Notes:
1. Ratio of output level with 1kHz full scale input, to the output level with all zeros into the digital input, measured ‘A’
weighted.
2. 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.
3. 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) - DNR 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. Stop band attenuation (dB) - Is the degree to which the frequency spectrum is attenuated (outside audio band).
5. Channel Separation (dB) - Also known as crosstalk. 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.
6. Pass-Band Ripple - Any variation of the frequency response in the pass-band region.

If MCLK period is longer than maximum specified above, power-saving mode is entered and DACs are powered down with
internal digital audio filters being reset. In this power-saving mode, all registers will retain their values and can be
accessed in the normal manner through the control interface. Once MCLK is restored, the DACs are automatically
powered up, but a write to the volume update register bit is required to restore the correct volume settings.

INTERNAL POWER ON RESET CIRCUIT
Figure 7 Internal Power on Reset Circuit Schematic
The WM8768 includes an internal Power-On-Reset Circuit, as shown in Figure 7, which is used reset
the digital logic into a default state after power up. The POR circuit is powered from DVDD and
monitors DVDD. It asserts PORB low if DVDD is below a minimum threshold.
Figure 8 Typical Power-Up Sequence
Figure 8 shows a typical power-up sequence. When DVDD goes above the minimum threshold,
Vpord, there is enough voltage for the circuit to guarantee PORB is asserted low and the chip is held
in reset. In this condition, all writes to the control interface are ignored. When DVDD rises to
Vpor_on, PORB is released high and all registers are in their default state and writes to the control
interface may take place.
On power down, PORB is asserted low whenever DVDD drops below the minimum threshold
Vpor_off.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
WM8766 is a complete 6-channel DAC including digital interpolation and decimation filters and
switched capacitor multi-bit sigma delta DACs with digital volume controls on each channel and
output smoothing filters.
The device is implemented as 3 separate stereo DACs in a single package and controlled by a single
interface.
Each stereo DAC has its own data input DIN1/2/3. DAC word clock LRCLK, DAC bit clock BCLK and
DAC master clock MCLK are shared between them.
The Audio Interface may be configured to operate in either master or slave mode. In Slave mode,
LRCLK and BCLK are all inputs. In Master mode, LRCLK and BCLK are all outputs.
Each DAC has its own digital volume control that is adjustable in 0.5dB steps. The digital volume
controls may be operated independently. In addition, a zero cross detect circuit is provided for each
DAC for the digital volume controls. The digital volume control detects a transition through the zero
point before updating the volume. This minimises audible clicks and ‘zipper’ noise as the gain values
change.
Control of internal functionality of the device is by 3-wire serial or pin programmable control interface.
The software control interface may be asynchronous to the audio data interface as control data will
be re-synchronised to the audio processing internally.
Operation using master clocks of 128fs, 192fs, 256fs, 384fs, 512fs or 768fs is provided for the DAC.
In Slave mode selection between clock rates is automatically controlled. In master mode, the sample
rate is set by control bit DACRATE. Audio sample rates (fs) from less than 8ks/s up to 192ks/s are
allowed for the DAC, provided the appropriate master clock is input.
The audio data interface supports right justified, left justified and I2S interface formats along with a
highly flexible DSP serial port interface.
AUDIO DATA SAMPLING RATES
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. The external master system clock can be applied directly through the DAC MCLK input
pin(s) with no software configuration necessary.
The DAC master clock for WM8766 supports audio sampling rates from 128fs to 768fs, where fs is
the audio sampling frequency (LRCLK) typically 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz or 192kHz. The
master clock is used to operate the digital filters and the noise shaping circuits.
In Slave mode the WM8766 has a master clock detection circuit that automatically determines the
relationship between the system clock frequency and the sampling rate (to within +/- 32 master
clocks). If there is a greater than 32 clocks error the interface defaults to 768fs mode. The WM8766
is tolerant of phase variations or jitter on the master clock. Table 6 shows the typical master clock
frequency inputs for the WM8766.
The signal processing for the WM8766 typically operates at an oversampling rate of 128fs. The
exception to this is for operation with a 128/192fs system clock, e.g. for 192kHz operation, when the
oversampling rate is 64fs.

HARDWARE CONTROL MODES
When the MODE pin is held high, the following hardware modes of operation are available.
MUTE AND AUTOMUTE OPERATION
In both hardware and software modes, MUTE controls the selection of MUTE directly, and can be
used to enable and disable the automute function. This pin becomes an output when left floating and
indicates infinite ZERO detect (IZD) has been detected.
DESCRIPTION
0 Normal Operation
1 Mute DAC channels
Floating Enable IZD, MUTE becomes an output to indicate when IZD occurs.
L=IZD not detected, H=IZD detected.
Table 7 Mute and Automute Control
Figure 9 shows the application and release of MUTE whilst a full amplitude sinusoid is being played
at 48kHz sampling rate. When MUTE (lower trace) is asserted, the output (upper trace) begins to
decay exponentially from the DC level of the last input sample. The output will decay towards VMID
with a time constant of approximately 64 input samples. When MUTE is de-asserted, the output will
restart almost immediately from the current input sample.

