for 2Vrms LINE OUT
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The WM8521 is a 192kHz stereo DAC with an integrated output
op-amp stage, designed to generate a 2.0Vrms output signal
directly, so reducing external component requirements in digital
audio applications.

WM8521 comes into two variants WM8521HC and WM8521H9
which offers different line drive output capabilities. WM8521HC
outputs 2Vrms at 12V supply, while WM8521H9 outputs
2.0Vrms at 9V supply. WM8521HC/H9 are designed for cost
sensitive consumer digital audio applications requiring 2Vrms
line output.
A 24-bit multi-bit sigma delta DAC is used with oversampling
digital interpolation filters. Digital audio input word lengths from
16-32 bits and sampling rates from 8kHz to 192kHz are
supported.

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.

Power down refers to operation after MCLK has been stopped. Digital reset occurs 1.5s after MCLK is stopped.
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 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 the other.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The WM8521 is a high performance DAC designed for digital consumer audio applications requiring a
2Vrms output. The range of features make it ideally suited for use in DVD players, Digital TV, Digital
Set Top Boxes, AV receivers and other consumer audio equipment.
The WM8521 is a complete 2-channel stereo audio digital-to-analogue converter, including digital
interpolation filter, multi-bit sigma delta with dither, switched capacitor multi-bit stereo DAC and output
smoothing filters combined with 2Vrms outputs. It is fully compatible and an ideal partner for a range
of industry standard microprocessors, controllers and DSPs. A novel multi bit sigma-delta DAC design
is used, utilising a 128x oversampling rate, to optimise signal to noise performance and offer
increased clock jitter tolerance.
Control of internal functionality of the device is provided by hardware control (pin programmed).
Operation using master clocks of 256fs, 384fs, 512fs or 768fs is provided, selection between clock
rates being automatically controlled. Sample rates (fs) from 8kHz to 192kHz are allowed provided the
appropriate system clock is input.
2
The audio data interface supports 16-bit right justified or 16-, 20-, 24-, 32-bit I S interface formats. A
16bit DSP interface is also supported, enhancing the interface options for the user.
The device is packaged in a small 14-pin SOIC.
DAC CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The WM8521 DAC is designed to allow playback of 24-bit PCM audio or similar data with high
resolution and low noise and distortion. Sample rates from 8kHz to 192kHz may be used provided
that the ratio of sample rate (LRCLK) to master clock (MCLK) is maintained at one of the required
rates.
The two DACs on the WM8521 are implemented using sigma-delta oversampled conversion
techniques. These require that the PCM samples are digitally filtered and interpolated to generate a
set of samples at a much higher rate than the input rate. This sample stream is then digitally
modulated to generate a digital pulse stream that is then converted to analogue signals in a switched
capacitor DAC. The advantage of this technique is that the DAC is linearised using noise shaping
techniques, allowing the 24-bit resolution to be met using non-critical analogue components. A further
advantage is that the high sample rate at the DAC output means that smoothing filters on the output
of the DAC need only have fairly crude characteristics in order to remove the characteristic steps, or
images on the output of the DAC. To ensure that generation of tones characteristic to sigma-delta
convertors is not a problem, dithering is used in the digital modulator along with a higher order
modulator. The multi-bit switched capacitor technique used in the DAC reduces sensitivity to clock
jitter, and dramatically reduces out of band noise compared to switched current or single bit
techniques used in other implementations.
The voltage on the CAP pin is used as the reference for the DACs. Therefore the amplitude of the
signals at the DAC outputs will scale with the amplitude of the voltage at the CAP pin. An external
reference could be used to drive into the CAP pin if desired, with a value typically of about midrail
ideal for optimum performance. However driven in normal operation, an internal divider will set a
valve of AVDD/2 on the cap pin.
Typically an external low pass filter circuit will be used to remove residual out of band noise
characteristic of delta sigma converters. However, the advanced multi-bit DAC used in WM8521
produces far less out of band noise than single bit traditional sigma delta DACs, and so in many
applications this filter may be removed, or replaced with a simple RC pole.

CLOCKING SCHEMES
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 clock can be applied directly through the MCLK input pin with no
configuration necessary for sample rate selection.
Note that on the WM8521, MCLK is used to derive clocks for the DAC path. The DAC path is affected
by DAC sampling clock, DAC digital filter clock and DAC digital audio interface timing. In a system
where there are a number of possible sources for the reference clock it is recommended that the
clock source with the lowest jitter be used to optimise the performance of the DAC.
The device can be reset by stopping MCLK. In this state the power consumption is substantially
reduced.
DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE
Audio data is applied to the internal DAC filters via the Digital Audio Interface. Three interface
formats are supported:
2
 I S mode
 Right Justified mode
 DSP mode
All formats send the MSB first. The data format is selected with the FORMAT pin. When FORMAT is
LOW, right justified data format is selected and word lengths up to 16-bits may be used. If a word
length shorter than 16-bits is used, the unused bits should be padded with zeroes. When the
2
FORMAT pin is HIGH, I S format is selected and word length of any value up to 32-bits may be used.
Unless in 16-bit ‘packed’ mode, if a word length shorter than 24-bits is used, the unused bits should
be padded with zeros. If LRCLK is 4 BCLKs or less duration, the 16bit DSP compatible format is
selected. Mode A and B clock formats are supported, selected by the state of the FORMAT pin.
I2S MODE INPUT FORMAT
2
The WM8521 supports word lengths of 16-32 bits in I S mode.
2
In I S mode, the digital audio interface receives data on the DIN input. Audio Data 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.
25-32 bits: LRCLK must be high for a minimum of data wordlength BCLKs and low for a minimum of
data wordlength BCLKs. The LSBs will be truncated and the most significant 24 bits will be used by
the internal processing.
24 bits: LRCLK must be high for a minimum of 24 BCLKs and low for a minimum of 24 BCLKs.
17-23 bits: Data must be zero padded to 24 bits and LRCLK must be high for a minimum of 24 BCLKs
and low for a minimum of 24 BCLKs.
Up to 16 bits: EITHER data must be zero padded to 24 bits and LRCLK must be high for minimum 24
BCLKs and low for 24 BCLKs,
OR data must be zero padded to 16 bits and LRCLK must be high for exactly 16 BCLKs and low for
exactly 16 BCLKs. The device auto-detects this ’16-bit packed’ mode and switches to 16-bit data
length.
Any mark to space ratio on LRCLK is acceptable provided the above requirements are met.

