. This is because their outputs will not cross zero when muted.
Alternatively, zero cross can be disabled before sending the un-mute command.

ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC)
The WM8750L uses a multi-bit, oversampled sigma-delta ADC for each channel. The use of multi-bit
feedback and high oversampling rates reduces the effects of jitter and high frequency noise. The ADC
Full Scale input level is proportional to AVDD. With a 3.3V supply voltage, the full scale level is 1.0
Volts r.m.s. Any voltage greater than full scale may overload the ADC and cause distortion.
ADC DIGITAL FILTER
The ADC filters perform true 24 bit signal processing to convert the raw multi-bit oversampled data
from the ADC to the correct sampling frequency to be output on the digital audio interface. The digital
filter path is illustrated in Figure 9.

The ADC digital filters contain a digital high pass filter, selectable via software control. The high-pass
filter response is detailed in the Digital Filter Characteristics section. When the high-pass filter is
enabled the dc offset is continuously calculated and subtracted from the input signal. By setting
HPOR, the last calculated dc offset value is stored when the high-pass filter is disabled and will
continue to be subtracted from the input signal. If the DC offset is changed, the stored and
subtracted value will not change unless the high-pass filter is enabled. This feature can be used for
calibration purposes. In addition the highpass filter may be enabled separately on the left and right
channels (see Table 11).

DIGITAL ADC VOLUME CONTROL
The output of the ADCs can be digitally amplified or attenuated over a range from –97dB to +30dB in
0.5dB steps. The volume of each channel can be controlled separately. The gain for a given eight-bit
code X is given by:
0.5 (X-195) dB for 1 X 255; MUTE for X = 0
The LAVU and RAVU control bits control the loading of digital volume control data. When LAVU or
RAVU are set to 0, the LADCVOL or RADCVOL control data will be loaded into the respective control
register, but will not actually change the digital gain setting. Both left and right gain settings are
updated when either LAVU or RAVU are set to 1. This makes it possible to update the gain of both
channels simultaneously.

AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)
The WM8750L has an automatic level control that aims to keep a constant recording volume
irrespective of the input signal level. This is achieved by continuously adjusting the PGA gain so that
the signal level at the ADC input remains constant. A digital peak detector monitors the ADC output
and changes the PGA gain if necessary. Note that when the ALC function is enabled, the settings of
registers 0 and 1 (LINVOL, LIVU, LIZC, LINMUTE, RINVOL, RIVU, RIZC and RINMUTE) are ignored.

Figure 10 ALC Operation
The ALC function is enabled using the ALCSEL control bits. When enabled, the recording volume can
be programmed between –6dB and –28.5dB (relative to ADC full scale) using the ALCL register bits.
An upper limit for the PGA gain can be imposed by setting the MAXGAIN control bits.
HLD, DCY and ATK control the hold, decay and attack times, respectively:
Hold time is the time delay between the peak level detected being below target and the PGA gain
beginning to ramp up. It can be programmed in power-of-two (2n) steps, e.g. 2.67ms, 5.33ms,
10.67ms etc. up to 43.7s. Alternatively, the hold time can also be set to zero. The hold time only
applies to gain ramp-up, there is no delay before ramping the gain down when the signal level is
above target.
Decay (Gain Ramp-Up) Time is the time that it takes for the PGA gain to ramp up across 90% of its
range (e.g. from –15B up to 27.75dB). The time it takes for the recording level to return to its target
value therefore depends on both the decay time and on the gain adjustment required. If the gain
adjustment is small, it will be shorter than the decay time. The decay time can be programmed in
power-of-two (2n) steps, from 24ms, 48ms, 96ms, etc. to 24.58s.
Attack (Gain Ramp-Down) Time is the time that it takes for the PGA gain to ramp down across 90%
of its range (e.g. from 27.75dB down to -15B gain). The time it takes for the recording level to return
to its target value therefore depends on both the attack time and on the gain adjustment required. If
the gain adjustment is small, it will be shorter than the attack time. The attack time can be
programmed in power-of-two (2n) steps, from 6ms, 12ms, 24ms, etc. to 6.14s.
When operating in stereo, the peak detector takes the maximum of left and right channel peak values,
and any new gain setting is applied to both left and right PGAs, so that the stereo image is preserved.
However, the ALC function can also be enabled on one channel only. In this case, only one PGA is
controlled by the ALC mechanism, while the other channel runs independently with its PGA gain set
through the control register.
When one ADC channel is unused or used for DC measurement, the peak detector disregards that
channel. The ALC function can also operate when the two ADC outputs are mixed to mono in the
digital domain, but not if they are mixed to mono in the analogue domain, before entering the ADCs.

