WM9712L
w
AC’97 Audio and Touchpanel CODEC
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
AC’97 Rev 2.2 compatible stereo CODEC
- DAC SNR 94dB, THD –87dB
The WM9712L is a highly integrated input / output device
designed for mobile computing and communications. The
device can connect directly to a 4-wire or 5-wire touchpanel,
mono or stereo microphones, stereo headphones and a
mono speaker, reducing total component count in the
system. Additionally, phone input and output pins are
- ADC SNR 92dB, THD –87dB
- Variable Rate Audio, supports all WinCE sample rates
- Tone Control, Bass Boost and 3D Enhancement
On-chip 45mW headphone driver
On-chip 400mW mono speaker driver
Stereo, mono or differential microphone input
- Automatic Level Control (ALC)
provided
for
seamless
integration
with
wireless
communication devices.
The WM9712L also offers up to four auxiliary ADC inputs for
analogue measurements such as temperature or light, and
five GPIO pins for interfacing to buttons or other digital
devices. To monitor the battery voltage in portable systems,
the WM9712L has two uncommitted comparator inputs.
Auxiliary mono DAC (ring tone or DC level generation)
Seamless interface to wireless chipset
Resistive touchpanel interface
- Supports 4-wire and 5-wire panels
- 12-bit resolution, INL 2 LSBs (<0.5 pixels)
- X, Y and touch-pressure (Z) measurement
- Pen-down detection supported in Sleep Mode
Up to 5 GPIO pins
All device functions are accessed and controlled through a
single AC-Link interface compliant with the AC’97 standard.
Additionally, the WM9712L can generate interrupts to
indicate pen down, pen up, availability of touchpanel data,
low battery, dead battery, and GPIO conditions.
2 comparator inputs for battery monitoring
Up to 4 auxiliary ADC inputs
1.8V to 3.6V supplies
The WM9712L operates at supply voltages from 1.8 to 3.6
Volts. Each section of the chip can be powered down under
software control to save power. The device is available in a
small leadless 7x7mm QFN package, ideal for use in hand-
held portable systems.
