DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
SNR 97dB (‘A’ weighted @ 3.3V, 48kHz, normal power  
mode)  
THD –85dB (at –1dB, 3.3V, normal power mode)  
Complete Stereo / Mono Microphone Interface  
The WM8737L is a low power stereo audio ADC designed  
specifically for portable applications such as minidisc and  
memory audio / voice recorders.  
The device offers three sets of stereo inputs, which can be  
configured for line-level signals, for internal or table-top  
microphones, or for DC measurement (battery monitor). A  
programmable gain amplifier can be used for automatic  
level control (ALC) with user programmable hold, attack and  
decay times. The device also has a selectable high pass  
filter to remove residual DC offsets.

TERMINOLOGY  
1. Signal-to-noise ratio (dB) – for the microphone preamplifiers, quoted SNR is the ratio of the rms voltages of the full-  
scale output at the L/RACOUT pins and the noise observed at these pins with no input signals. This figure indicates  
only the microphone preamplifier noise and does not account for additional noise that will be added by the PGAs and  
ADCs in obtaining the final digitised result. For the line inputs, quoted SNR is the ratio of the rms code ranges as  
measured at the ADC output for a full-scale output signal and the noise observed with no input. This figure combines  
the PGA and ADC noise contributions. (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.

WM8737L  
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.

WM8737L  
Preliminary Technical Data  
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 I2S, 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 fs 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 1.8kand 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.

DC MEASUREMENT  
For dc measurements (battery voltage monitoring for example), the LINPUT1 and/or RINPUT1 pins  
can be taken directly into the respective ADC, bypassing the microphone preamplifier and PGA.  
In dc mode the ADC output is mid-scale for L/RINPUT1 voltage AGND and full-scale for L/RINPUT  
voltage 1.7 x AVDD. Note that L/RINPUT1 must not exceed AVDD and so a voltage divider will be  
required to bring the battery voltage into range.

MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFER BYPASS AND BIAS CONTROL  
When the Left or Right microphone preamplifier is disabled the user has two options for driving the  
corresponding Left or Right PGA.  
Default operation is to close a preamplifier bypass switch that connects the PGA input directly to the  
L/RINPUT1/2/3 multiplexer output.  
If the application has only a single left or right line level signal source and hence does not require the  
multiplexer or microphone preamplifier, then better PGA gain accuracy and THD+N performance are  
obtained by disabling the multiplexer and bypass switch and driving the PGA directly via the L/RACIN  
pin. The multiplexer and switch are disabled by setting to zero the appropriate L/RBYPEN bit in  
register R9. The L/RINPUT1/2/3 pads remain biased to VREF. These bits should be set to 1 if the  
multiplexer is required (always required when the microphone preamplifier is enabled).

The user can also adjust the microphone preamplifier bias settings to optimise THD+N versus supply  
current consumption for their application. Default is full bias for best THD+N performance, but the  
user can reduce the bias to 75%, 50% or 25% of default by programming MBCTRL[1:0] in register

MONO-MIXING  
The WM8737L can operate as a stereo or mono device, or the two channels can be mixed to mono  
in either the analogue domain (before the ADC) or in the digital domain (after the ADC). In all mono  
and mono-mix modes unused circuitry can be switched off to save power (see “Power Management”  
section). 3D stereo enhancement (See “3D Stereo Enhancement” section) is automatically disabled  
in all mono and mono-mix modes.  
In analogue mono-mix mode, the signals are mixed in the Left ADC and the Right ADC automatically  
switches to dc measurement mode on pin RINPUT1. If dc measurement mode is not required then  
the Right ADC can be powered down by setting bit 2 (ADCR) in the power management register R6.  
Note that the high pass filter must be disabled if d.c. measurements are required.  
In stereo and mono modes the Left/Right ADC data appear at the corresponding Left/Right Channel  
outputs. In digital mono-mix mode the mixed data appears on both the Left and Right Channel  
outputs. In analogue mono-mix mode the MONOUT bit controls whether the Right channel output  
presents the data from the Right ADC (dc measurement) or a copy of the Left Channel (mixed)  
output.

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.

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.

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.

ZERO-CROSS DETECTION  
To avoid zipper or click noises, it is preferable to change the microphone preamplifier and PGA gains  
only when the input signal is at zero. The WM8737L has built-in zero-cross detectors to achieve this.  
This function is enabled by setting the LMZC, LPZC, RMZC and RPZC bits. The zero-cross detection  
feature includes a programmable time-out, selected by writing to LZCTO[1:0] and RZCTO[1:0]. If no  
zero crossing occurs within the time-out period then the WM8737L changes the PGA or microphone  
preamplifier gains when the time-out elapses.

ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC)  
The WM8737L uses a multi-bit, oversampled sigma-delta ADC for each channel. The use of multi-bit  
feedback and high oversampling rates reduces the effects of jitter and high frequency noise. The  
ADC full-scale input level is proportional to AVDD. With a 3.3V supply voltage the full scale level is  
1.0 Volt rms (+/-1.414 Volts peak). Any voltage greater than full-scale will overload the ADC and

The ADCs can be operated in ‘normal mode’, which offers best THD+N performance at the cost of  
highest power dissipation, or in ‘low power mode’ which offers significant power savings at the cost of  
slightly reduced THD+N performance. The ADCs operating mode is controlled by the LP bit in  
register R5. See the ‘Power Consumption’ section for power requirements in both modes.