PEAK LIMITER
To prevent clipping when a large signal occurs just after a period of quiet, the ALC circuit includes a
limiter function. If the ADC input signal exceeds 87.5% of full scale (–1.16dB), the PGA gain is
ramped down at the maximum attack rate (as when ATK = 0000), until the signal level falls below
87.5% of full scale. This function is automatically enabled whenever the ALC is enabled.
Note:
If ATK = 0000, then the limiter makes no difference to the operation of the ALC. It is designed to
prevent clipping when long attack times are used.
NOISE GATE
When the signal is very quiet and consists mainly of noise, the ALC function may cause “noise
pumping”, i.e. loud hissing noise during silence periods. The WM8750L has a noise gate function that
prevents noise pumping by comparing the signal level at the LINPUT1/2/3 and/or RINPUT1/2/3 pins
against a noise gate threshold, NGTH. The noise gate cuts in when:
Signal level at ADC [dB] < NGTH [dB] + PGA gain [dB] + Mic Boost gain [dB]
This is equivalent to:
Signal level at input pin [dB] < NGTH [dB]
The ADC output can then either be muted or alternatively, the PGA gain can be held constant
(preventing it from ramping up as it normally would when the signal is quiet).
The table below summarises the noise gate control register. The NGTH control bits set the noise gate
threshold with respect to the ADC full-scale range. The threshold is adjusted in 1.5dB steps. Levels
at the extremes of the range may cause inappropriate operation, so care should be taken with set–up
of the function. Note that the noise gate only works in conjunction with the ALC function, and always
operates on the same channel(s) as the ALC (left, right, both, or none).

3D STEREO ENHANCEMENT
The WM8750L has a digital 3D enhancement option to artificially increase the separation between the
left and right channels. This effect can be used for recording or playback, but not for both
simultaneously. Selection of 3D for record or playback is controlled by register bit MODE3D.
Important:
Switching the 3D filter from record to playback or from playback to record may only be done when
ADC and DAC are disabled. The WM8750L control interface will only allow MODE3D to be changed
when ADC and DAC are disabled (i.e. bits ADCL, ADCR, DACL and DACR in reg. 26 / 1Ah are all
zero).
The 3D enhancement function is activated by the 3DEN bit, and has two programmable parameters.
The 3DDEPTH setting controls the degree of stereo expansion. Additionally, one of four filter
characteristics can be selected for the 3D processing, using the 3DVC and 3DLC control bits.

OUTPUT SIGNAL PATH
The WM8750L output signal paths consist of digital filters, DACs, analogue mixers and output drivers.
The digital filters and DACs are enabled when the WM8750L is in ‘playback only’ or ‘record and
playback’ mode. The mixers and output drivers can be separately enabled by individual control bits
(see Analogue Outputs). Thus it is possible to utilise the analogue mixing and amplification provided
by the WM8750L, irrespective of whether the DACs are running or not.
The WM8750L receives digital input data on the DACDAT pin. The digital filter block processes the
data to provide the following functions:
Digital volume control
Graphic equaliser and Dynamic Bass Boost
Sigma-Delta Modulation
Two high performance sigma-delta audio DACs convert the digital data into two analogue signals (left
and right). These can then be mixed with analogue signals from the LINPUT1/2/3 and RINPUT1/2/3
pins, and the mix is fed to the output drivers, LOUT1/ROUT1, LOUT2/ROUT2, OUT3 and
MONOOUT.
LOUT1/ROUT1/OUT3: can drive a 16 or 32 stereo headphone or stereo line output.
LOUT2/ROUT2: can drive a 16 or 32 stereo headphone or stereo line output, or an 8
mono speaker.
MONOOUT: can drive a mono line output or other load down to 10k
DIGITAL DAC VOLUME CONTROL
The signal volume from each DAC can be controlled digitally, in the same way as the ADC volume
(see Digital ADC Volume Control). The gain and attenuation range is –127dB to 0dB in 0.5dB steps.
The level of attenuation for an eight-bit code X is given by:
0.5 (X-255) dB for 1 X 255; MUTE for X = 0
The LDVU and RDVU control bits control the loading of digital volume control data. When LDVU or
RDVU are set to 0, the LDACVOL or RDACVOL control data is loaded into an intermediate register,
but the actual gain does not change. Both left and right gain settings are updated simultaneously
when either LDVU or RDVU are set to 1.

