2. All performance measurements done with 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 it is not audible it may affect dynamic
specification values.
3. VMID decoupled with 10uF and 0.1uF capacitors (smaller values may result in reduced performance).
4. All performance measurement done using certain timing conditions (please refer to section ‘Digital Audio Interface’).
5. A better MUTE Attenuation can be achieved if the ADC gain is set to minimum.

TERMINOLOGY
1. Signal-to-noise ratio (dB) - SNR is a measure of the difference in level between the full scale output and the output
with no signal applied. (No Auto-zero or Automute function is employed in achieving these results).
2. Dynamic range (dB) - DNR is a measure of the difference between the highest and lowest portions of a signal.
Normally a THD+N measurement at 60dB below full scale. The measured signal is then corrected by adding the 60dB
to it. (e.g. THD+N @ -60dB= -32dB, DR= 92dB).
3. THD+N (dB) - THD+N is a ratio, of the rms values, of (Noise + Distortion)/Signal.
4. Stop band attenuation (dB) - Is the degree to which the frequency spectrum is attenuated (outside audio band).
5. 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 the other.
6. Pass-Band Ripple - Any variation of the frequency response in the pass-band region.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION
WM8775 is a stereo audio ADC, with a flexible four input multiplexor. It is available in a single
package and controlled by either a 3-wire or a 2-wire interface.

The input multiplexor to the ADC is configured to allow large signal levels to be input to the ADC,
using external resistors to reduce the amplitude of larger signals to within the normal operating range
of the ADC. The ADC has an analogue input PGA and a digital gain control, accessed by one
register write. The input PGA allows input signals to be gained up to +24dB and attenuated down to -
21dB in 0.5dB steps. The digital gain control allows attenuation from -21.5dB to -103dB in 0.5dB
steps. This allows the user maximum flexibility in the use of the ADC.

The Audio Interface may be configured to operate in either master or slave mode. In Slave mode
ADCLRC and BCLK are all inputs. In Master mode ADCLRC and BCLK are outputs. The audio data
interface supports right, left and I2S interface formats along with a highly flexible DSP serial port
interface. Operation using system clock of 256fs, 384fs, 512fs or 768fs is provided. In Slave mode
selection between clock rates is automatically controlled. In master mode the master clock to sample
rate ratio is set by control bit ADCRATE. Master clock sample rates (fs) from less than 32kHz up to
96kHz are allowed, provided the appropriate system clock is input.

Control of internal functionality of the device is by 3-wire SPI compatible or 2-wire serial control
interface. Either interface may be asynchronous to the audio data interface as control data will be re-
synchronised to the audio processing internally. CE, CL, DI and MODE are 5V tolerant with TTL input
thresholds, allowing the WM8775 to used with DVDD = 3.3V and be controlled by a controller with 5V
output.

AUDIO DATA SAMPLING RATES


In a typical digital audio system there is only one central clock source producing a reference clock to
which all audio data processing is synchronised. This clock is often referred to as the audio system’s
Master Clock. The external master system clock can be applied directly through the MCLK input pin
with no software configuration necessary. In a system where there are a number of possible sources
for the reference clock it is recommended that the clock source with the lowest jitter be used to
optimise the performance of the ADC.

The master clock for WM8775 supports ADC audio sampling rates from 256fs to 768fs, where fs is
the audio sampling frequency (ADCLRC) typically 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz or 96kHz. The master
clock is used to operate the digital filters and the noise shaping circuits.

In Slave mode, the WM8775 has a master detection circuit that automatically determines the
relationship between the master clock frequency and the sampling rate (to within +/- 32 system
clocks). If there is a greater than 32 clocks error the interface is disabled and maintains the output
level at the last sample. The master clock must be synchronised with ADCLRC, although the
WM8775 is tolerant of phase variations or jitter on this clock. Table 6 shows the typical master clock
frequency inputs for the WM8775.

The signal processing for the WM8775 typically operates at an oversampling rate of 128fs. For ADC
operation at 96kHz, it is recommended that the user set the ADCOSR bit. This changes the ADC
signal processing oversample rate to 64fs.

In Master mode BCLK and ADCLRC are generated by the WM8775. The frequency of ADCLRC is
set by setting the required ratio of MCLK to ADCLRC using the ADCRATE control bit (Table 7).

Table 8 Master Mode ADCLRC Frequency Selection

BCLK is also generated by the WM8775. The frequency of BCLK depends on the mode of operation.
If using 256, 384, 512 or 768fs (ADCRATE=010, 011,100 or 101) BCLK = MCLK/4. However if DSP
mode is selected as the audio interface mode then BCLK=MCLK.

POWERDOWN MODES
The WM8775 has powerdown control bits allowing specific parts of the WM8775 to be powered off
when not being used. The 4-channel input source selector and input buffer may be powered down
using control bit AINPD. When AINPD is set all inputs to the source selector (AIN1l/R to AIN4L/R)
are switched to a buffered VMIDADC. Control bit ADCPD powers off the ADC and also the ADC input
PGAs. Setting AINPD and ADCPD will powerdown everything except the references VMIDADC and
ADCREFP. These may be powered down by setting PDWN. Setting PDWN will override all other
powerdown control bits. It is recommended that the 4-channel input mux and buffer AINPD and
ADCPD are powered down before setting PDWN. The default is for all powerdown bits to be 0 i.e.
enabled.