In hardware mode (MODE pin set high) the MUTE pin becomes a bi-directional pin. Therefore if it is
driven low the device will never softmute. If it is driven high then all channels will softmute
immediately.
However if the pin is connected to a high impedance, or left floating, then when all three internal zero
flags are raised the WM8766 will also drive a weak logic high signal on the MUTE pin (output
impedance 10kOhms) which can be used to drive an external device.
It is not possible to perform analogue mute in Hardware mode.

DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE
MASTER AND SLAVE MODES
The audio interface operates in either Slave or Master mode, selectable using the MS control bit. In
both Master and Slave modes DIN1/2/3 are always inputs to the WM8766 and DOUT is always an
output. The default is Slave mode.
In Slave mode, LRCLK and BCLK are inputs to the WM8766 DIN1/2/3 and LRCLK are sampled by
the WM8766 on the rising edge of BCLK.
By setting the control bit BCP the polarity of BCLK may be reversed so that DIN1/2/3 and LRCLK are
sampled on the falling edge of BCLK and DOUT changes on the rising edge of BCLK

AUDIO INTERFACE FORMATS
Audio data is applied to the internal DAC filters via the Digital Audio Interface. 5 popular interface
formats are supported:
Left Justified mode
Right Justified mode
I2S mode
DSP mode A
DSP mode B
All 5 formats send the MSB first and support word lengths of 16, 20, 24 and 32 bits, with the
exception of 32 bit right justified mode, which is not supported.
In left justified, right justified and I2S modes, the digital audio interface receives DAC data on the
DIN1/2/3 inputs. Audio data for each stereo channel is time multiplexed with LRCLK indicating
whether the left or right channel is present. LRCLK is also used as a timing reference to indicate the
beginning or end of the data words.
In left justified, right justified and I2S modes, the minimum number of BCLKs per LRCLK period is 2
times the selected word length. LRCLK must be high for a minimum of word length BCLKs and low
for a minimum of word length BCLKs. Any mark to space ratio on LRCLK is acceptable provided the
above requirements are met.
In DSP modes A or B, all 6 DAC channels are time multiplexed onto DIN1. LRCLK is used as a
frame sync signal to identify the MSB of the first word. The minimum number of BCLKs per LRCLK
period is 6 times the selected word length. Any mark to space ratio is acceptable on LRCLK provided
the rising edge is correctly positioned.
LEFT JUSTIFIED MODE
In left justified mode, the MSB of DIN1/2/3 is sampled by the WM8766 on the first rising edge of
BCLK following a LRCLK transition. LRCLK is high during the left samples and low during the right
samples, see Figure 13.

In right justified mode, the LSB of DIN1/2/3 is sampled by the WM8766 on the rising edge of BCLK
preceding a LRCLK transition. LRCLK are high during the left samples and low during the right
samples, see Figure 14.
Figure 14 Right Justified Mode Timing Diagram
I2S MODE
In I2S mode, the MSB of DIN1/2/3 is sampled by the WM8766 on the second rising edge of BCLK
following a LRCLK transition. LRCLK are low during the left samples and high during the right
samples.

DSP MODE A
In DSP mode A, the MSB of DAC channel 1 left data is sampled by the WM8766 on the second
rising edge on BCLK following a LRCLK rising edge. DAC channel 1 right and DAC channels 2 and 3
data follow DAC channel 1 left data (Figure 16).
Figure 16 DSP Mode A Timing Diagram – DAC Data Input
DSP MODE B
In DSP mode B, the MSB of DAC channel 1 left data is sampled by the WM8766 on the first BCLK
rising edge following a LRCLK rising edge. DAC channel 1 right and DAC channels 2 and 3 data
follow DAC channel 1 left data (Figure 17).
Figure 17 DSP Mode B Timing Diagram – DAC Data Input
In both DSP modes A and B, DACL1 is always sent first, followed immediately by DACR1 and the
data words for the other 6 channels. No BCLK edges are allowed between the data words. The word
order is DAC1 left, DAC1 right, DAC2 left, DAC2 right, DAC3 left, DAC3 right.
POWERDOWN MODES
The WM8766 has powerdown control bits allowing specific parts of the WM8766 to be powered off
when not being used. The three stereo DACs each have a separate powerdown control bit,
DACPD[2:0] allowing individual stereo DACs to be powered off when not in use. Setting DACPD[2:0]
will powerdown everything except the reference VMID may be powered down by setting PDWN.
Setting PDWN will override all other powerdown control bits. It is recommended that the DACs are
powered down before setting PDWN.