In right justified mode, LRCLK must be high for a minimum of 16 BCLKs and low for a minimum of 16
BCLKs. Any mark to space ratio on LRCLK is acceptable provided the above requirement is met.
The digital audio interface receives data on the DIN input. Audio Data is time multiplexed with LRCLK

indicate the beginning or end of the data words.
In right justified mode, the LSB is sampled on the rising edge of BCLK preceding a LRCLK transition.
LRCLK is high during the left samples and low during the right samples.

DSP MODE INPUT FORMAT
A DSP compatible, time division multiplexed format is also supported by the WM8521.
This format is of the type where a ‘synch’ pulse is followed by two data words (left and right) of 16 bit
word length. The ‘synch’ pulse replaces the normal duration LRCLK, and DSP mode is auto-detected
by the shorter than normal duration of the LRCLK. If LRCLK is of 4 BCLK or less duration, the DSP
compatible format is selected. Mode A and Mode B formats are supported, selected by the state of
the FORMAT pin.

AUDIO DATA SAMPLING RATES
The master clock for WM8521 supports audio sampling rates from 256fs 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.
The WM8521 has a master clock detection circuit that automatically determines the relationship
between the master clock frequency and the sampling rate (to within +/- 32 master clocks). If there is
a greater than 32 clocks error, the master clock defaults to 768fs. The master clock should be
synchronised with LRCLK, although the WM8521 is tolerant of phase differences or jitter on this
clock.

Time(s)
Figure 7 Application and Release of MUTE
MUTE is active high; taking the pin high causes the filters to soft mute, ramping down the audio signal
over a few milliseconds. Taking MUTE low again allows data into the filter. Refer to Figure 7.
Therefore if MUTE is tied low then mute is disabled and the automute function is overridden.
If MUTE is floating or connected to a high impedance then the automute function will operate. The
AUTOMUTED internal signal, which is generated by the IZD function, is connected to the MUTE pin
internally via a 10k resistor. This can provide a weak output (10k source impedance) which can be
used to drive external mute circuits. Refer to Figure 8.
The Infinite Zero Detect (IZD) function detects 1024 zero value audio samples applied to both
channels. After such an event, a latch is set whose output is the AUTOMUTED internal signal.
AUTOMUTED will be reset as soon as either channel receives a non-zero input.

Figure 19 Recommended 1st Order Low Pass Filter
Note: Capacitors should be COG dielectric.
An external single pole RC filter is recommended (see Figure 19) if the device is driving a wideband
amplifier. However the WM8521 does contain an internal low pass filter which should be adequate in
most applications.
PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Care should be taken in the layout of the PCB that the WM8521 is to be mounted to. The following
notes will help in this respect:
The VDD supply to the device should be as noise free as possible. This can be accomplished to
a large degree with a 10uF bulk capacitor placed locally to the device and a 0.1uF high frequency
decoupling capacitor placed as close to the VDD pin as possible. It is best to place the 0.1uF
capacitor directly between the VDD and GND pins of the device on the same layer to minimize track
inductance and thus improve device decoupling effectiveness.
The CAP pin should be as noise free as possible. This pin provides the decoupling for the on chip
reference circuits and thus any noise present on this pin will be directly coupled to the device
outputs. In a similar manner to the VDD decoupling described above, this pin should be decoupled
with a 10uF bulk capacitor local to the device and a 0.1uF capacitor as close to the CAP pin as
possible.
Separate analogue and digital track routing from each other. The device is split into analogue
(pins 5 – 10) and digital (pins 1 – 4 & pins 11 – 14) sections that allow the routing of these signals to
be easily separated. By physically separating analogue and digital signals, crosstalk from the PCB
can be minimized.
Use an unbroken solid GND plane. To achieve best performance from the device, it is advisable
to have either a GND plane layer on a multilayer PCB or to dedicate one side of a 2 layer PCB to be a
GND plane. For double sided implementations it is best to route as many signals as possible on the
device mounted side of the board, with the opposite side acting as a GND plane. The use of a GND
plane greatly reduces any electrical emissions from the PCB and minimizes crosstalk between
signals.
An evaluation board is available for the WM8521 that demonstrates the above techniques and the
excellent performance achievable from the device. This can be ordered or the User manual
downloaded from the Wolfson web site at www.wolfsonmicro.com
