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.

20Hz to 20kHz bandwidth.  
3. 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.  
4. VMID decoupled with 10uF and 0.1uF capacitors (smaller values may result in reduced performance).  
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) - DR 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. 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.

1. TA = +25oC. fs = 48kHz, XTI/MCLK = 256fs (12.288MHz).  
2. The data presented here was measured with the audio interface in master mode whenever the internal clock oscillator  
was used, and in slave mode whenever an external clock was used (i.e. MS = 1 when OSCPD = 0 and vice versa).  
However, it is also possible to use the WM8731 with MS = OSCPD = 0 or MS = OSCPD = 1.  
3. All figures are quiescent, with no signal.  
4. The power dissipation in the headphone itself not included in the above table.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION  
INTRODUCTION  
The WM8731/L is a low power audio CODEC designed specifically for portable audio products. It’s  
features, performance and low power consumption make it ideal for portable MP3 players and  
portable mini-disc players.  
The CODEC includes line and microphone inputs to the on-board ADC, line and headphone outputs  
from the on-board DAC, a crystal oscillator, configurable digital audio interface and a choice of 2 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 CODEC includes three low noise inputs - mono microphone and stereo line. Line inputs have  
+12dB to -34dB logarithmic volume level adjustments and mute. The Microphone input has -6dB to  
34dB volume level adjustment. An electret microphone bias level is also available. All the required  
input filtering is contained within the device with no external components required.  
The on-board stereo analogue to digital converter (ADC) is of a high quality using a multi-bit high-  
order oversampling architecture delivering optimum performance with low power consumption. The  
output from the ADC is available on the digital audio interface. The ADC includes an optional digital  
high pass filter to remove unwanted dc components from the audio signal.  
The on-board digital to analogue converter (DAC) accepts digital audio from the digital audio  
interface. Digital filter de-emphasis at 32kHz, 44.1kHz and 48kHz can be applied to the digital data  
under software control. The DAC employs a high quality multi-bit high-order oversampling architecture  
to again deliver optimum performance with low power consumption.  
The DAC outputs, Microphone (SIDETONE) and Line Inputs (BYPASS) are available both at line level  
and through a headphone amplifier capable of efficiently driving low impedance headphones. The  
headphone output volume is adjustable in the analogue domain over a range of +6dB to –73dB and  
can be muted.  
The design of the WM8731/L has given much attention to power consumption without compromising  
performance. It includes the ability to power off selective parts of the circuitry under software control,  
thus conserving power. Nine separate power save modes be configured under software control  
including a standby and power off mode.  
Special techniques allow the audio to be muted and the device safely placed into standby, sections of  
the device powered off and volume levels adjusted without any audible clicks, pops or zipper noises.  
Therefore standby and power off modes maybe used dynamically under software control, whenever  
recording or playing is not required.  
The device caters for a number of different sampling rates including industry standard 8kHz, 32kHz,  
44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz. Additionally, the device has an ADC and DAC that can operate  
at different sample rates.  
There are two unique schemes featured within the programmable sample rates of the WM8731/L:  
Normal industry standard 256/384fs sampling mode may be used, with the added ability to mix  
different sampling rates. Also a special USB mode is included, whereby all audio sampling rates can  
be generated from a 12.00MHZ USB clock. Thus, for example, the ADC can record to the DSP at  
44.1kHz and be played back from the CODEC at 8kHz with no external digital signal processing  
required. The digital filters used at for both record and playback are optimised for each sampling rate  
used.  
The digitised output is available in a number of audio data formats I2S, DSP Mode (a burst mode in  
which frame sync plus 2 data packed words are transmitted), MSB-First, left justified and MSB-First,  
right justified. The digital audio interface can operate in both master or slave modes.  
The software control uses either 2 or 3-wire MPU interface.  
A crystal oscillator is included on board the device. The device can generate the system master clock  
or alternatively it can accept an external master clock from the audio system.

AUDIO SIGNAL PATH  
LINE INPUTS  
The WM8731/L provides Left and Right channel line inputs (RLINEIN and LLINEIN). The inputs are  
high impedance and low capacitance, thus ideally suited to receiving line level signals from external  
hi-fi or audio equipment.  
Both line inputs include independent programmable volume level adjustments and ADC input mute.  
The scheme is illustrated in Figure 10. Passive RF and active Anti-Alias filters are also incorporated  
within the line inputs. These prevent high frequencies aliasing into the audio band or otherwise  
degrading performance.

