Product Brief WM8956
w
Hi-Fi DAC with 1W Stereo Class D Speaker Drivers and
Headphone Drivers
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•
•
•
•
DAC SNR 98dB (‘A’ weighted), THD -84dB at 48kHz, 3.3V
Pop and click suppression
3D Enhancement
The WM8956 is a low power, high quality stereo DAC designed
for portable multimedia applications.
Stereo class D speaker drivers provide 1W per channel into 8Ω
loads with a 5V supply. Low leakage, excellent PSRR and
pop/click suppression mechanisms also allow direct battery
connection to the speaker supply. Flexible speaker boost
settings allow speaker output power to be maximised while
minimising other analogue supply currents.
Stereo Class D Speaker Driver

-
<0.1% THD with 1W per channel into 8Ω BTL speakers
70dB PSRR @217Hz
87% efficiency (1W output)
Flexible internal switching clock

On-chip Headphone Driver
-
-
-
40mW output power into 16Ω at 3.3V
Capless mode support
THD -75dB at 20mW, SNR 90dB with 16Ω load
A highly flexible input configuration for up to three stereo
sources is integrated, with a complete microphone interface.
External component requirements are drastically reduced as no
separate microphone, speaker or headphone amplifiers are
required.
Microphone Interface
-
-
Pseudo differential for high noise immunity
Integrated low noise MICBIAS
Stereo 24-bit sigma-delta DACs are used with low power over-
sampling digital interpolation filters and a flexible digital audio
interface.
•
•
Low Power Consumption
10mW headphone playback (2.7V / 1.8V supplies)
Low Supply Voltages
-
-
-
Analogue 2.7V to 3.6V (Speaker supply up to 5.5V)
Digital core and I/O: 1.71V to 3.6V
The master clock can be input directly or generated internally by
an onboard PLL, supporting most commonly-used clocking
schemes.

•
On-chip PLL provides flexible clocking scheme
Sample rates: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48
5x5x0.9mm QFN package
The WM8956 operates at analogue supply voltages down to
2.7V, although the digital supplies can operate at voltages down
to 1.71V to save power. The speaker supply can operate at up
to 5.5V, providing 1W per channel into 8Ω loads. Unused
functions can be disabled using software control to save power.
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
Mobile multimedia
Portable media / DVD players
Games consoles
The WM8956 is supplied in a very small and thin 5x5mm QFN
package, ideal for use in hand-held and portable systems.
