Multi-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Multi-channel High Definition Audio CODEC
Fully compatible with Intel High Definition Audio Revision 1.0
6-Channel DAC, 4-channel ADC
DAC sampling frequency 8kHz - 192kHz
ADC sampling frequency 8kHz - 96kHz
DAC Performance:
The WM8850 is
a high performance multi-channel audio
CODEC designed for high performance PC audio systems. The
device offers full compatibility with the Intel High Definition Audio
(HDA) specification revision 1.0, allowing seamless integration
with industry-standard HDA controllers.
The WM8850 has three high performance stereo DACs to
enable six channels of high definition audio, ideal for 5.1
channel applications. A high-performance ground-referenced
stereo headphone amplifier utilises advanced charge pump and
DC servo technology to minimise system cost and space without
compromise on audio quality. Line outputs provide a high-
quality differential connection to speaker amplifiers, enabling
common mode noise rejection when these traces are routed
across a PCB.

Power supplies
The WM8850 also has two high performance stereo ADCs to
provide Hi-Fi quality analogue line-in and microphone input
digitisation. A low noise microphone bias with programmable
output voltage is provided. Additionally, the CODEC contains a
digital microphone interface capable of supporting up to four
independent digital microphones. One differential stereo input is
provided for line level signals, while one pseudo-differential
stereo input with integrated microphone preamplifier is provided.
The WM8850 also contains a S/PDIF transceiver which is fully
compatible with IEC-60958-3. The S/PDIF receive and transmit
paths each contain a sample rate converter (SRC) to enable
asynchronous sample rate conversion between the S/PDIF