Production Data  
The gain between the line inputs and the ADC is logarithmically adjustable from +12dB to –34.5dB in  
1.5dB steps under software control. The ADC Full Scale input is 1.0V rms at AVDD = 3.3 volts. Any  
voltage greater than full scale will possibly overload the ADC and cause distortion. Note that the full  
scale input tracks directly with AVDD. The gain is independently adjustable on both Right and Left  
Line Inputs. However, by setting the INBOTH bit whilst programming the volume control, both  
channels are simultaneously updated with the same value. Use of INBOTH reduces the required  
number of software writes required. The line inputs to the ADC can be muted in the analogue domain  
under software control. The software control registers are shown Table 3. Note that the Line Input  
Mute only mutes the input to the ADC, this will still allow the Line Input signal to pass to the line  
output in Bypass Mode.

Table 3 Line Input Software Control  
The line inputs are biased internally through the operational amplifier to VMID. Whenever the line  
inputs are muted or the device placed into standby mode, the line inputs are kept biased to VMID  
using special anti-thump circuitry. This reduces any audible clicks that may otherwise be heard when  
re-activating the inputs.  
The external components required to complete the line input application is shown in the Figure 11.

For interfacing to a typical CD system, it is recommended that the input is scaled to ensure that there  
is no clipping of the signal. R1 = 5.6k, R2 = 5.6k, C1 = 220pF, C2 = 1F.  
R1 and R2 form a resistive divider to attenuate the 2 Vrms output from a CD player to a 1 Vrms level,  
so avoiding overloading the inputs. R2 also provides a discharge path for C2, thus preventing the  
input to C2 charging to an excessive voltage which may otherwise damage any equipment connected  
that is not suitably protected against high voltages. C1 forms an RF low pass filter for increasing the  
rejection of RF interference picked up on any cables. C2 forms a DC blocking capacitor to remove the  
DC path between the WM8731/L and the driving audio equipment. C2 together with the input  
impedance of the WM8731/L form a high pass filter.  
MICROPHONE INPUT  
MICIN is a high impedance, low capacitance input suitable for connection to a wide range of  
monophonic microphones of different dynamics and sensitivities.  
The MICIN includes programmable volume adjustments and a mute function. The scheme is shown in  
Figure 12. Passive RF and active Anti-Alias filters are also incorporated within the microphone  
inputs. These allow a matched interface to the multi-bit oversampling ADC and preventing high  
frequencies aliasing into the audio band or otherwise degrading performance.

Figure 12 Microphone Input Schematic  
There are 2 stages of gain made up of two low noise inverting operational amplifiers.  
The 1st stage comprises a nominal gain of G1 = 50k/10k = 5. By adding an external resistor (Rmic) in  
series with MICIN the gain of stage can be adjusted. For example adding Rmic = 40K sets the gain of  
stage 1 to x1 (0dB). The equation below can be used to calculate the gain versus Rmic.

WM8731 / WM8731L  
Production Data  
G1 = 50k/ (Rmic + 10k)  
Or alternatively to calculate the value of Rmic to achieve a given gain, G1.  
Rmic = (50k/G1) – 10k  
The internal 50k and 10k resistors have a tolerance of 15%. For Rmicext = 90k G = 0.5 (-6dB) and for  
Rmicext = 0 G = x10 (14dB).  
The 2nd stage comprises a 0dB gain stage that can be software configured to provide a fixed 20dB of  
gain for low sensitivity microphones.  
The microphone input can therefore be configured with a variable gain of between -6dB and 14dB on  
the 1st stage, and an additional fixed 0dB or 20dB on the 2nd stage. This allows for all gains to the  
input signal in the range –6dB to 34dB to be catered for.  
The ADC Full Scale input is 1.0V rms at AVDD = 3.3 volts. Any voltage greater than full scale will  
possibly overload the ADC and cause distortion. Note that the full scale input tracks directly with  
AVDD. Stage 1 and Stage 2 gains should be configured so that the ADC receives a maximum signal  
equal to its full scale for maximising the signal to noise.  
The software control for the MICIN is shown in Table 4. Note that the Microphone Mute only mutes  
the input to the ADC, this will still allow the Microphone Input signal to pass to the line output in  
Sidetone Mode.