GRAPHIC EQUALISER
The WM8750L has a digital graphic equaliser and adaptive bass boost function. This function
operates on digital audio data before it is passed to the audio DACs. Bass enhancement can take two
different forms:
Linear bass control: bass signals are amplified or attenuated by a user programmable gain.
This is independent of signal volume, and very high bass gains on loud signals may lead to
signal clipping.
Adaptive bass boost: The bass volume is amplified by a variable gain. When the bass
volume is low, it is boosted more than when the bass volume is high. This method is
recommended because it prevents clipping, and usually sounds more pleasant to the
human ear.
Treble control applies a user programmable gain, without any adaptive boost function. Bass and
treble control are completely independent with separately programmable gains and filter
characteristics.

DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTER (DAC)
After passing through the graphic equaliser filters, digital ‘de-emphasis’ can be applied to the audio
data if necessary (e.g. when the data comes from a CD with pre-emphasis used in the recording). De-
emphasis filtering is available for sample rates of 48kHz, 44.1kHz and 32kHz.
The WM8750L also has a Soft Mute function, which gradually attenuates the volume of the digital
signal to zero. When removed, the gain will return to the original setting. This function is enabled by
default. To play back an audio signal, it must first be disabled by setting the DACMU bit to zero.

Table 19 DAC Control
The digital audio data is converted to oversampled bit streams in the on-chip, true 24-bit digital
interpolation filters. The bitstream data enters two multi-bit, sigma-delta DACs, which convert them to
high quality analogue audio signals. The multi-bit DAC architecture reduces high frequency noise and
sensitivity to clock jitter. It also uses a Dynamic Element Matching technique for high linearity and low
distortion.
In normal operation, the left and right channel digital audio data is converted to analogue in two
separate DACs. However, it is also possible to disable one channel, so that the same signal (left or
right) appears on both analogue output channels. Additionally, there is a mono-mix mode where the
two audio channels are mixed together digitally and then converted to analogue using only one DAC,
while the other DAC is switched off. The mono-mix signal can be selected to appear on both
analogue output channels.
The DAC output defaults to non-inverted. Setting DACINV will invert the DAC output phase on both
left and right channels.

OUTPUT MIXERS
The WM8750L provides the option to mix the DAC output signal with analogue line-in signals from the
LINPUT1/2/3, RINPUT1/2/3 pins or a mono differential input (LINPUT1 – RINPUT1) or (LINPUT2 –
RINPUT2), selected by DS (see Table 5) . The level of the mixed-in signals can be controlled with
PGAs (Programmable Gain Amplifiers).
The mono mixer is designed to allow a number of signal combinations to be mixed, including the
possibility of mixing both the right and left channels together to produce a mono output. To prevent
overloading of the mixer when full-scale DAC left and right signals are input, the mixer inputs from the
DAC outputs each have a fixed gain of -6dB. The bypass path inputs to the mono mixer have variable
gain as determined by R38/R39 bits [6:4].

0101111 (minimum) mutes the output driver. The corresponding output pin remains at the same DC
level (the reference voltage on the VREF pin), so that no click noise is produced when muting or un-
muting.
A zero cross detect on the analogue output may also be enabled when changing the gain setting to
minimize audible clicks and zipper noise as the gain updates. If zero cross is enabled a timeout is
also available to update the gain if a zero cross does not occur. This function may be enabled by
setting TOEN in register R23 (17h).