ADC DIGITAL FILTER  
The ADC filters perform true 24 bit signal processing to convert the raw multi-bit oversampled data  
from the ADC to the correct sampling frequency to be output on the digital audio interface. The digital  
filter path is illustrated below.

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.

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.

AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)  
The WM8737L has an automatic level control that 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.

The ALC function is enabled using the ALCSEL[1:0] control bits in register R12. When enabled, the  
recording volume can be programmed between -3dB and -18dB (relative to ADC full scale) using the  
ALCL[3:0] register bits in register R12.  
R13 and R14 bits HLD[3:0], DCY[3:0] and ATK[3:0] control the hold, decay and attack times,  
respectively:  
AI Rev 3.0 May 2004

WM8737L  
Preliminary Technical Data  
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 (2n) 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 (2n) 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 (2n) 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).

PEAK LIMITER  
To prevent clipping when a large signal occurs just after a period of quiet, the ALC circuit includes a  
limiter function. If the ADC input signal exceeds 87.5% of full scale (–1.16dBFS), 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 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  
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).

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  
I2S

All four of these modes are MSB first. They are described in Audio Data Formats, below. Refer to the

MASTER AND SLAVE MODE OPERATION  
The WM8737L can be configured as either a master or slave mode device. As a master device the

ADCDAT. In slave mode, the WM8737L responds with data to clocks it receives over the digital  
audio interface. The mode can be selected by writing to the MS bit (see Table 14). Master and slave

AUDIO INTERFACE CONTROL  
The register bits controlling audio format, word length and master/slave mode are summarised  
below. Note that dynamically changing the software format may cause erroneous operation of the  
interfaces and is therefore not recommended.  
All ADC data is signed 2’s complement. The length of the digital audio data is programmable at  
16/20/24 or 32 bits, as shown below. The ADC digital filters process data using 24 bits. If the  
WM8737L is programmed to output 16 or 20 bit data then it strips the LSBs from the 24 bit data. If  
the device is programmed to output 32 bits then it packs the LSBs with zeros.

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 128fs, 192fs, 256fs, 384fs, 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.

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 = 128fs, 192fs, 256fs, or 384fs subject to MCLK < 40MHz  
CLKDIV2 = 1: MCLK = 256fs, 384fs, 512fs, 768fs, 1024fs, 1536fs, subject to MCLK <

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.

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.

POWER SUPPLIES  
The WM8737L can use up to four separate power supplies:  
AVDD/AGND: Analogue supply, powers all analogue functions except the microphone pre-amp  
and MICBIAS. AVDD can range from 1.8V to 3.6V and has the most significant impact on  
overall power consumption. A large AVDD improves audio quality by increasing the maximum  
input signal range and thus SNR.  
MVDD: Supply pin for microphone pre-amp and MICBIAS only. This separate pin makes it  
possible to generate MICBIAS voltages larger than AVDD up to a maximum of 3.6V. If this is  
not necessary, MVDD should also be tied to AVDD.  
DCVDD: Digital core supply, powers all digital functions except the audio and control interface  
pins. DCVDD can range from 1.42V to 3.6V, and has no effect on audio quality. The return  
path for DCVDD is DGND, which is shared with DBVDD.  
DBVDD: Digital buffer supply, powers the audio and control interface pins. This makes it  
possible to run the digital core at very low voltages, saving power, while interfacing to other  
digital devices using a higher voltage. DBVDD draws much less power than DCVDD, and has  
no effect on audio quality. The return path for DBVDD is DGND, which is shared with DCVDD.  
It is possible to use the same supply voltage on all three. However, digital and analogue supplies  
should be routed and decoupled separately to keep digital switching noise out of the analogue signal  
paths.  
POWER MANAGEMENT  
The WM8737L has a power management register that allows users to select which functions are  
active. For minimum power consumption, unused functions should be disabled. To avoid any pop or  
click noise.  
When the WM8737L is not in use, it can be put into either one of two standby modes or OFF mode.  
OFF mode is achieved by writing zeros to all bits in the power management register and gives lowest  
power consumption, but wake-up may take several seconds if the VMID decoupling capacitor has  
discharged, as it must be recharged from the selectable impedance VMID source.  
The output impedance of VMID can be changed to allow variable voltage stabilization time after  
VMID is powered on. The 300ksetting will ensure minimum VMID power consumption but with slow  
charging time, while the 2.5ksetting will allow a more rapid charging time but with the penalty of  
greatly increased VMID power consumption. The default 75ksetting is recommended for most  
applications.

Preliminary Technical Data  
Standby mode 1 is achieved by powering down everything except the VMID source and gives a very  
low power sleep mode. Wake-up may require a few milliseconds to ensure that the VREF voltage  
has stabilized.  
Standby mode 2 is achieved by not powering down VMID and VREF. The WM8737L can awaken  
instantly from standby mode 2 because VREF is already stable.

Preliminary Technical Data  
WM8737L  
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 1µF when using the microphone preamplifier, and at least  
10µF if directly driving the PGA (bigger capacitance may be required at higher gains due to the low  
PGA input impedance at high gain).

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.