R1 and R2 form part of the biasing network (refer to Microphone Bias section below). 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 input impedance of MICIN 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.  
MICROPHONE BIAS  
The MICBIAS output provides a low noise reference voltage suitable for biasing electret type  
microphones and the associated external resistor biasing network. Refer to the Microphone Input  
section for an application drawing and further description.  
The scheme for MICBIAS is shown in Figure 14. Note that there is a maximum source current  
capability of 3mA available for the MICBIAS. This limits the smallest value of external biasing  
resistors that can safely be used.  
Note that the MICBIAS output is not active in standby mode.

LINE OUTPUTS  
The WM8731/L provides two low impedance line outputs LLINEOUT and RLINEOUT, suitable for  
driving typical line loads of impedance 10K and capacitance 50pF. The line output is used to  
selectively sum the outputs from the DAC or/and the Line inputs in bypass mode.  
The LLINEOUT and RLINEOUT outputs are only available at a line output level and are not level  
adjustable in the analogue domain, having a fixed gain of 0dB. The level is fixed such that at the DAC  
full scale level the output level is 1.0Vrms at AVDD = 3.3 volts. Note that the DAC full scale level  
tracks directly with AVDD. The scheme is shown in Figure 19. The line output includes a low order  
audio low pass filter for removing out-of band components from the sigma-delta DAC. Therefore no  
further external filtering is required in most applications.

The DAC output, Line Input and microphone are summed into the Line Output. In DAC mode only the

Line Outputs. In Side Tone mode the Microphone Input is summed into the Line Output. These  
features can be used for either over-dubbing or, if the DAC is muted, as a pure analogue bypass or  
Side Tone feature, so avoiding any digital signal processing.  
The line output is muted by either muting the DAC (analogue) or Soft Muting (digital) and disabling  
the BYPASS and SIDETONE paths. Refer to the DAC section for more details. Whenever the DAC is  
muted or the device placed into standby mode the DC voltage is maintained at the line outputs to  
prevent any audible clicks from being present.

LHPOUT and RHPOUT volumes can be independently adjusted under software control using the  
LHPVOL[6:0] and RHPVOL[6:0] bits respectively of the headphone output control registers. The  
adjustment is logarithmic with an 80dB range in 1dB steps from +6dB to –73dB.  
The headphone outputs can be separately muted by writing codes less than 0110000 to LHPVOL[6:0]  
or RHPVO[6:0]L bits. Whenever the headphone outputs are muted or the device placed into standby  
mode, the DC voltage is maintained at the line outputs to prevent any audible clicks from being  
present.  
A zero cross detect circuit is provided at the input to the headphones under the control of the LZCEN  
and RZCEN bits of the headphone output control register. Using these controls the volume control  
values are only updated when the input signal to the gain stage is close to the analogue ground level.  
This minimises and audible clicks and zipper noise as the gain values are changed or the device  
muted. Note that this circuit has no time out so if only DC levels are being applied to the gain stage  
input of more than approximately 20mV, then the gain will not be updated. This zero cross function is  
enabled when the LZCEN and RZCEN bit is set high during a volume register write. If there is  
concern that a DC level may have blocked a volume change (one made with LZCEN or RZCEN set  
high) then a subsequent volume write of the same value, but with the LZCEN or RZCEN bit set low  
will force a volume update, regardless of the DC level.  
LHPOUT and RHPOUT volume and zero-cross setting can be changed independently. Alternatively,  
the user can lock the two channels together, allowing both to be updated simultaneously, halving the  
number of serial writes required, provided that the same gain is needed for both channels. This is  
achieved through writing to the HPBOTH bit of the control register. Setting LRHPBOTH whilst writing  
to LHPVOL and LZCEN will simultaneously update the Right Headphone controls similarly. The  
corresponding effect on updating RLHPBOTH is also achieved.