The LOUT2 and ROUT2 output pins are essentially similar to LOUT1 and ROUT1, but they are

speaker drive, the ROUT2 signal must be inverted (ROUT2INV = 1), so that the left and right channel

ENABLING THE OUTPUTS
Each analogue output of the WM8750L can be separately enabled or disabled. The analogue mixer
associated with each output is powered on or off along with the output pin. All outputs are disabled by
default. To save power, unused outputs should remain disabled.
Outputs can be enabled at any time, except when VREF is disabled (VR=0), as this may cause pop
noise (see “Power Management” and “Applications Information” sections)

Table 29 Analogue Output Control
Whenever an analogue output is disabled, it remains connected to VREF (pin 20) through a resistor.
This helps to prevent pop noise when the output is re-enabled. The resistance between VREF and
each output can be controlled using the VROI bit in register 27. The default is low (1.5k), so that any
capacitors on the outputs can charge up quickly at start-up. If a high impedance is desired for
disabled outputs, VROI can then be set to 1, increasing the resistance to about 40k.

HEADPHONE SWITCH
The RINPUT3/HPDETECT pin can be used as a headphone switch control input to automatically
disable the speaker output and enable the headphone output e.g. when a headphone is plugged into
a jack socket. In this mode, enabled by setting HPSWEN, HPDETECT switches between headphone
and speaker outputs (e.g. when the pin is connected to a mechanical switch in the headphone socket
to detect plug-in). The HPSWPOL bit reverses the pin’s polarity. Note that the LOUT1, ROUT1,
LOUT2 and ROUT2 bits in register 26 must also be set for headphone and speaker output (see Table
31 and Table 32).
Note:
When RINPUT3/HPDETECT is used as the HPDETECT input, the thresholds become CMOS levels
(0.3 AVDD / 0.7 AVDD).

overheating a thermal shutdown circuit is included. If the device temperature reaches approximately

When DC blocking capacitors are used, then their capacitance and the load resistance together
determine the lower cut-off frequency, fc. Increasing the capacitance lowers fc, improving the bass
response. Smaller capacitance values will diminish the bass response. Assuming a 16 Ohm load and
C1, C2 = 220F:
fc = 1 / 2 RLC1 = 1 / (2 x 16 x 220F) = 45 Hz
In the DC coupled configuration, the headphone “ground” is connected to the OUT3 pin, which must
be enabled by setting OUT3 = 1 and OUT3SW = 00. As the OUT3 pin produces a DC voltage of
AVDD/2 (=VREF), there is no DC offset between LOUT1/ROUT1 and OUT3, and therefore no DC
blocking capacitors are required. This saves space and material cost in portable applications.
It is recommended to connect the DC coupled headphone outputs only to headphones, and not to the
line input of another device. Although the built-in short circuit protection will prevent any damage to
the headphone outputs, such a connection may be noisy, and may not function properly if the other
device is grounded.

DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE
The digital audio interface is used for inputting DAC data into the WM8750L and outputting ADC data
from it. It uses five pins:
ADCDAT: ADC data output
ADCLRC: ADC data alignment clock
DACDAT: DAC data input
DACLRC: DAC data alignment clock
BCLK: Bit clock, for synchronisation
The clock signals BCLK, ADCLRC and DACLRC can be outputs when the WM8750L operates as a
master, or inputs when it is a slave (see Master and Slave Mode Operation, below).
Four different audio data formats are supported:

All four of these modes are MSB first. They are described in Audio Data Formats, below. Refer to the
Electrical Characteristic section for timing information.
MASTER AND SLAVE MODE OPERATION
The WM8750L can be configured as either a master or slave mode device. As a master device the
WM8750L generates BCLK, ADCLRC and DACLRC and thus controls sequencing of the data
transfer on ADCDAT and DACDAT. In slave mode, the WM8750L responds with data to clocks it
receives over the digital audio interface. The mode can be selected by writing to the MS bit (see
Table 23). Master and slave modes are illustrated below.

Note: For optimum ADC audio performance in Slave Mode, the BCLK input signal edge should
coincide with the falling edge of MCLK.
Note that the ADCDAT output pin may be either logic ‘1’ or logic ‘0’ at power-up until data is clocked
out from the ADC. It is recommended to ensure that any external connection to the ADCDAT pin is
compatible with the ADCDAT output pin being driven either high or low by the WM8750L until ADC
data is clocked out. Alternatively, the ADCDAT pin can be tri-stated by setting the TRI bit in Register
R24 (see Table 35).

