(no auto-zero or auto-mute function is employed in achieving these results). 2. dynamic range (db) - dr measures the ratio in the adc output between the full-scale signal power and all power contributed by noise and spurious tones in the specified bandwidth. normally thd+n is measured at 60db below full scale (to reduce any distortion components to negligible levels) and the measurement is then corrected by adding the 60db to its magnitude. (e.g. thd+n @ -60db= -32db, dr= 60 + |-32| = 92db). 3. total harmonic distortion and noise (db) - thd+n is a ratio of the rms values of (noise + distortion) and signal. 4. channel separation (db) - also known as cross-talk. this is a measure of the amount one channel is isolated from the other. normally measured by sending a full scale signal down one channel and measuring how much of this signal appears at the output of the other channel. 5. hold time is the length of time between a signal detected by the alc as being too quiet and beginning to ramp up the gain. it does not apply to ramping down the gain when the signal is too loud, which happens without a delay. 6. ramp-up and ramp-down times are defined as the time it takes for the pga to sweep across 90% of its gain range. 7. all hold, ramp-up and ramp-down times scale proportionally with mclk notes 1. all performance measurements are done with a 20khz low pass filter, and where noted an a-weight filter. failure to use such a filter will result in higher thd+n and lower snr and dynamic range readings than are found in the electrical characteristics. the low pass filter removes out of band noise; although this is not audible, it may affect dynamic specification values. 2. vmid and vref are each to be decoupled to a clean analogue ground with 10uf and 0.1uf capacitors placed as close to the device package as possible. smaller capacitors may reduce performance. vrefp should be connected to vref and vrefn should be connected to agnd using short pcb traces. it is not recommended to connect other components to vmid or vref in case of noise injection to the internal references of the device.
preliminary technical data WM8737l w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 9 power consumption the power consumption of the WM8737l depends on the following factors. ? supply voltages: reducing the supply voltages also reduces supply currents, and therefore results in significant power savings (at the cost of reduced maximum snr and thd performance). ? operating mode: power consumption is lower when microphone pre-amps are not used. it can be also reduced in mono or analogue mix-to-mono modes by switching off unused pgas and adcs via the power management register. typ. supply currents (milliamps) total power (mw) mode description power management register setting i avdd i dbvdd i dcvdd mvdd = 1.8v, avdd = 1.8v, dbvdd = 1.8v, dcvd = 1.5v, low power mode, no micbias or mic preamps off 000000000 0.000 (<0.01) 0.000 (<0.01) 0.007 (<0.01) 0.011 (<0.02) standby 110000000 0.692 (0.55) 0.004 (<0.01) 0.009 (<0.01) 1.356 mono (l/r) 111101000 / 111010100 1.978 (2.5) 0.011 1.633 6.029 stereo / digital mono mix 111111100 3.205 (4.2) 0.018 1.666 8.299 analogue mono mix (without dc monitoring via right adc) 111111000 2.543 (3.3) 0.017 1.640 6.537 analogue mono mix (with continuous dc monitoring via right adc) 111111100 3.205 (4.2) 0.018 1.670 8.306 using micbias in 0.9 x avdd mode in addition to any of the above set appropriate micbias[1:0] bits in power management register +0.255 (+0.45) - - +0.459 using microphone boost preamplifiers in addition to any of the above set appropriate mbctrl[1:0] bits in register 09h and set lmbe and/or rmbe bits in registers 02h and 03h +0.692 (+0.7) - - +1.688 mvdd = 3.3v, avdd = 3.3v, dbvdd = 3.3v, dcvdd = 1.5v, low power mode, no micbias or mic preamps off 000000000 0.000 (<0.01) 0.000 (<0.01) 0.007 (<0.01) 0.011 (<0.02) standby 110000000 1.288 (1.1) 0.007 (<0.01) 0.064 (<0.01) 0.117 mono (l/r) 111101000 / 111010100 2.993 (3.5) 0.018 1.624 12.173 stereo / digital mono mix 111111100 4.453 (5.6) 0.031 1.650 17.273 analogue mono mix (without dc monitoring via right adc) 111111000 3.684 (4.5) 0.018 1.620 14.648 analogue mono mix (with continuous dc monitoring via right adc) 111111100 4.453 (5.6) 0.031 1.660 17.288 using micbias in 0.9 x avdd mode in addition to any of the above set appropriate micbias[1:0] bits in power management register +0.47 (+0.85) - - +1.551 using microphone boost preamplifiers in addition to any of the above set appropriate mbctrl[1:0] bits in register 09h and set lmbe and/or rmbe bits in registers 02h and 03h +1.413 (+1.3) - - +4.663