The bypass mode is selected under software control using the BYPASS microphone bit as shown in  
Table 10. In true bypass mode, the output from the DAC (DACSEL) and (SIDETONE) should be de-  
selected from the line output block. However this can also be used to sum the DAC output, Line  
Inputs together and microphone inputs. The analogue line input and headphone output volume  
controls and mutes are still operational in bypass mode. The 0dB gain setting is recommended for the  
Line Input volume control to avoid distortion. The maximum signal at any point in the bypass path  
must be no greater than 1.0V rms at AVDD = 3.3V, to avoid distortion. This amplitude tracks linearly  
with AVDD. This means that if the DAC is producing a 1Vrms signal, and it is being summed with  
1Vrms line BYPASS signal, the resulting LINEOP signal will be clipped.

DEVICE OPERATION  
DEVICE RESETTING  
The WM8731/L contains a power on reset circuit that resets the internal state of the device to a  
known condition. The power on reset is applied as DCVDD powers on and released only after the  
voltage level of DCVDD crosses a minimum turn off threshold. If DCVDD later falls below a minimum  
turn on threshold voltage then the power on reset is re-applied. The threshold voltages and  
associated hysteresis are shown in the Electrical Characteristics table.  
The user also has the ability to reset the device to a known state under software control as shown in  
the table below.

ACK signal (approximately 1 SCLK period, refer to Figure 34).  
CLOCKING SCHEMES  
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. To allow WM8731/L to be used in a centrally clocked system, the WM8731/L is capable  
of either generating this system clock itself or receiving it from an external source as will be  
discussed.  
For applications where it is desirable that the WM8731/L is the system clock source, then clock  
generation is achieved through the use of a suitable crystal connected between the XTI/MCLK input  
and XTO output pins (see CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR section).  
For applications where a component other than the WM8731/L will generate the reference clock, the  
external system can be applied directly through the XTI/MCLK input pin with no software configuration  
necessary. Note that in this situation, the oscillator circuit of the WM8731/L can be safely powered  
down to conserve power (see POWER DOWN section).  
CORE CLOCK  
The WM8731/L DSP core can be clocked either by MCLK or MCLK divided by 2. This is controlled by  
software as shown in Table 13 below.

CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR  
The WM8731/L includes a crystal oscillator circuit that allows the audio system’s reference clock to be  
generated on the device. This is available to the rest of the audio system in buffered form on  
CLKOUT. The crystal oscillator is a low radiation type, designed for low EMI. A typical application  
circuit is shown in Figure 25.

Figure 25 Crystal Oscillator Application Circuit  
The WM8731/L crystal oscillator provides an extremely low jitter clock source. Low jitter clocks are a  
requirement for high quality audio ADC and DACs, regardless of the converter architecture. The  
WM8731/L architecture is less susceptible than most converter techniques but still requires clocks  
with less than approximately 1ns of jitter to maintain performance. In applications where there is more  
than one source for the master clock, it is recommended that the clock is generated by the WM8731/L  
to minimise such problems.  
CLOCKOUT  
The Core Clock is internally buffered and made available externally to the audio system on the  
CLKOUT output pin. CLKOUT provides a replication of the Core Clock, but buffered as suitable for  
driving external loads.  
There is no phase inversion between XTI/MCLK, the Core Clock and CLOCKOUT but there will  
inevitably be some delay. The delay will be dependent on the load that CLOCKOUT drives. Refer to  
Electrical Characteristics.  
CLKOUT can also be divided by 2 under software control, refer to Table 14. Note that if CLKOUT is  
not required then the CLKOUT buffer on the WM8731/L can be safely powered down to conserve  
power (see POWER DOWN section). If the system architect has the choice between using FCLKOUT  
=
FMCLK or FCLKOUT = FMCLK/2 in the interface, the latter is recommended to conserve power. When the  
divide by two is selected CLKOUT changes on the rising edge of MCLK. Please refer to Electrical  
Characteristics for timing information.

DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACES  
WM8731/L may be operated in either one of the 4 offered audio interface modes. These are:  
Right justified  
Left justified  
I2S  
DSP mode  
All four of these modes are MSB first and operate with data 16 to 32 bits.  
Note that 32 bit data is not supported in right justified mode.  
The digital audio interface takes the data from the internal ADC digital filter and places it on the  
ADCDAT output. 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 controls  
whether Left or Right channel data is present on the ADCDAT lines. ADCDAT and ADCLRC are  
synchronous with the BCLK signal with each data bit transition signified by a BCLK high to low  
transition. BCLK maybe an input or an output dependent on whether the device is in master or slave  
mode. Refer to the MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION section  
The digital audio interface also receives the digital audio data for the internal DAC digital filters on the  
DACDAT input. DACDAT is the formatted digital audio data stream output to the DAC digital filters  
with left and right channels multiplexed together. DACLRC is an alignment clock that controls whether  
Left or Right channel data is present on DACDAT. DACDAT and DACLRC are synchronous with the  
BCLK signal with each data bit transition signified by a BCLK high to low transition. DACDAT is  
always an input. BCLK and DACLRC are either outputs or inputs depending whether the device is in  
master or slave mode. Refer to the MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION section  
There are four digital audio interface formats accommodated by the WM8731/L. These are shown in  
the figures below. Refer to the Electrical Characteristic section for timing information.

In DSP/PCM mode, the left channel MSB is available on either the 1st (mode B) or 2nd (mode A) rising  
edge of BCLK (selectable by LRP) following a rising edge of LRC. Right channel data immediately  
follows left channel data. Depending on word length, BCLK frequency and sample rate, there may be  
unused BCLK cycles between the LSB of the right channel data and the next sample.

Figure 30 DSP/PCM Mode Audio Interface (mode B, LRP=0)  
In all modes DACLRC and ADCLRC must always change on the falling edge of BCLK, refer to Figure  
26, Figure 27, Figure 28, Figure 29 and Figure 30.  
Operating the digital audio interface in DSP mode allows ease of use for supporting the various  
sample rates and word lengths. The only requirement is that all data is transferred within the correct  
number of BCLK cycles to suit the chosen word length.  
In order for the digital audio interface to offer similar support in the three other modes (Left Justified,  
I2S and Right Justified), the DACLRC, ADCLRC and BCLK frequencies, continuity and mark-space  
ratios need more careful consideration.  
In Slave mode, DACLRC and ADCLRC inputs are not required to have a 50:50 mark-space ratio.  
BCLK input need not be continuous. It is however required that there are sufficient BCLK cycles for  
each DACLRC/ADCLRC transition to clock the chosen data word length. The non-50:50 requirement  
on the LRCs is of use in some situations such as with a USB 12MHZ clock. Here simply dividing  
down a 12MHz clock within the DSP to generate LRCs and BCLK will not generate the appropriate  
DACLRC or ADCLRC since they will no longer change on the falling edge of BCLK. For example,  
with 12MHz/32k fs mode there are 375 MCLK per LRC. In these situations DACLRC/ADCLRC can be  
made non 50:50.  
In Master mode, DACLRC and ADCLRC will be output with a 50:50 mark-space ratio with BCLK  
output at 64 x base frequency (i.e. 48 kHz).. The exception again is in USB mode where BCLK is  
always 12MHz. So for example in 12MHz/32k fs mode there are 375 master clocks per DACLRC  
period. Therefore DACLRC and ADCLRC outputs will have a mark space ratio of 187:188.  
The ADC and DAC digital audio interface modes are software configurable as indicated in Table 14.  
Note that dynamically changing the software format may result in erroneous operation of the  
interfaces and is therefore not recommended.  
The length of the digital audio data is programmable at 16/20/24 or 32 bits, in I2S or left justified  
modes only. Refer to the software control table below. The data is signed 2’s complement. Both ADC  
and DAC are fixed at the same data length. The ADC and DAC digital filters process data using 24  
bits. If the ADC is programmed to output 16 or 20 bit data then it strips the LSBs from the 24 bit data.  
If the ADC is programmed to output 32 bits then it packs the LSBs with zeros. If the DAC is  
programmed to receive 16 or 20 bit data, the WM8731/L packs the LSBs with zeros. If the DAC is  
programmed to receive 32 bit data, then it strips the LSBs.  
The DAC outputs can be swapped under software control using LRP and LRSWAP as shown in Table  
15. Stereo samples are normally generated as a Left/Right sampled pair. LRSWAP reverses the  
order so that a Left sample goes to the right DAC output and a Right sample goes to the left DAC  
output. LRP swaps the phasing so that a Right/Left sampled pair is expected and preserves the  
correct channel phase difference.  
To accommodate system timing requirements the interpretation of BCLK maybe inverted, this is  
controlled vias the software shown in Table 15. This is especially appropriate for DSP mode.