In Left Justified mode, the MSB is available on the first rising edge of BCLK following a LRCLK
transition. The other bits up to the LSB are then transmitted in order. Depending on word length,
BCLK frequency and sample rate, there may be unused BCLK cycles before each LRCLK transition.

In Right Justified mode, the LSB is available on the last rising edge of BCLK before a LRCLK

The other bits up to the LSB are then transmitted in order. Depending on word length, BCLK
frequency and sample rate, there may be unused BCLK cycles between the LSB of one sample and
the MSB of the next.

In DSP/PCM mode, the left channel MSB is available on either the 1st (mode B) or 2nd (mode A)
rising edge of BCLK (selectable by LRP) following a rising edge of LRC. Right channel data
immediately follows left channel data. Depending on word length, BCLK frequency and sample rate,
there may be unused BCLK cycles between the LSB of the right channel data and the next sample.
In device master mode, the LRC output will resemble the frame pulse shown in Figure 21 and Figure
22. In device slave mode, Figure 23 and Figure 24, it is possible to use any length of frame pulse less
than 1/fs, providing the falling edge of the frame pulse occurs greater than one BCLK period before
the rising edge of the next frame pulse.

The default master mode bit clock generator produces a bit clock frequency based on the sample rate
and input MCLK frequency as shown in Table 40. When enabled by setting the appropriate BCM[1:0]
bits, the bit clock mode (BCM) function overrides the default master mode bit clock generator to

The BCM mode bit clock generator produces 16 or 24 bit clock cycles per sample. The number of bit
clock cycles per sample in this mode is determined by the word length bits (WL[1:0]) in the Digital
Audio Interface Format register (R7). When these bits are set to 00, there will be 16 bit clock cycles
per sample. When these bits are set to 01, 10 or 11, there will be 24 bit clock cycles per sample.
Please refer to Figure 25.

The BCM generator uses the ADCLRC signal, hence the ADCLRC signal must be enabled when
using bit clock mode. To enable the ADCLRC signal, either the ADC must be powered up or, if the
ADC is not in use, the LRCM bit must be set to enable both the ADCLRC and DACLRC signals when
either the ADC or the DAC is enabled.
Note that, when the BCM function is enabled, the following restrictions apply:
1. The bit clock invert (BCLKINV) function is not available.
2. The DAC and ADC must be operated at the same sample rate.
3. DSP Mode-B digital audio interface mode is not available and must not be selected.

CLOCK OUTPUT
By default ADCLRC (pin 9) is the ADC word clock input/output. Under the control of ADCLRM[1:0],
register 27(1Bh) bits [8:7] the ADCLRC pin may be configured as a clock output. If ADCLRM is 01, 10
or 11 then ADCLRC pin is always an output even in slave mode or when TRI = ‘1’, (see Table 38).
The ADC then uses the DACLRC pin as its LRCLK in both master and slave modes.

CLOCKING AND SAMPLE RATES
The WM8750L supports a wide range of master clock frequencies on the MCLK pin, and can
generate many commonly used audio sample rates directly from the master clock. The ADC and DAC
do not need to run at the same sample rate; several different combinations are possible.
There are two clocking modes:
‘Normal’ mode supports master clocks of 128fs, 192fs, 256fs, 384fs, and their multiples
(Note: fs refers to the ADC or DAC sample rate, whichever is faster)
USB mode supports 12MHz or 24MHz master clocks. This mode is intended for use in
systems with a USB interface, and eliminates the need for an external PLL to generate
another clock frequency for the audio codec.