WM8737l preliminary technical data w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 14 device description introduction the WM8737l is a low power analogue to digital converter (adc) designed for audio recording. its features, performance and low power consumption make it ideal for recordable cd players, mp3 players, portable md players and pdas. the device includes three stereo analogue inputs with a multiplexer to select between inputs. each input can be used as either a line level input or as a microphone input with on-chip microphone pre- amplifiers. a programmable gain amplifier provides additional gain or attenuation, and can be used for automatic level control (alc), keeping the recording volume constant. it is also possible to use the WM8737l as a mono device, or to mix the two channels to mono, either in the analogue or in the digital domain. the adc is of a high quality using a multi-bit high-order oversampling architecture delivering high snr at low power consumption. it can operate at oversampling rates of 64fs (low power mode) or 128fs (normal power mode), allowing users to design for low power consumption or high performance. the adc also includes a digital high pass filter to remove unwanted dc components from the audio signal. this filter may be turned off for dc measurements. the output from the adc is available on a configurable digital audio interface. it supports a number of audio data formats including i 2 s, dsp mode, left justified and right justified, and can operate in master or slave modes. the WM8737l master clock can be either an industry standard 256/384 f s clock or a 12mhz/24mhz usb clock. sample rates of 8khz, 11.025khz, 12khz, 16khz, 22.05khz, 24khz, 32khz, 44.1khz, 48khz, 88.2khz and 96khz can be generated directly from the master clock, without an external pll. the digital filters are optimised for each sample rate. the WM8737l can be controlled through a 2 wire or 3 wire mpu control interface. it is fully compatible and an ideal partner for a range of industry standard microprocessors, controllers and dsps. the design of the WM8737l has minimised power consumption without compromising performance. it can operate at very low voltages, can power off parts of the circuitry under software control and includes standby and power off modes. input signal path the signal path consists of a multiplexer switch to select between three sets of analogue inputs, followed by a microphone boost preamplifier with selectable gain settings of 13db, 18db, 28db and 33db. the microphone preamplifier feeds into a pga (programmable gain amplifier) via an external capacitor which removes dc offsets that could otherwise produce zipper noise when the pga gain changes. alternatively, for line input signals, the microphone preamplifier can be bypassed to reduce power consumption and noise. the pga gain can be controlled either by the user or by the on-chip alc function (see automatic level control). the output signal from each pga (left and right) enters an adc where it is digitised. the two channels can also be mixed in the analogue domain and digitised in one adc while the other adc is switched off to reduce power consumption (see ?power management? section). the mono-mix signal appears on both digital output channels. left and right channel signal inputs the WM8737l has two sets of low capacitance ac coupled analogue inputs, linput1, linput2, linput3 and rinput1, rinput2, rinput3. the linsel and rinsel control bits select between them. these inputs can be configured as microphone or line inputs by enabling or disabling the microphone preamplifier. all inputs have high impedance when the preamplifier is used and their impedance is between 1.8k ? and 50k ? (depending on pga gain) if the preamplifier is bypassed. the signal inputs are internally high-impedance biased to the reference voltage, vref. whenever line inputs are muted or the device is placed into standby mode 2 (see ?power management? section), the inputs stay biased to vref. this reduces any audible clicks that may otherwise be heard when changing inputs or awakening from standby.

