DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•
Audio Performance
The WM8778 is a high performance, stereo audio codec.
It is ideal for surround sound processing applications for
home hi-fi, DVD-RW and other audio visual equipment.

DAC Sampling Frequency: 32kHz – 192kHz
ADC Sampling Frequency: 32kHz – 96kHz
The stereo 24-bit multi-bit sigma delta ADC has
programmable gain with automatic level 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
•
•
ADC digital gain from -21.5dB to -103dB in 0.5dB steps
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. A multiplexor after the DAC
allows the selection of either an external analogue input
or DAC playback into the line outputs.
Programmable Automatic Level Control (ALC) or Limiter on
ADC input.

3-Wire SPI Compatible or 2-wire Serial Control Interface
Hardware Control Mode
The WM8778 supports fully independent sample rates
for the ADC and DAC. The audio data interface supports
I2S, left justified, right justified and DSP formats.
Master or Slave Clocking Mode
Programmable Audio Data Interface Modes
I2S, Left, Right Justified or DSP
The device is controlled in software via a 2 or 3 wire
serial interface which provides access to all features
including volume controls, mutes, and de-emphasis
facilities. It can also be controlled in hardware which
gives access to the most commonly used features.
Control interface selection is done via the MODE pin (tri-
level). The device is available in a 28-pin SSOP package.
