Stereo CODEC with 1W Stereo Class D Speaker Drivers and 
Headphone Drivers for Portable Audio Applications 
WM8960
 
DESCRIPTION 
The  WM8960  is  a  low  power,  high  quality  stereo  CODEC 
designed for portable digital audio applications. 
Stereo class D speaker drivers provide 1W per channel into 8 
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  maximised  while 
minimising other analogue supply currents. 
A  highly  flexible  input  configuration  for  up  to  three  stereo 
sources  is  integrated,  with  a  complete  microphone  interface. 
External component requirements are drastically reduced as no 
separate  microphone,  speaker  or  headphone  amplifiers  are 
required.  Advanced  on-chip  digital  signal  processing  performs 
automatic level control for the microphone or line input. 
Stereo  24-bit  sigma-delta  ADCs  and  DACs  are  used  with  low 
power  over-sampling  digital  interpolation  and  decimation  filters 
and a flexible digital audio interface. 
 
 
The master clock can be input directly or generated internally by 
an  onboard  PLL,  supporting  most  commonly-used  clocking 
schemes. 
The  WM8960  operates  at  analogue  supply  voltages  down  to 
2.7V, although the digital supplies can operate at voltages down 
to 1.71V to save power. The speaker supply can operate at up 
to  5.5V,  providing  1W  per  channel  into  8  loads.  Unused 
functions can be disabled using software control to save power. 
The WM8960 is supplied in a very small and thin 5x5mm QFN 
package, ideal for use in hand-held and portable systems. 
FEATURES

  ADC SNR 94dB (‘A’ weighted), THD -82dB at 48kHz, 3.3V

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Permanent damage to the device may be caused by continuously 
operating at or beyond these limits. Device functional operating limits and guaranteed performance specifications are given 
under Electrical Characteristics at the test conditions specified. 
 
ESD Sensitive Device. This device is manufactured on a CMOS process. It is therefore generically susceptible 
to damage from excessive static voltages. Proper ESD precautions must be taken during handling and storage 
of this device. 
 
Wolfson  tests  its  package  types  according  to  IPC/JEDEC  J-STD-020  for  Moisture  Sensitivity  to  determine  acceptable  storage 
conditions prior to surface mount assembly. These levels are: 
MSL1 = unlimited floor life at <30C / 85% Relative Humidity. Not normally stored in moisture barrier bag. 
MSL2 = out of bag storage for 1 year at <30C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag. 
MSL3 = out of bag storage for 168 hours at <30C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag. 
The Moisture Sensitivity Level for each package type is specified in Ordering Information.

Notes: 
1.  Analogue, digital and speaker grounds must always be within 0.3V of each other. 
2.  All digital and analogue supplies are completely independent from each other (i.e. not internally connected). 
3.  DCVDD must be less than or equal to AVDD and DBVDD. 
4.  AVDD must be less than or equal to SPKVDD1 and SPKVDD2. 
5.  SPKVDD1 and SPKVDD2 must be high enough to support the peak output voltage when using DCGAIN and ACGAIN