preliminary technical data WM8737l w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 17 microphone bias the micbias output provides a low noise reference voltage suitable for biasing electret type microphones and the associated external resistor biasing network. the output voltage is derived from vref and is programmable in three steps from 0.75 avdd to 1.2 avdd, as shown below. supply voltage mvdd must be at least 170mv higher than the desired micbias voltage to ensure correct micbias operation. register address bit label default description r6 (06h) power management 1:0 micbias[1:0] 00 microphone bias control 00: micbias off (powered down, high-impedance output) 01: v micbias = 0.75 avdd 10: v micbias = 0.9 avdd 11: v micbias = 1.2 avdd table 6 micbias control the internal micbias circuitry is shown below. mvdd is a separate power supply pin used only for micbias and the microphone preamplifiers. when micbias < avdd, then mvdd can be tied to avdd. however, when micbias = 1.2 avdd, then mvdd must be large enough to generate this output voltage, i.e. it must be higher than avdd. note: the maximum voltage for mvdd of 3.6v must be observed. agnd micbias vref internal resistor mvdd figure 6 microphone bias schematic note that the maximum source current capability for micbias is 3ma. the external biasing resistors therefore must be large enough to limit the micbias current to 3ma. please refer to the ?applications information? section for recommended external components. pga control the left and right pgas match the input signal levels to the adc input ranges. the pga gain is logarithmically adjustable from ?97db to +30db in 0.5db steps. each pga can be controlled either by the user or by the alc function (see ?automatic level control? section). when alc is enabled for one or both channels then writing to the corresponding pga gain control register has no effect. the gain is independently adjustable on both right and left line inputs. by setting the lvu or rvu bits whilst programming the pga gain, both channels can be simultaneously updated. the inputs can also be muted under software control. the pga control register maps are shown in table 7 pga software control.

WM8737l preliminary technical data w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 20 figure 7 adc digital filter the adc digital filters contain a digital high pass filter, selectable via software control. the high-pass filter response is detailed in the ?digital filter characteristics? section. when the high-pass filter is enabled the dc offset is continuously calculated and subtracted from the input signal. by setting hpor, the last calculated d.c. offset value is maintained but still subtracted from the input. the output data format can be programmed by the user to accommodate stereo or monophonic recording on both inputs. the polarity of the output signal can also be changed under software control. the software control is shown below. register address bit label default description 0 adchpd 0 adc high pass filter enable (digital) 1: disable high pass filter 0: enable high pass filter 4 hpor 0 store dc offset 0: present offset maintained 1: continuously update offset r5 (05h) adc control 6:5 polarity 00 00: polarity not inverted 01: l polarity invert 10: r polarity invert 11: l and r polarity invert table 10 adc control 3d stereo enhancement the WM8737l has a 3d stereo enhancement function for use in applications where the natural separation between stereo channels is low. the function is activated by the 3den bit, and artificially increases the separation between the left and right channels. the 3ddepth setting controls the degree of stereo expansion. additionally, one of four filter characteristics can be selected for the 3d processing, using the 3dfilt control bits. when 3d enhancement is enabled (and/or the tone control for playback) it may be necessary to attenuate the signal by 6db to avoid limiting. this is a user selectable function, enabled by setting div2.

WM8737l preliminary technical data w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 22 hold time is the time delay between the peak level detected being below target and the pga gain beginning to ramp up. it can be programmed in power-of-two (2 n ) steps, e.g. 2.67ms, 5.33ms, 10.67ms etc. up to 43.7ms. alternatively, the hold time can also be set to zero. the hold time only applies to gain ramp-up, there is no delay before ramping the gain down when the signal level is above target. decay time (gain ramp-up) is the time that it takes for the pga gain to ramp up across 90% of its range (e.g. from ?15db up to 25.5 db). the time it takes for the recording level to return to its target value therefore depends on both the decay time and on the gain adjustment required. if the gain adjustment is small, it will be shorter than the decay time. the decay time can be programmed in power-of-two (2 n ) steps, from 33.6ms, 67.2ms, 134.4ms etc. to 34.41s. attack time (gain ramp-down) is the time that it takes for the pga gain to ramp down across 90% of its range (e.g. from 25.5db down to -15db gain). the time it takes for the recording level to return to its target value therefore depends on both the attack time and on the gain adjustment required. if the gain adjustment is small, it will be shorter than the attack time. the attack time can be programmed in power-of-two (2 n ) steps, from 8.4ms, 16.8ms, 33.6ms etc. to 8.6s. when operating in stereo, the peak detector takes the maximum of left and right channel peak values, and any new gain setting is applied to both left and right pgas, so that the stereo image is preserved. however, the alc function can also be enabled on one channel only. in this case, only one pga is controlled by the alc mechanism, while the other channel runs independently with its pga gain set through the control register. when one adc channel is unused or used for dc measurement, the peak detector disregards that channel. the alc function can operate in digital mono mix mode (monomix = 10), but not in analogue mono mix mode (monomix = 01).

