•
•
Mono ADC:
The WM8950 is a low power, high quality mono ADC designed
for portable applications such as Digital Still Camera, Digital
Voice Recorder or games console accessories.
Audio sample rates:8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48kHz
SNR 95dB, THD -85dB (‘A’-weighted @ 8 – 48ks/s)
Multiple auxiliary analog inputs
Mic Preamps:
Differential or single end Microphone Interface
The device integrates support for a differential or single ended
mic. External component requirements are reduced as no
separate microphone amplifiers are required.

-
Programmable preamp gain
Psuedo differential inputs with common mode rejection
Programmable ALC / Noise Gate in ADC path
Advanced Sigma Delta Converters are used along with digital
decimation filters to give high quality audio at sample rates
•
Low-noise bias supplied for electret microphones
from
8 to 48ks/s. Additional digital filtering options are
available, to cater for application filtering such as wind noise
reduction, noise rejection, plus an advanced mixed signal ALC
function with noise gate is provided.
OTHER FEATURES

•
•
5 band EQ
Programmable High Pass Filter (wind noise reduction)
Fully Programmable IIR Filter (notch filter)
On-chip PLL
An on-chip PLL is provided to generate the required Master
Clock from an external reference clock. The PLL clock can
also be output if required elsewhere in the system.
Low power, low voltage
-
-
2.5V to 3.6V (digital: 1.71V to 3.6V)
power consumption TBD all-on 48ks/s mode
The WM8950 operates at supply voltages from 2.5 to 3.6V,
although the digital supplies can operate at voltages down to
1.71V to save power. Different sections of the chip can also be
powered down under software control by way of the selectable
two or three wire control interface.
