WM8918

Ultra-Low-Power Stereo DAC with Headphone Driver, 3 Line Inputs

WM8918 Overview

The WM8918 is an ultra-low-power stereo digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with integrated ground-referenced headphone amplifiers that incorporate a dual-mode charge pump to optimize efficiency and power consumption during playback. The ground-referenced outputs eliminate headphone coupling capacitors and the outputs include common mode feedback paths to reject ground noise. Control sequences for audio path setup can be pre-loaded and executed by an integrated control write sequencer to reduce software driver development and minimize pops and clicks. The analog input stage can be configured for single ended or differential inputs, and up to three stereo microphone or line inputs may be connected.