ADCDAT lines are always outputs. They power up and return from standby low.  
DACDAT is always an input. It is expected to be set low by the audio interface controller when the

ADCLRC, DACLRC and BCLK can be either outputs or inputs depending on whether the device is  
configured as a master or slave. If the device is a master then the DACLRC and BCLK signals are  
outputs that default low. If the device is a slave then the DACLRC and BCLK are inputs. It is expected  
that these are set low by the audio interface controller when the WM8731/L is powered off or in

WM8731 / WM8731L  
Production Data  
AUDIO DATA SAMPLING RATES  
The WM8731/L provides for two modes of operation (normal and USB) to generate the required DAC  
and ADC sampling rates. Normal and USB modes are programmed under software control according  
to the table below.  
In Normal mode, the user controls the sample rate by using an appropriate MCLK or crystal frequency  
and the sample rate control register setting. The WM8731/L can support sample rates from 8ks/s up  
to 96ks/s.  
In USB mode, the user must use a fixed MLCK or crystal frequency of 12MHz to generate sample  
rates from 8ks/s to 96ks/s. It is called USB mode since the common USB (Universal Serial Bus) clock  
is at 12MHz and the WM8731/L can be directly used within such systems. WM8731/L can generate  
all the normal audio sample rates from this one Master Clock frequency, removing the need for  
different master clocks or PLL circuits.  
Uniquely, the WM8731/L offers the user the ability to sample the ADC and DAC at different rates  
under software control in both Normal and USB modes. This reduces the burden on any controlling  
DSP. However, the signal processing in the ADC and DAC over-sampling filters is tightly coupled  
together in order to minimise power consumption. To this end, only the combinations of sample rates  
listed in the following sections are supported. Note that these rates supported are anticipated to be  
the likely combinations used in typical audio systems.

NORMAL MODE SAMPLE RATES  
In normal mode MCLK/crystal oscillator is set up according to the desired sample rates of the ADC  
and DAC. For ADC or DAC sampling rates of 8, 32, 48 or 96kHz, MCLK frequencies of either  
12.288MHz (256fs) or 18.432MHz (384fs) can be used. For ADC or DAC sampling rates of 8, 44.1 or  
88.2kHz from MCLK frequencies of either 11.2896MHz (256fs) or 16.9344MHz (384fs) can be used.  
Table 18 should be used to set up the device to work with the various sample rate combinations. For  
example if the user wishes to use the WM8731/L in normal mode with the ADC and DAC sample

Table 18 Normal Mode Sample Rate Look-up Table  
Notes:  
1. 8k not exact, actual = 8.018kHz  
2. All other combinations of BOSR and SR[3:0] that are not in the truth table are invalid  
The BOSR bit represents the base over-sampling rate. This is the rate that the WM8731/L digital  
signal processing is carried out at. In Normal mode, with BOSR = 0, the base over-sampling rate is at  
256fs, with BOSR = 1, the base over-sampling rate is at 384fs. This can be used to determine the  
actual audio data rate produced by the ADC and required by the DAC.  
Example scenarios are:  
1. with a requirement that the ADC data rate is 8kHz and DAC data rate is 48kHz, then choosing  
MCLK = 12.288MHz the device is programmed with BOSR = 0 (256fs), SR3 = 0, SR2 = 0, SR1  
= 1, SR0 = 0.The ADC output data rate will then be exactly 8kHz (derived from 12.288MHz/256  
x1/6) and the DAC expects data at exactly 48kHz (derived from 12.288MHz/256)  
2. with a requirement that ADC data rate is 8kHz and DAC data rate is 44.1kHz, then choosing  
MCLK = 16.9344MHz the device is programmed with BOSR = 1 (384fs), SR3 = 1, SR2 = 0, SR1  
= 1, SR0 = 0. The ADC will no longer output data at exactly 8.000kHz, instead it will be 8.018kHz  
(derived from 16.9344MHz/384 x 2/11), the DAC still is at exactly 44.1kHz (derived from  
16.9344MHz/384). A slight (sub 0.5%) pitch shift will therefore result in the 8kHz audio data and  
(importantly) the user must ensure that the data across the digital interface is correctly  
synchronised at the 8.018kHz rate.