(note: if atk = 0000, then the limiter makes no difference to the operation of the alc. it is designed to prevent clipping when long attack times are used.)
WM8737l preliminary technical data w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 24 noise gate when the signal is very quiet and consists mainly of noise, the alc function may cause ?noise pumping?, i.e. loud hissing noise during silence periods. the WM8737l has a noise gate function that prevents noise pumping by comparing the signal level at the linput1/2/3 and/or rinput1/2/3 pins against a noise gate threshold, ngth. the noise gate cuts in when: ? signal level at adc [db] < ngth [db] + pga gain [db] + mic preamp gain [db] this is equivalent to: ? signal level at input pin [db] < ngth [db] when the noise gate is triggered, the pga gain is held constant (preventing it from ramping up as it would normally when the signal is quiet). the table below summarises the noise gate control register. the ngth control bits set the noise gate threshold with respect to the adc full-scale range. the threshold is adjusted in 6db steps. levels at the extremes of the range may cause inappropriate operation, so care should be taken with set?up of the function. note that the noise gate only works in conjunction with the alc function, and always operates on the same channel(s) as the alc (left, right, both, or none). register address bit label default description 0 ngat 0 noise gate function enable 1 = enable 0 = disable r11 (0bh) noise gate control 4:2 ngth[2:0] 000 noise gate threshold (with respect to adc output level) 000: -78dbfs 001: -72dbfs ? 6 db steps 110: -42dbfs 111: -30dbfs table 13 noise gate control digital audio interface the digital audio interface uses three pins: ? adcdat: adc data output ? adclrc: adc data alignment clock ? bclk: bit clock, for synchronisation the digital audio interface takes the data from the internal adc digital filters and places it on adcdat and adclrc. adcdat is the formatted digital audio data stream output from the adc digital filters with left and right channels multiplexed together. adclrc is an alignment clock that indicates whether left or right channel data is present on the adcdat line. adcdat and adclrc are synchronous with the bclk signal with each data bit transition signified by a bclk high to low transition. adcdat is always an output. bclk and adclrc may be inputs or outputs depending whether the device is in master or slave mode (see master and slave mode operation, below). four different audio data formats are supported: ? left justified ? right justified ? i 2 s ? dsp mode all four of these modes are msb first. they are described in audio data formats, below. refer to the electrical characteristic section for timing information.

WM8737l preliminary technical data w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 28 master clock and audio sample rates the master clock (mclk) is used to operate the digital filters and the noise shaping circuits. the WM8737l supports a wide range of master clock frequencies, and can generate many commonly used audio sample rates directly from the master clock. there are two clocking modes: ? ?normal? mode supports master clocks of 128f s , 192f s , 256f s , 384f s , and their multiples ? usb mode supports 12mhz or 24mhz master clocks. this mode is intended for use in systems with a usb interface, and eliminates the need for an external pll to generate another clock frequency for the audio adc. register address bit label default description 6 clkdiv2 0 master clock divide by 2 1: mclk is divided by 2 0: mclk is not divided 0 usb 0 clocking mode select 1: usb mode 0: ?normal? mode 5:1 sr[4:0] 0000 sample rate control r8 (08h) clocking and sample rate control 7 auto detect 0 clock ratio autodetect (slave mode only) 0: autodetect off 1: autodetect on table 15 clocking and sample rate control the clocking of the WM8737l is controlled using the clkdiv2, usb, and sr control bits. setting the clkdiv2 bit divides mclk by two internally. the usb bit selects between ?normal? and usb mode. each combination of the sr4 to sr0 control bits selects one sample rate (see next page). the digital filter chacteristics are automatically adjusted to suit the mclk and sample rate selected (see digital filter characteristics). since all sample rates are generated by dividing mclk, their accuracy depends on the accuracy of mclk. if mclk changes, the sample rates change proportionately. note that some sample rates (e.g. 44.1khz in usb mode) are approximated, i.e. they differ from their target value by a very small amount. this is not audible, as the maximum deviation is only 0.27% (8.0214khz instead of 8khz in usb mode - for comparison, a half-tone step corresponds to a 5.9% change in pitch). in slave mode, it is possible to autodetect the audio clock rate ratio, instead of programming it. the WM8737l can autodetect the following clock ratios: ? clkdiv2 = 0: mclk = 128f s , 192f s , 256f s , or 384f s subject to mclk < 40mhz ? clkdiv2 = 1: mclk = 256f s , 384f s , 512f s , 768f s , 1024f s , 1536f s , subject to mclk < 40mhz