POWER-ON-RESET
The WM8775 has an internal power-on-reset circuit. The reset phase is entered at power-up of
supplies. The ADC DSP circuitry is also reset when their respective master clocks are stopped.
Register values are maintained unless either a power-on-reset occurs or a software reset is written.
A software reset will also cause a reset of the ADC DSP.

Figure 8 shows the power-on-reset logic, and Figure 9 shows the reset release characteristics.

DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE
MASTER AND SLAVE MODES
The audio interface operates in either Slave or Master mode, selectable using the MS control bit. In
both Master and Slave modes ADCDAT is always an output. The default is Slave mode.

In Slave mode (MS=0) ADCLRC and BCLK are inputs to the WM8775 (Figure 10). ADCLRC is
sampled by the WM8775 on the rising edge of BCLK. ADC data is output on DOUT and changes on
the falling edge of BCLK. By setting control bit BCLKINV the polarity of BCLK may be reversed so
that ADCLRC is sampled on the falling edge of BCLK and DOUT changes on the rising edge of
BCLK.

AUDIO INTERFACE FORMATS


Audio data output from the ADC filters, via the Digital Audio Interface. 5 popular interface formats are
supported:

• Left Justified mode

• Right Justified mode

• I2S mode

• DSP Early mode

• DSP Late mode

All 5 formats send the MSB first and support word lengths of 16, 20, 24 and 32 bits, with the
exception of 32 bit right justified mode, which is not supported.

In left justified, right justified and I2S modes, the digital audio interface outputs ADC data on DOUT.
Audio Data for each stereo channel is time multiplexed with ADCLRC indicating whether the left or
right channel is present. ADCLRC is also used as a timing reference to indicate the beginning or end
of the data words.

In left justified, right justified and I2S modes, the minimum number of BCLKs per ADCLRC period is 2
times the selected word length. ADCLRC must be high for a minimum of word length BCLKs and low
for a minimum of word length BCLKs. Any mark to space ratio on ADCLRC is acceptable provided
the above requirements are met.

In DSP early or DSP late mode, the ADC data may also be output, with ADCLRC used as a frame
sync to identify the MSB of the first word. The minimum number of BCLKs per ADCLRC period is 2
times the selected word length

LEFT JUSTIFIED MODE


In left justified mode, the MSB of the ADC data is output on DOUT and changes on the same falling
edge of BCLK as ADCLRC and may be sampled on the rising edge of BCLK. ADCLRC is high during
the left samples and low during the right samples (Figure 12).

CONTROL INTERFACE OPERATION


The WM8775 is controlled using a 3-wire serial interface in a SPI compatible configuration or
a 2-wire serial interface mode. The interface type is selected by the MODE pin as shown in
Table 9.

MODE Control Mode


0 2 wire interface
1 3 wire interface
Table 9 Control Interface Selection via MODE pin

The control interface is 5V tolerant, meaning that the control interface input signals CE, CL and DI as
well as MODE may have an input high level of 5V while DVDD is 3V. Input thresholds are determined
by DVDD.

3-WIRE (SPI COMPATIBLE) SERIAL CONTROL MODE


DI is used for the program data, CL is used to clock in the program data and CE is used to latch the
program data. DI is sampled on the rising edge of CL. The 3-wire interface protocol is shown in
Figure 17.

2-WIRE SERIAL CONTROL MODE
The WM8775 supports software control via a 2-wire serial bus. Many devices can be controlled by
the same bus, and each device has a unique 7-bit address (this is not the same as the 7-bit address
of each register in the WM8775).

The WM8775 operates as a slave device only. The controller indicates the start of data transfer with
a high to low transition on DI while CL 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 DI (7-bit address + Read/Write bit, MSB first). If the device address received matches the address
of the WM8775 and the R/W bit is ‘0’, indicating a write, then the WM8775 responds by pulling DI low
on the next clock pulse (ACK). If the address is not recognised or the R/W bit is ‘1’, the WM8775
returns to the idle condition and wait for a new start condition and valid address.

Once the WM8775 has acknowledged a correct address, the controller sends the first byte of control
data (B15 to B8, i.e. the WM8775 register address plus the first bit of register data). The WM8775
then acknowledges the first data byte by pulling DI 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 WM8775
acknowledges again by pulling DI low.

The transfer of data is complete when there is a low to high transition on DI while CL is high. After
receiving a complete address and data sequence the WM8775 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. DI changes while CL is high), the device jumps to the idle condition.