512 fs and 768 fs MCLK rates can be accommodated by using the CLKIDIV2 bit (Register 8, bit 6).  
The core clock to the DSP will be divided by 2 so an external 512/768 fs MCLK will become 256/384  
fs internally and the device otherwise operates as in Table 18 but with MCLK at twice the specified  
rate. See Table 17 for software control.

4. All other combinations of BOSR and SR[3:0] that are not in the truth table are invalid  
The table above can be used to set up the device to work with various sample rate combinations. For  
example if the user wishes to use the WM8731/L in USB mode with the ADC and DAC sample rates  
at 48kHz and 48kHz respectively then the device should be programmed with BOSR = 0, SR3 = 0,  
SR2 = 0, SR1 = 0 and SR0 = 0. The ADC and DAC will then operate with a Digital Filter of type 0,  
refer to Digital Filter Characteristics section for an explanation of the different filter types.  
The BOSR bit represents the base over-sampling rate. This is the rate that the WM8731/L digital  
signal processing is carried out at and the sampling rate will always be a sub-multiple of this. In USB  
mode, with BOSR = 0, the base over-sampling rate is defined at 250fs, with BOSR = 1, the base over-  
sampling rate is defined at 272fs. This can be used to determine the actual audio sampling rate  
produced by the ADC and required by the DAC.  
Example scenarios are, :-  
1. with a requirement that the ADC data sampling rate is 8kHz and DAC data sampling rate is  
48kHz the device is programmed with BOSR = 0 (250fs), SR3 = 0, SR2 = 0, SR1 = 1, SR0 =  
0.The ADC will then be exactly 8kHz ( derived from 12MHz/250 x 1/6 ) and the DAC expects  
data at exactly 48kHz ( derived from 12MHz/250 ).  
2. with a requirement that ADC data rate is 8kHz and DAC data rate is 44.1kHz the device is  
programmed with BOSR = 1 (272fs), SR3 = 1, SR2 = 0, SR1 = 1, SR0 = 0. The ADC will not  
output data at exactly 8kHz, instead it will be 8.021kHz ( derived from 12MHz/272 x 2/11 ) and  
the DAC at 44.118kHz ( derived from 12MHz/272 ). A slight (sub 0.5%) pitch shift will therefore  
results in the 8kHz and 44.1kHz audio data and (more importantly) the user must ensure that  
the data across the digital interface is correctly synchronised at the 8.021kHz and 44.117kHz  
rates.

SOFTWARE CONTROL INTERFACE  
The software control interface may be operated using either a 3-wire (SPI-compatible) or 2-wire MPU  
interface. Selection of interface format is achieved by setting the state of the MODE pin.  
In 3-wire mode, SDIN is used for the program data, SCLK is used to clock in the program data and  
CSB is used to latch in the program data. In 2-wire mode, SDIN is used for serial data and SCLK is  
used for the serial clock. In 2-wire mode, the state of CSB pin allows the user to select one of two  
addresses.  
SELECTION OF SERIAL CONTROL MODE  
The serial control interface may be selected to operate in either 2 or 3-wire modes. This is achieved  
by setting the state of the MODE pin.

Table 25 2-Wire MPU Interface Address Selection  
To control the WM8731/L on the 2-wire bus the master control device must initiate a data transfer by  
establishing a start condition, defined by a high to low transition on SDIN while SCLK remains high.  
This indicates that an address and data transfer will follow. All peripherals on the 2-wire bus respond  
to the start condition and shift in the next eight bits (7-bit address + R/W bit). The transfer is MSB  
first. The 7-bit address consists of a 6-bit base address + a single programmable bit to select one of  
two available addresses for this device (see Table 24). If the correct address is received and the R/W  
bit is ‘0’, indicating a write, then the WM8731/L will respond by pulling SDIN low on the next clock  
pulse (ACK). The WM8731/L is a write only device and will only respond to the R/W bit indicating a  
write. If the address is not recognised the device will return to the idle condition and wait for a new  
start condition and valid address.  
PD, Rev 4.9, October 2012  
46  
w
WM8731 / WM8731L  
Production Data  
Once the WM8731/L has acknowledged a correct address, the controller will send eight data bits (bits  
B15-B8). WM8731/L will then acknowledge the sent data by pulling SDIN low for one clock pulse.  
The controller will then send the remaining eight data bits (bits B7-B0) and the WM8731/L will then  
acknowledge again by pulling SDIN low.  
A stop condition is defined when there is a low to high transition on SDIN while SCLK is high. If a start  
or stop condition is detected out of sequence at any point in the data transfer then the device will  
jump to the idle condition.  
After receiving a complete address and data sequence the WM8731/L returns to the idle state and  
waits for another start condition. Each write to a register requires the complete sequence of start  
condition, device address and R/W bit followed by the 16 register address and data bits.  
POWER DOWN MODES  
The WM8731/L contains power conservation modes in which various circuit blocks may be safely  
powered down in order to conserve power. This is software programmable as shown in the table

