DESCRIPTION
The WM8740 is a very high performance stereo DAC
designed for audio applications such as CD, DVD, home
theatre systems, set top boxes and digital TV. The WM8740
supports data input word lengths from 16 to 24-bits and
sampling rates up to 192kHz. The WM8740 consists of a
serial interface port, digital interpolation filter, multi-bit sigma
delta modulator and stereo DAC in a small 28-pin SSOP
package. The WM8740 also includes a digitally controllable
mute and attenuator function on each channel.
The internal digital filter has two selectable roll-off
characteristics. A sharp or slow roll-off can be selected
dependent on application requirements. Additionally, the
internal digital filter can be by-passed and the WM8740
used with an external digital filter.
The WM8740 supports two connection schemes for audio
DAC control. The SPI-compatible serial control port
provides access to a wide range of features including on-
chip mute, attenuation and phase reversal. A hardware
controllable interface is also available.

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-020B for Moisture Sensitivity to determine acceptable storage
conditions prior to surface mount assembly. These levels are:
MSL1 = unlimited floor life at <30°C / 85% Relative Humidity. Not normally stored in moisture barrier bag.
MSL2 = out of bag storage for 1 year at <30°C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
MSL3 = out of bag storage for 168 hours at <30°C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
CONDITION MIN MAX
Supply voltage -0.3V +7.0V
Input GND -0.3V VDD + 0.3V
Operating temperature range, TA -25°C +85°C
Storage temperature prior to soldering 30°C max / 85% RH max
Storage temperature after soldering -65°C +150°C
Note: It is strongly recommended that AVDD, AVDDL and AVDDR are tied together. AGND, AGNDL and AGND right
must also be tied together.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The WM8740 is a high performance 128fs oversampling rate stereo DAC employing a novel 64 level
sigma delta DAC design which provides optimised signal-to-noise performance and clock jitter
tolerance. It is ideally suited to high quality audio applications such as CD, DVD-audio, home theatre
receivers and professional mixing consoles. The WM8740 supports sample rates from 8ks/s to
192ks/s.
The control functions of the WM8740 are either pin selected (hardware mode) or programmed via the
serial interface (software mode). Control functions that are available include: data input word length
and format selection (16-24 bits: I2S, left justified or right justified): de-emphasis sample rate
selection (48kHz, 44.1kHz and 32kHz); differential output modes; a software or hardware mute and
independently digitally controllable attenuation on both channels.
The digital filtering may be bypassed entirely by selecting MODE8X. Data is then input directly to the
DAC, bypassing the digital filters. Left and right channels are input separately, using the MODE pin
as the right channel input. This mode allows the use of alternative digital filters, such as the Pacific
Microsonics PMD100 HDCD filter.
In addition to the normal stereo operating mode the WM8740 may also be used in dual differential
mode with either the left or right channel (selectable) being output dual differentially. Two WM8740s
can then be used in parallel to implement a stereo channel, each supporting a single channel
differentially. Note that this mode uses 2 pairs of differential outputs for each channel – the benefit is
SNR improved by 3dB. This mode is available in both software and hardware modes and may also
be used in conjunction with MODE8X.
SYSTEM CLOCK
Sample rates from 8ks/s up to 96ks/s are available, and automatically selected, with a system clock
of 256fs or 384fs. In addition a system clock of 128fs or 192fs may be used, with sample rates up to
192ks/s. With a 128fs or 192fs system clock 64x oversampling mode operation is automatically
selected and the first stage of the digital filter is bypassed.
WM8740 has an asynchronous monitor circuit, which in the event of removal of the master system
clock, resets the digital filters and analogue circuits, muting the output. Re-application of the system
clock re-starts the filters from an intitialised state. Control registers are not reset under this condition.
The WM8740 is tolerant of asynchronous bit clock jitter. The internal signal processing
resynchronises to the external LRCIN once the phase difference between bit clock and the system
clock exceeds half an LRCIN period. During this re-synch period the interpolating filters will either
miss or repeat an audio sample, minimising the audible effects of the operation. Table 1 shows the
typical system clock frequency inputs for the WM8740.

Table 1 System Clock Frequencies Versus Sampling Rate
AUDIO DATA INTERFACE
Data may be input at a rate corresponding to the system clock having a rate of 256fs or 384fs, in
which case an oversampling ratio of 128x is selected. Alternatively a rate of 128fs or 192fs may be
used, in which case the first filter stage is bypassed and an oversampling ratio of 64x results. Finally,
in MODE8X, data may be input at 8x the normal rate, in which case separate input pins are used to
input the two stereo channels of data (unless DIFFHW mode and MODE8X are both selected, in
which case only a mono channel is converted differentially). In MODE8X all filter stages are by-
passed, prior to the sigma delta modulator, MODE8X is not supported at 192kHz sampling rate. Data
is input MSB first in all modes.

NORMAL SAMPLE RATE
In normal mode, the data is input serially on one pin for both left and right channels.
Data can be “right justified” meaning that the last 16, 20 or 24 bits (depending on chosen PCM word
length) that were clocked in prior to the transition on LRCIN are valid.
Alternatively data can be “left justified” (20 and 24-bit PCM data only), where the bits are clocked in
as the first 20 or 24 bits after a transition on LRCIN.
For the three I2S modes supported (16-bit, 20-bit and 24-bit PCM data), data is clocked “left justified”
except with one additional preceding clock cycle.