Table 39 Clocking and Sample Rate Control
The clocking of the WM8750L is controlled using the CLKDIV2, USB, and SR control bits. Setting the
CLKDIV2 bit divides MCLK by two internally. The USB bit selects between ‘Normal’ and USB mode.
Each value of SR[4:0] selects one combination of MCLK division ratios and hence one combination of
sample rates (see next page). Since all sample rates are generated by dividing MCLK, their accuracy
depends on the accuracy of MCLK. If MCLK changes, the sample rates change proportionately.
Note that some sample rates (e.g. 44.1kHz in USB mode) are approximated, i.e. they differ from their
target value by a very small amount. This is not audible, as the maximum deviation is only 0.27%
(8.0214kHz instead of 8kHz in USB mode). By comparison, a half-tone step corresponds to a 5.9%
change in pitch.
The SR[4:0] bits must be set to configure the appropriate ADC and DAC sample rates in both master
and slave mode.
Note: When the ADC is configured at a sample rate of 88.2kHz, 88.235kHz or 96kHz (see Table 40),
the Right Channel ADC data will be delayed by one sample with respect to the Left Channel data.

CONTROL INTERFACE
SELECTION OF CONTROL MODE
The WM8750L is controlled by writing to registers through a serial control interface. A control word
consists of 16 bits. The first 7 bits (B15 to B9) are address bits that select which control register is
accessed. The remaining 9 bits (B8 to B0) are data bits, corresponding to the 9 bits in each control
register. The control interface can operate as either a 3-wire or 2-wire MPU interface. The MODE pin
selects the interface format.

High 3 wire
Table 41 Control Interface Mode Selection
3-WIRE SERIAL CONTROL MODE
In 3-wire mode, every rising edge of SCLK clocks in one data bit from the SDIN pin. A rising edge on
CSB latches in a complete control word consisting of the last 16 bits.

2-WIRE SERIAL CONTROL MODE
The WM8750L supports software control via a 2-wire serial bus. Many devices can be controlled by
the same bus, and each device has a unique 7-bit address (this is not the same as the 7-bit address
of each register in the WM8750L).
The WM8750L operates as a slave device only. The controller indicates the start of data transfer with
a high to low transition on SDIN while SCLK remains high. This indicates that a device address and
data will follow. All devices on the 2-wire bus respond to the start condition and shift in the next eight
bits on SDIN (7-bit address + Read/Write bit, MSB first). If the device address received matches the
address of the WM8750L and the R/W bit is ‘0’, indicating a write, then the WM8750L responds by
pulling SDIN low on the next clock pulse (ACK). If the address is not recognised or the R/W bit is ‘1’,
the WM8750L returns to the idle condition and wait for a new start condition and valid address.
Once the WM8750L has acknowledged a correct address, the controller sends the first byte of control
data (B15 to B8, i.e. the WM8750L register address plus the first bit of register data). The WM8750L
then acknowledges the first data byte by pulling SDIN low for one clock pulse. The controller then
sends the second byte of control data (B7 to B0, i.e. the remaining 8 bits of register data), and the
WM8750L acknowledges again by pulling SDIN low.
The transfer of data is complete when there is a low to high transition on SDIN while SCLK is high.
After receiving a complete address and data sequence the WM8750L returns to the idle state and
waits for another start condition. If a start or stop condition is detected out of sequence at any point
during data transfer (i.e. SDIN changes while SCLK is high), the device jumps to the idle condition.

POWER SUPPLIES
The WM8750L can use up to four separate power supplies:
AVDD / AGND: Analogue supply, powers all analogue functions except the headphone drivers.
AVDD can range from 1.8V to 3.6V and has the most significant impact on overall power
consumption (except for power consumed in the headphone). A large AVDD slightly improves
audio quality.
HPVDD / HPGND: Headphone supply, powers the headphone drivers. HPVDD is normally tied
to AVDD, but it requires separate layout and decoupling capacitors to curb harmonic distortion.
If HPVDD is lower than AVDD, the output signal may be clipped.
DCVDD: Digital core supply, powers all digital functions except the audio and control interfaces.
DCVDD can range from 1.42V to 3.6V, and has no effect on audio quality. The return path for
DCVDD is DGND, which is shared with DBVDD.
DBVDD: Digital buffer supply, powers the audio and control interface buffers. This makes it
possible to run the digital core at very low voltages, saving power, while interfacing to other
digital devices using a higher voltage. DBVDD draws much less power than DCVDD, and has
no effect on audio quality. DBVDD can range from 1.8V to 3.6V. The return path for DBVDD is
DGND, which is shared with DCVDD.
It is possible to use the same supply voltage on all four. However, digital and analogue supplies
should be routed and decoupled separately to keep digital switching noise out of the analogue signal
paths.