mode, e.g.: during playback or record. Please follow the special instructions below if dynamic  
implementations are being used.  
LINEINPD: Simultaneously powers down both the Line Inputs. This can be done dynamically without  
any audible effects either on the ADC or to the Line Outputs in Bypass mode. This is of use when the  
device enters Playback, Pause or Stop modes or the Microphone input has been selected.

WM8731 / WM8731L

MICPD: Simultaneously powers down both the Microphone Input and Microphone Bias. If this is done  
dynamically, audible pops through the ADC will result. This will only be audible if the Microphone  
Input is selected to the ADC at the time. If the state of MICPD is changed then the controlling DSP or  
microprocessor should switch to select the Line Inputs as input to the ADC (INSEL) before changing  
MICPD. This is of use when the device enters Playback, Pause or Stop modes or the Microphone  
Input is not selected.  
ADCPD: Powers down the ADC and ADC Filters. If this is done dynamically then audible pops will  
result if any signals were present through the ADC. To overcome this whenever the ADC is to be  
powered down, either mute the Microphone Input (MUTEIN) or MUTELINEIN, then change ADCPD.  
This is of use when the device enters Playback, Pause or Stop modes regardless of whether  
Microphone or Line Inputs are selected.  
DACPD: Powers down the DAC and DAC Digital Filters. If this is done dynamically then audible pops  
will result unless the following guidelines are followed. In order to prevent pops, the DAC should first  
be soft-muted (DACMU), the output should then be de-selected from the line and headphone output  
(DACSEL), then the DAC powered down (DACPD). This is of use when the device enters Record,  
Pause, Stop or Bypass modes.  
OUTPD: Powers down the Line and Headphone outputs. If this is done dynamically then audible pops  
may result unless the DAC is first soft-muted (DACMU). This is of use when the device enters  
Record, Pause or Stop modes.  
OSCPD: Powers off the on board crystal oscillator. The MCLK input will function independently of the  
Oscillator being powered down.  
CLKOUTPD: Powers down the CLOCKOUT pin. This conserves power, reduces digital noise and RF  
emissions if not required. CLKOUT is tied low when powered down.  
The device can be put into a standby mode (STANDBY) by powering down all the audio circuitry  
under software control as shown in Table 27. If the crystal oscillator and/or CLOKOUT pins are being  
used to derive the system master clock, these should probably never be powered off in standby.  
Provision has been made to independently power off these areas according to Table 27.

MINIMISING POP NOISE AT THE ANALOGUE OUTPUTS  
To minimise any pop or click noise when the system is powered up or down, the following procedures  
are recommended.  
POWER UP SEQUENCE  
Switch on power supplies. By default the WM8731 is in Standby Mode, the DAC is  
digitally muted and the Audio Interface and Outputs are all OFF.  
Set all required bits in the Power Down register (0Ch) to ‘0’; EXCEPT the OUTPD bit,  
this should be set to ‘1’ (Default).  
Set required values in all other registers except 12h (Active).  
Set the ‘Active’ bit in register 12h.  
The last write of the sequence should be setting OUTPD to ‘0’ (active) in register  
0Ch, enabling the DAC signal path, free of any significant power-up noise.  
POWER DOWN SEQUENCE  
Set the OUTPD bit to ‘1’ (power down).  
Remove the WM8731 supplies.