SOFTWARE CONTROL INTERFACE OPERATION
The WM8766 is controlled using a 3-wire serial interface in software mode or pin programmable in
hardware mode.
The control mode is selected by the state of the MODE pin.
3-WIRE (SPI COMPATIBLE) SERIAL CONTROL MODE
MD/DM is used for the program data, MC/IWL is used to clock in the program data and ML/I2S is
used to latch the program data. MD/DM is sampled on the rising edge of MC/IWL. The 3-wire
interface protocol is shown in Figure 18.

In left justified, right justified or I2S modes, the LRP register bit controls the polarity of LRCLK. If this
bit is set high, the expected polarity of LRCLK will be the opposite of that shown in Figure 13, Figure
14 and Figure 15. Note that if this feature is used as a means of swapping the left and right
channels, a 1 sample phase difference will be introduced. In DSP modes, the LRP register bit is

Note: 32-bit right justified mode is not supported.
In all modes, the data is signed 2's complement. The digital filters always input 24-bit data. If the
DAC is programmed to receive 16 or 20 bit data, the WM8766 pads the unused LSBs with zeros. If
the DAC is programmed into 32 bit mode, the 8 LSBs are ignored.
Note: In 24 bit I2S mode, any width of 24 bits or less is supported provided that LRCLK is high for a
minimum of 24 BCLKs and low for a minimum of 24 BCLKs.
A number of options are available to control how data from the Digital Audio Interface is applied to
the DAC channels.

SOFTMUTE
The digital muting function used in Software and Hardware mode applies a softmute with the
operating characteristics shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19 Soft Mute Operation
When the softmute is applied the output of the device will decay towards VMID with a time constant of
approximately 64 input samples. When the mute is released, either manually or automatically by the
chip, the output will restart immediately from the current input sample.
ANALOGUE MUTE
Analogue mute can only be used in software mode and will cause the output of the selected DAC to
perform an analogue mute that clamps the output of the DAC to VMID. This function is dependent in
the IZD bit which is described in section INFINITE ZERO DETECT, later.

MUTE PIN AS INPUT
The WM8766 can be muted externally by driving the MUTE pin high. When the MUTE pin is driven
low the device will never automute, although direct mutes can still be applied via the DMUTE or
MUTEALL registers.
The DZFM bits are used to decode the operation of a MUTE pin (decides which channels will be
affected by the logic level present on the MUTE pin). MPD (Mute Pin Decode) is used to enable the
DZFM operation. If MPD is set, the selection made by the DZFM bits will be ignored and all channels
will be muted when the pin is driven high.
Table 11 below describes which channels will be softmuted when the MUTE pin is driven high
depending on the MPD and DZFM bits.

AUTOMUTE
The WM8766 can automute by counting zero samples on the DIN1/2/3 inputs. When 1024 zero
samples are counted on one channel, one of three internal zero flags (zflag1/2/3 shown in figure 2) is
raised. Depending on the external hardware and settings of DZFM, MPD and IZD, different automute
operations are possible.
MUTE PIN AS OUTPUT
If the MUTE pin is connected to a high impedance (input to external mute circuitry for example) or left
floating, zflag1/2/3 will be output on the Mute pin dependent on DZFM settings. This is described in
Table 12 below. The output impedance of the MUTE pin is 10kOhms
DZFM [1:0] CONDITION UNDER WHICH
MUTE PIN DRIVEN HIGH

Table 12 Effect of DZFM on Mute Pin Decode
When the Mute pin is used as an output, its logic level remains connected to the DZFM selector
inside the chip (see figure 1). So, when the WM8766 drives the Mute pin high, the output DACs will
also softmute as described by Table 13.

The MUTE pin can either be used as an output or an input. When used as an input the MUTE pins
action can be controlled by setting the DZFM bit to select the corresponding DAC for applying the

SUGGESTED ANALOGUE LOW PASS POST DAC FILTERS
It is recommended that a lowpass filter be applied to the output from each DAC channel for Hi Fi
applications. Typically a second order filter is suitable and provides sufficient attenuation of high
frequency components (the unique low order, high bit count multi-bit sigma delta DAC structure used
in WM8766 produces much less high frequency output noise than normal sigma delta DACs. This
filter is typically also used to provide the 2x gain needed to provide the standard 2Vrms output level
from most consumer equipment.
Figure 31 shows a suitable post DAC filter circuit, with 2x gain. Alternative inverting filter
architectures might also be used with as good results.