POWER MANAGEMENT
The WM8750L has two control registers that allow users to select which functions are active. For
minimum power consumption, unused functions should be disabled. To avoid any pop or click noise,
it is important to enable or disable functions in the correct order (see Applications Information).
VMIDSEL is the enable for the Vmid reference, which defaults to disabled and can be enabled as a
50k potential divider or, for low power maintenance of Vref when all other blocks are disabled, as a
500k potential divider.

STOPPING THE MASTER CLOCK
In order to minimise power consumed in the digital core of the WM8750L, the master clock may be
stopped in Standby and OFF modes. If this cannot be done externally at the clock source, the
DIGENB bit (R25, bit 0) can be set to stop the MCLK signal from propagating into the device core. In
Standby mode, setting DIGENB will typically provide an additional power saving on DCVDD of 20uA.
However, since setting DIGENB has no effect on the power consumption of other system components
external to the WM8750L, it is preferable to disable the master clock at its source wherever possible.

Note: Before DIGENB can be set, the control bits ADCL, ADCR, DACL and DACR must be set to
zero and a waiting time of 1ms must be observed. Any failure to follow this procedure may prevent
DACs and ADCs from re-starting correctly.
SAVING POWER BY REDUCING OVERSAMPLING RATE
The default mode of operation of the ADC and DAC digital filters is in 128x oversampling mode.
Under the control of ADCOSR and DACOSR the oversampling rate may be halved. This will result in
a slight decrease in noise performance but will also reduce the power consumption of the device. In
USB mode ADCOSR must be set to 0, i.e. 128x oversampling.

SAVING POWER AT HIGHER SUPPLY VOLTAGES
The analogue supplies to the WM8750L can run from 1.8V to 3.6V. By default, all analogue circuitry
on the device is optimized to run at 3.3V. This set-up is also good for all other supply voltages down
to 1.8V. At lower voltages, performance can be improved by increasing the bias current. If low power
operation is preferred the bias current can be left at the default setting. This is controlled as shown
below.

LINE INPUT CONFIGURATION
When LINPUT1/RINPUT1 or LINPUT2/RINPUT2 are used as line inputs, the microphone boost and
ALC functions should normally be disabled.
In order to avoid clipping, the user must ensure that the input signal does not exceed AVDD. This
may require a potential divider circuit in some applications. It is also recommended to remove RF
interference picked up on any cables using a simple first-order RC filter, as high-frequency
components in the input signal may otherwise cause aliasing distortion in the audio band. AC signals
with no DC bias should be fed to the WM8750L through a DC blocking capacitor, e.g. 1F.
MICROPHONE INPUT CONFIGURATION
Figure 52 Recommended Circuit for Line Input
For interfacing to a microphone, the ALC function should be enabled and the microphone boost
switched on. Microphones held close to a speaker’s mouth would normally use the 13dB gain setting,
while tabletop or room microphones would need a 29dB boost.
The recommended application circuit is shown above. R1 and R2 form part of the biasing network
(refer to Microphone Bias section). R1 connected to MICBIAS is necessary only for electret type
microphones that require a voltage bias. R2 should always be present to prevent the microphone
input from charging to a high voltage which may damage the microphone on connection. R1 and R2
should be large so as not to attenuate the signal from the microphone, which can have source
impedance greater than 2kOhm. C1 together with the source impedance of the microphone and the
WM8750L input impedance forms an RF filter. C2 is a DC blocking capacitor to allow the microphone
to be biased at a different DC voltage to the MICIN signal.

MINIMISING POP NOISE AT THE ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
To minimise any pop or click noise when the system is powered up or down, the following procedures
are recommended.
POWER UP
Switch on power supplies. By default the WM8750L is in Standby Mode, the DAC is digitally
muted and the Audio Interface, Line outputs and Headphone outputs are all OFF (DACMU
= 1 Power Management registers 1 and 2 are all zeros).
Enable Vmid and VREF.
Enable DACs as required
Enable line and / or headphone output buffers as required.
Set DACMU = 0 to soft-un-mute the audio DACs.
POWER DOWN
Set DACMU = 1 to soft-mute the audio DACs.
Disable all output buffers.
Switch off the power supplies.
