DESCRIPTION
The WM9710 is a high-quality stereo audio codec with an
integrated headphone driver.
The device is compliant with the Intel AC’97 Rev 2.2
specification. It performs full-duplex 18-bit codec functions and
supports variable sample rates from 8kHz to 48kHz with high
signal to noise ratio. Analogue mixers are included to mix
external analogue signals into the playback or record path.
The WM9710 allows designers to easily integrate phone
functions with other audio functions such as MP3 playback and
voice recording. Mono inputs and outputs are provided to
connect to an external voice codec. The on-chip headphone
driver can distinguish between a stereo headphone and mono
headset, and route the signals accordingly.
Optional AC’97 features include 3D sound enhancement,
primary/secondary mode operation and S/PDIF or I
S output.
The 5-pin bi-directional AC-Link interface transfers control data,
DAC and ADC words to and from the AC’97 controller. The
WM9710 is fully operable on 3V or 5V or mixed 3/5V supplies,
and is packaged in a leadless, chip scale QFN package with
7mm body size or 48-pin TQFP package.
