The WM8962B is an ultra-low power stereo codec designed for portable audio applications, featuring a high-performance integrated charge pump that provides ground-referenced outputs, eliminating the need for DC-blocking capacitors on headphone outputs. It utilizes Wolfson's 'Class-W' amplifier techniques to optimize efficiency and power consumption during playback. The codec supports stereo Class D speaker drivers capable of delivering 1W per channel into 8Oc loads or 2W mono into 4Oc loads with a 5V supply, and includes mechanisms for low leakage, excellent power supply rejection ratio (PSRR), and pop/click suppression. The WM8962B offers flexible input configurations, accommodating four stereo or eight mono inputs, and integrates a digital microphone interface along with a programmable audio enhancement DSP that features multiple preset algorithms, including virtual surround sound and HD bass enhancement. It operates at low supply voltages, with an analogue range from 1.7V to 2.0V and digital supplies down to 1.62V, making it suitable for battery-powered devices. The device is packaged in a compact W-CSP format, measuring 3.6x3.9mm, which is ideal for handheld and portable systems.
The WM8962/62B are low power, high performance stereo codecs featuring an integrated charge pump to provide a ground referenced output which removes the need for DC blocking capacitors on the headphone outputs and incorporates a dual-mode charge pump architecture to optimize efficiency and power consumption during playback. A DC Servo is used to reduce DC ground offsets and to improve power consumption and minimizes pops and clicks. Stereo Class D speaker drivers provide 2W per channel into 4W BTL loads, with a 5V supply. Low leakage, excellent PSRR and pop/click suppression mechanisms also allow direct battery connection to the speaker supply. Flexible speaker boost settings allow speaker output power to be maximized while minimizing other analog supply currents. Control sequences for audio path setup can be pre-loaded and executed by an integrated sequencer to reduce software driver development and eliminate pops and clicks via Cirrus Logic’s SilentSwitch™ technology. Flexible input configuration: four stereo inputs or eight mono inputs on Left or Right ADC, with a complete analog (four single-ended stereo inputs) and digital microphone interface. A programmable audio enhancement DSP is included with multiple preset algorithms. Virtual surround sound widens the stereo speaker audio image, HD Bass enhances low frequencies, and ReTune™ flattens the frequency response of the speaker or microphone path. A configurable DSP includes additional functions such as 3D widening for recording, a 5-band parametric EQ and Dynamic Range Controller.