8 X FS INPUT SAMPLE RATE
Due to the higher speed of the interface in 8 x fs mode, audio data is input on two pins. The MODE
pin (pin 24) is used as the second input for the right channel data and left data is input on DIN (pin2).
In this mode, software control of the device is not available. The data can be input in two formats, left
or right justified, selectable by ML/I2S and two word lengths (20 or 24 bit), selectable by CSBIWO. In
both modes the data is always clocked in MSB first.
For left justified data the word start is marked by the falling edge of LRCIN. The data is clocked in on
the next 20/24 BCKIN rising edges. This format is compatible with devices such as the PMD100.
For right justified the data is justified to the rising edge of LRCIN and the data is clocked in on the
preceding 20/24 BCKIN rising edges before the LRCIN rising edge. This format is compatible with
devices such as the DF1704 or SM5842.
In both modes the polarity of LRCIN can be switched using MD/DM0.
Differential hardware mode can be used in conjunction with 8fs mode by setting the DIFFHW
pin high. In differential 8fs mode the data is input on DIN and output differentially. MODE is
unused and must be tied low.

MODES OF OPERATION
Control of the various modes of operation is either by software control over the serial interface, or
by hard-wired pin control. Selection of software or hardware mode is via MODE pin. The following
functions may be controlled either via the serial control interface or by hard wiring of the
appropriate pins.
HARDWARE CONTROL MODES
When the MODE pin is held ‘low’ the following hardware modes of operation are available. In
Hardware differential mode or 8X mode some of these modes/control words are altered or
unavailable.

A logic low on the MUTEB pin will cause the attenuation to ramp to infinite attenuation at a rate of
128/fs seconds per 0.5dB step. Setting MUTEB high will cause the attenuation to ramp back to its
previous value.
SOFTWARE CONTROL INTERFACE
The WM8740 can be controlled using a 3-wire serial interface. MD/DM0 (pin 26) is used for the
program data, MC/DM1 (pin 22) is used to clock in the program data and ML/I2S (pin 28) is use to
latch in the program data. The 3-wire interface protocol is shown in Figure 6. CSB/IWO (pin 23) must

REGISTER MAP
WM8740 controls the special functions using 4 program registers, which are 16-bits long. These
registers are all loaded through input pin MD/DM0. After the 16 data bits are clocked in, ML/I2S is
used to latch in the data to the appropriate register. Table 5 shows the complete mapping of the 4
registers. Note that in hardware differential mode and 8X modes, software control is not available.
The hardware differential mode (Diff[1:0]) clock loss detector disable (CDD) can only be accessed by
writing to M2[8:5] with the pattern 1111. Register M4 is then accessible by setting A[2:0] to 110.

DAC OUTPUT ATTENUATION
The level of attenuation for eight bit code X, is given by:
0.5 ∗ (X - 255) dB, 1 ≤ X ≤ 255
- ∞dB (mute), X = 0
Bit 8 in register 0 (LDL) is used to control the loading of attenuation data in B[7:0]. When LDL is set
to 0, attenuation data will be loaded into AL[7:0], but it will not affect the filter attenuation. LDR in
register 1 has the same function for right channel attenuation. Only when LDL or LDR is set to '1' will
the filter attenuation be updated. This permits left and right channel attenuation to be updated
simultaneously.
Attenuation level is controlled by AL[7:0] (left channel) or AR[7:0] (right channel). Attenuation levels
are given in Table 7.

Table 7 Attenuation Control Level
Bit 2 in Reg3 is used to control the attenuator (ATC). When ATC is “high”, the attenuation data
loaded in program register 0 is used for both the left and the right channels. When ATC is low, the
attenuation data for each register is applied separately to left and right channels.

the attenuation registers are unchanged. When MUT is reset the attenuation will ramp back up to the
previous value. The ramp rate is 128/fs s/0.5dB step.

SOFTWARE DIFFERENTIAL MONO MODE
To control the WM8740 in software differential mode register M4 must be written to. A ‘key’ register
write must be made to register M2 to allow access to register M4 which is ‘locked’ as default. Bits B5
to B8 of register M2 must be set to ‘1’ (0x01e0).
With register M4 ‘unlocked’, bits B4 and B5 may be used to set the required differential output mode;
normal stereo, reversed stereo, mono left or mono right, as shown in Table 18.

Using these controls a pair of WM8740 devices may be used to build a dual differential stereo
implementation with higher performance and differential output.
Note: DIFFHW mode pin may be used to achieve the same result by hardware means.

L Clock loss detector on

Table 19 Clock Loss Detector Disable
When the system clock is inactive for approximately 100µs, the clock loss detector circuit detects the
loss of clock and the analogue circuitry is forced into a mute condition and the digital filters reset.
Setting the CDD bit disables this behaviour.

ANRES is the reset to the switched capacitor filter.
1. ANMUTE is an analogue muting signal gating the analogue signal at the output (after
the SC filter)
2. AUTOMUTE is asserted when both the IZD register bit is asserted and the input audio
data has been zero on both left and right channels for 1024 input samples. The first
non-zero sample de-asserts.
3. Applying a logic low to MUTEB or setting MUT in Reg2 causes the gain registers to
ramp to zero. When a logic high is applied, the gain ramps slowly back up to the value
held in the appropriate attenuation register (AL or AR). The ramp rate = 128/fs s/0.5dB
step.
