DESCRIPTION
The WM8706 is a high performance stereo DAC designed
for audio applications such as DVD, home theatre systems,
and digital TV. The WM8706 supports data input word
lengths from 16 to 32-bits and sampling rates up to 192kHz.
The WM8706 can implement 2 channels at 192kHz for high-
end DVD-Audio. The WM8706 consists of a serial interface
port, digital interpolation filters, multi-bit sigma delta
modulators and stereo DAC in a small 28-pin SSOP
package. The WM8706 also includes a digitally controllable
mute and attenuate function on each channel.
The WM8706 supports a variety of connection schemes for
audio DAC control. The MPU serial port provides access to
a wide range of features including on-chip mute, attenuation
and phase reversal. A hardware controllable interface is
also available. It is pin-compatible with the WM8716
provided the oscillator circuit on WM8716 is not required in
the application.
The WM8706 is an ideal device to interface to AC-3
,
DTS
, and MPEG audio decoders for surround sound
applications, or for use in DVD players supporting DVD-A.
