WM8988
Stereo CODEC for Portable Audio Applications
DESCRIPTION
The WM8988 is a low power, high quality stereo CODEC
designed for portable digital audio applications.
The device integrates complete interfaces to 2 stereo
headphone or line out ports. External component
requirements are drastically reduced as no separate
headphone amplifiers are required. Advanced on-chip digital
signal processing performs graphic equaliser, 3-D sound
enhancement and automatic level control for the
microphone or line input.
The WM8988 can operate as a master or a slave, with
various master clock frequencies including 12 or 24MHz for
USB devices, or standard 256fs rates like 12.288MHz and
24.576MHz. Different audio sample rates such as 96kHz,
48kHz, 44.1kHz are generated directly from the master
clock without the need for an external PLL.
The WM8988 operates at supply voltages down to 1.8V,
although the digital core can operate at voltages down to
1.42V to save power, and the maximum for all supplies is
3.6 Volts. Different sections of the chip can also be powered
down under software control.
The WM8988 is supplied in a very small and thin 4x4mm
COL package, ideal for use in hand-held and portable
systems.

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.
Cirrus Logic 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.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level for each package type is specified in Ordering Information.

Analogue and digital grounds must always be within 0.3V of each other.
All digital and analogue supplies are completely independent from each other.
DCVDD must be less than or equal to AVDD and DBVDD.