WM8737l preliminary technical data w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 30 control interface selection of control mode the WM8737l is controlled by writing to registers through a serial control interface. a control word consists of 16 bits. the first 7 bits (b15 to b9) are address bits that select which control register is accessed. the remaining 9 bits (b8 to b0) are register bits, corresponding to the 9 bits in each control register. the control interface can operate as either a 3-wire or 2-wire mpu interface. the mode pin selects the interface format. mode interface format low 2 wire high 3 wire table 17 control interface mode selection 3-wire serial control mode in 3-wire mode, every rising edge of sclk clocks in one data bit from the sdin pin. a rising edge on csb latches in a complete control word consisting of the last 16 bits. b15 b14 b13 b12 b11 b10 b9 b8 b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0 sdin sclk csb control register address control register data bits latch figure 15 3-wire serial control interface 2-wire serial control mode the WM8737l supports software control via a 2-wire serial bus. many devices can be controlled by the same bus, and each device can be identified by one of two 7-bit address (this is not the same as the 7-bit address of each register in the WM8737l). the WM8737l interface can be written to only and cannot be read back. the controller indicates the start of data transfer with a high to low transition on sdin while sclk remains high. this indicates that a device address and data will follow. all devices on the 2-wire bus respond to the start condition and shift in the next eight bits on sdin (7-bit address + read/write bit, msb first). if the device address received matches the address of the WM8737l and the r/w bit is ?0?, indicating a write, then the WM8737l responds by pulling sdin low on the next clock pulse (ack). if the address is not recognised or the r/w bit is ?1?, the WM8737l returns to the idle condition and wait for a new start condition and valid address. once the WM8737l has acknowledged a correct address, the controller sends the first byte of control data (b15 to b8, i.e. the WM8737l register address plus the first bit of register data). the WM8737l then acknowledges the first data byte by pulling sdin low for one clock pulse. the controller then sends the second byte of control data (b7 to b0, i.e. the remaining 8 bits of register data), and the WM8737l acknowledges again by pulling sdin low. the transfer of data is complete when there is a low to high transition on sdin while sclk is high. after receiving a complete address and data sequence the WM8737l returns to the idle state and waits for another start condition. if a start or stop condition is detected out of sequence at any point during data transfer (i.e. sdin changes while sclk is high), the device jumps to the idle condition.

preliminary technical data WM8737l w ai rev 3.0 may 2004 35 applications information line input configuration in order to avoid clipping, the user must ensure that the input signal does not exceed avdd. this may require a potential divider circuit in some applications. it is also recommended to remove rf interference picked up on any cables using a simple first-order rc filter, as high-frequency components in the input signal may otherwise cause aliasing distortion in the audio band. this filter must not have high output impedance at audio frequencies (e.g. use a lc filter) if pga gain errors are to be minimised when bypassing the microphone preamplifier. when using ac signals with no dc bias they should be coupled to the WM8737l signal inputs through a dc blocking capacitor, e.g. 470nf or 1 f when using the microphone preamplifier, and at least 10 f if directly driving the pga (bigger capacitance may be required at higher gains due to the low pga input impedance at high gain). microphone input configuration r2 47kohm c1 220pf c2 1uf agnd agnd agnd linput1/2/3 rinput1/2/3 from microphone r1 680 ohm micbias figure 25 recommended circuit for microphone input for interfacing to a microphone, the alc function should be enabled and the microphone boost switched on. microphones held close to a speaker?s mouth would normally use a lower boost setting such as 13db, while tabletop or room microphones would need a higher boost, for example 28db. the recommended application circuit is shown above. r1 and r2 form part of the biasing network (refer to microphone bias section). r1 connected to micbias is necessary only for electret type microphones that require a voltage bias. r2 should always be present to prevent the microphone input from charging to a high voltage which may damage the microphone on connection. r1 and r2 should be large so as not to attenuate the signal from the microphone, which can have source impedance greater than 2k ? . c1 together with the source impedance of the microphone and the WM8737l input impedance forms an rf filter. c2 is a dc blocking capacitor to allow the microphone to be biased at a different dc voltage to the micin signal.
