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.

Stereo line and mono microphone level audio inputs are
provided, along with a mute function, programmable line
level volume control and a bias voltage output suitable for
an electret type microphone.
Stereo 24-bit multi-bit sigma delta ADCs and DACs are
used with oversampling digital interpolation and decimation
filters. Digital audio input word lengths from 16-32 bits and
sampling rates from 8kHz to 96kHz are supported.

Microphone Input and Electret Bias with Side Tone Mixer
Available in 28-lead SSOP or 28-lead QFN package
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-
lead SSOP package or the smaller 28 lead quad flat
leadless package (QFN).
