DESCRIPTION
The WM8987L is a low power, high quality stereo CODEC
designed for portable digital audio applications.
The device integrates complete interfaces to stereo or mono
microphones and a stereo BTL (differential) or single-ended
headset. External component requirements are reduced as
no separate microphone or headphone amplifiers are
required. Advanced on-chip digital signal processing
performs equalisation, 3-D sound enhancement and
automatic level control for the microphone or line input.
The WM8987L can operate as a master or a slave, with
various master clock frequencies including 12 or 24MHz for
USB devices, or standard 256f
s
rates like 12.288MHz and
24.576MHz. Different audio sample rates such as 96kHz,
48kHz, 44.1kHz are generated directly from the master
clock without the need for an external PLL.
The WM8987L operates at supply voltages down to 1.8V,
although the digital core can operate at voltages down to
1.42V to save power, and the maximum for all supplies is
3.6 Volts. Different sections of the chip can also be powered
down under software control.
The WM8987L is supplied in a very small and thin 4x4mm
COL package, ideal for use in ultra-portable and wearable
systems.
