Portable Internet Audio CODEC with Headphone Driver
and Programmable Sample Rates
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Highly Efficient Headphone Driver
Audio Performance
The WM8731 or WM8731L (WM8731/L) are low power
stereo CODECs with an integrated headphone driver. The
WM8731/L is designed specifically for portable MP3 audio
and speech players and recorders. The WM8731 is also
ideal for MD, CD-RW machines and DAT recorders.