ADC GAIN CONTROL


The ADC has an analogue input PGA and digital gain control for each stereo channel. Both the
analogue and digital gains are adjusted by the same register, LAG for the left and RAG for the right.
The analogue PGA has a range of +24dB to -21dB in 0.5dB steps. The digital gain control allows
further attenuation (after the ADC) from -21.5dB to -103dB in 0.5dB steps. Table 11 shows how the
register maps the analogue and digital gains.

writes. The ADC volume and mute also applies to the bypass signal path.

In addition a zero cross detect circuit is provided for the input PGA. When ZCLA/ZCRA is set with a

LIMITER / AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)
The WM8775 has an automatic pga gain control circuit, which can function as a peak limiter or as an
automatic level control (ALC). In peak limiter mode, a digital peak detector detects when the input
signal goes above a predefined level and will ramp the pga gain down to prevent the signal becoming
too large for the input range of the ADC. When the signal returns to a level below the threshold, the
pga gain is slowly returned to its starting level. The peak limiter cannot increase the pga gain above
its static level.

In ALC mode, the circuit aims to keep a constant recording volume irrespective of the input signal
level. This is achieved by continuously adjusting the PGA gain so that the signal level at the ADC
input remains constant. A digital peak detector monitors the ADC output and changes the PGA gain
if necessary.

ALC Control 1 01 = ALC Right channel only

The limiter function only operates in stereo, which means that 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 enabled, the threshold for the limiter or target level for the ALC is programmed using the LCT
control bits. This allows the threshold/target level to be programmed between -1dB and -16dB in 1dB
steps. Note that for the ALC, target levels of -1dB and -2dB give a threshold of -3dB. This is
because the ALC can give erroneous operation if the target level is set too high.

ATTACK AND DECAY TIMES
The limiter and ALC have different attack and decay times which determine their operation. However,
the attack and decay times are defined slightly differently for the limiter and for the ALC. DCY and
ATK control the decay and attack times, respectively.

Decay time (Gain Ramp-Up). When in ALC mode, this is defined as the time that it takes for the
PGA gain to ramp up across 90% of its range (e.g. from –21dB up to +20 dB). When in limiter mode,
it is defined as the time it takes for the gain to ramp up by 6dB.

The decay time can be programmed in power-of-two (2n) steps. For the ALC this gives times from
33.6ms, 67.2ms, 134.4ms etc. to 34.41s. For the limiter this gives times from 1.2ms, 2.4ms etc., up
to 1.2288s.

Attack time (Gain Ramp-Down) When in ALC mode, this is defined as the time that it takes for the
PGA gain to ramp down across 90% of its range (e.g. from +20dB down to -21dB gain). When in
limiter mode, it is defined as the time it takes for the gain to ramp down by 6dB.

The attack time can be programmed in power-of-two (2n) steps, from 8.4ms, 16.8ms, 33.6ms etc. to
8.6s for the ALC and from 250us, 500us, etc. up to 256ms.

The time it takes for the recording level to return to its target value or static gain value therefore
depends on both the attack/decay time and on the gain adjustment required. If the gain adjustment is
small, it will be shorter than the attack/decay time.

TRANSIENT WINDOW (LIMITER ONLY)


To prevent the limiter responding to to short duration high ampitude signals (such as hand-claps in a

set in register TRANWIN.

MAXIMUM GAIN (ALC ONLY) AND MAXIMUM ATTENUATION


To prevent low level signals being amplified too much by the ALC, the MAXGAIN register sets the
upper limit for the gain. This prevents low level noise being over-amplified. The MAXGAIN register
has no effect on the limiter operation.

The MAXATTEN register has different operation for the limiter and for the ALC. For the limiter it
defines the maximum attenuation below the static (user programmed) gain. For the ALC, it defines
the lower limit for the gain.

OVERLOAD DETECTOR (ALC ONLY)


To prevent clipping when a large signal occurs just after a period of quiet, the ALC circuit includes an
overload detector. If the ADC input signal exceeds 87.5% of full scale (–1.16dB), the PGA gain is
ramped down at the maximum attack rate (as when ATK = 0000), until the signal level falls below
87.5% of full scale. This function is automatically enabled whenever the ALC is enabled.

(Note: If ATK = 0000, then the overload detector makes no difference to the operation of the ALC. It
is designed to prevent clipping when long attack times are used).

NOISE GATE (ALC ONLY)


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 WM8775 has a noise gate function that
prevents noise pumping by comparing the signal level at the AINL1/2/3/4 and/or AINR1/2/3/4 pins
against a noise gate threshold, NGTH. The noise gate cuts in when:

• Signal level at ADC [dB] < NGTH [dB] + PGA gain [dB] + Mic Boost gain [dB]
This is equivalent to:
• Signal level at input pin [dB] < NGTH [dB]

w PP Rev 1.8, June 2004

26
Product Preview WM8775
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).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

EXTERNAL CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION

In order to allow the use of 2V rms and larger inputs to the ADC inputs, a structure is used that uses
external resistors to drop these larger voltages. This also increases the robustness of the circuit to
external abuse such as ESD pulse. Figure 25 shows the ADC input multiplexor circuit with external
components allowing 2Vrms inputs to be applied.
