DAC Sampling Frequency: 32kHz – 192kHz
ADC Sampling Frequency: 32kHz – 96kHz
The stereo 24-bit multi-bit sigma delta ADC has programmable
gain with limiting control. Digital audio output word lengths from
16-32 bits and sampling rates from 32kHz to 96kHz are
supported.
Stereo ADC input analogue gain adjust from +24dB to –21dB in
0.5dB steps

Programmable Limiter on ADC input.
A stereo multi-bit sigma delta DAC is used with digital audio
input word lengths from 16-32 bits and sampling rates from
32kHz to 192kHz.
Stereo DAC with differential analogue line outputs.
2-wire Serial Control Interface
The WM8591 supports fully independent sample rates for the
ADC and DAC. The audio data interface supports I2S, left
justified, right justified and DSP formats.
