Mono CODEC:
The WM8974 is a low power, high quality mono CODEC
designed for portable applications such as Digital Still Camera
or Digital Voice Recorder.
Audio sample rates:8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48kHz
DAC SNR 98dB, THD -84dB (‘A’-weighted @ 8 – 48ks/s)
ADC SNR 94dB, THD -83dB (‘A’-weighted @ 8 – 48ks/s)
On-chip Headphone/Speaker Driver with ‘cap-less’ connect
The device integrates support for a differential or single ended
mic, and includes drivers for speakers or headphone, and
mono line output. External component requirements are
reduced as no separate microphone or headphone amplifiers
are required.

Additional MONO Line output
Multiple analog or ‘Aux’ inputs, plus analog bypass path
Mic Preamps:
Differential or single end Microphone Interface
Advanced Sigma Delta Converters are used along with digital
decimation and interpolation filters to give high quality audio at
sample rates from 8 to 48ks/s. Additional digital filtering
options are available in the ADC path, to cater for application
filtering such as ‘wind noise reduction’, plus an advanced
mixed signal ALC function with noise gate is provided. The
digital audio interface supports A-law and µ-law companding.

5 band EQ (record or playback path)
Digital Playback Limiter
Programmable ADC High Pass Filter (wind noise reduction)
Programmable ADC 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.
The WM8974 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. The speaker and mono outputs use a
separate supply of up to 5V which enables increased output
power if required. Different sections of the chip can also be
powered down under software control by way of the selectable
two or three wire control interface.
