Portable Internet Audio CODEC with
Headphone Driver and Programmable Sample Rates
Advanced Information, Rev 2.0, February 2001
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•
Audio Performance
The WM8731 is a low power stereo CODEC with an
integrated headphone driver. It offers the user the unique
ability to independently program the ADC and DAC sample
rates from a single clock source. The WM8731 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.

28-Pin SSOP Package
Stereo audio outputs are buffered for driving headphones
from a programmable volume control, line level outputs are
also provided along with anti-thump mute and power
up/down circuitry.
The device is controlled via a 2 or 3 wire serial interface.
The interface provides access to all features including
volume controls, mutes, de-emphasis and extensive power
management facilities. The device is available in a small 28-
pin SSOP package.
