Wolfson Microelectronics
WM8595 multi-channel audio codec
Wolfson Microelectronics has announced the WM8595, a multi-channel audio codec designed to offer a complete high-performance audio solution in an ultra-thin package for consumer products.
The WM8595 is an addition to Wolfson's Pure Sound audio portfolio and features flexible routing options, six stereo input selectors and two stereo output selectors, as well as both digital and analogue volume control.
Based around one 24-bit high-performance ADC and two 24-bit high-performance DACs, this 2Vrms audio solution also features channel selection and clocking options to address the audio requirements of consumer applications.
The WM8595 provides DAC audio performance of 100dB SNR, -87dB THD typical, with a sampling frequency of 32kHz to 192kHz, and ADC audio performance of 96dB SNR, -80dB THD typical, with a sampling frequency of 32kHz to 96kHz.
Its digital multiplexer interfaces with multiple digital sources, such as DSP, HDMI or a memory card.
It also features a two-wire or three-wire serial control interface with 'read back' and hardware reset, mute and emergency shutdown pins.
The WM8595 is available for sampling now in a 48-pin QFN package.
WM8595 customer evaluation boards are available to aid device evaluation and development.
