WM8956
Hi-Fi DAC with 1W Stereo Class D Speaker Drivers and
Headphone Drivers
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The WM8956 is a low power, high quality stereo DAC designed
for portable multimedia applications.
•
•
•
•
Stereo class D speaker drivers provide 1W per channel into 8Ω
loads with a 5V supply. Low leakage, excellent PSRR and
pop/click suppression mechanisms also allow direct battery
connection to the speaker supply. Flexible speaker boost
settings allow speaker output power to be maximised while
minimising other analogue supply currents.
A highly flexible input configuration for up to three stereo
sources is integrated, with a complete microphone interface.
External component requirements are drastically reduced as no
separate microphone, speaker or headphone amplifiers are
required.
Stereo 24-bit sigma-delta DACs are used with low power oversampling digital interpolation filters and a flexible digital audio
interface.
The master clock can be input directly or generated internally by
an onboard PLL, supporting most commonly-used clocking
schemes.
The WM8956 operates at analogue supply voltages down to
2.7V, although the digital supplies can operate at voltages down
to 1.71V to save power. The speaker supply can operate at up
to 5.5V, providing 1W per channel into 8Ω loads. Unused
functions can be disabled using software control to save power.
The WM8956 is supplied in a very small and thin 5x5mm QFN
package, ideal for use in hand-held and portable systems.

Preliminary Technical Data
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.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level for each package type is specified in Ordering Information.

Notes
1.
Analogue, digital and speaker grounds must always be within 0.3V of each other.
2.
All digital and analogue supplies are completely independent from each other (i.e. not internally connected).
3.
DCVDD must be less than or equal to AVDD and DBVDD.
4.
AVDD must be less than or equal to SPKVDD1 and SPKVDD2.
5.
SPKVDD1 and SPKVDD2 must be high enough to support the peak output voltage when using DCGAIN and ACGAIN
functions, to avoid output waveform clipping. Peak output voltage is AVDD*(DCGAIN+ACGAIN)/2.

INTERNAL POWER ON RESET CIRCUIT
Figure 5 Internal Power on Reset Circuit Schematic
The WM8956 includes an internal Power-On-Reset Circuit, as shown in Figure 5, which is used to
reset the digital logic into a default state after power up. The POR circuit is powered from AVDD and
monitors DCVDD. It asserts PORB low if AVDD or DCVDD is below a minimum threshold.
Figure 6 Typical Power up Sequence where AVDD is Powered before DCVDD
Figure 6 shows a typical power-up sequence where AVDD comes up first. When AVDD goes above
the minimum threshold, Vpora, 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. Now
AVDD is at full supply level. Next DCVDD rises to Vpord_on and PORB is released high and all
registers are in their default state and writes to the control interface may take place.
On power down, where AVDD falls first, PORB is asserted low whenever AVDD drops below the
minimum threshold Vpora_off.

to Vpora_on, PORB is released high and all registers are in their default state and writes to the control
interface may take place.

Notes:
w
1.
If AVDD and DCVDD suffer a brown-out (i.e. drop below the minimum recommended operating
level but do not go below Vpora_off or Vpord_off) then the chip will not reset and will resume normal
operation when the voltage is back to the recommended level again.
2.
The chip will enter reset at power down when AVDD or DCVDD falls below Vpora_off or Vpord_off.
This may be important if the supply is turned on and off frequently by a power management
system.
3.
The minimum tpor period is maintained even if DCVDD and AVDD have zero rise time. This
specification is guaranteed by design rather than test.

WM8956
Preliminary Technical Data
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The WM8956 is a low power audio DAC offering a combination of high quality audio, advanced
features, low power and small size. These characteristics make it ideal for portable digital audio
applications with stereo speaker and headphone outputs such as games consoles, portable media
players and multimedia phones.
Stereo class D speaker drivers can provide 1W per channel into 8Ω loads. BTL configuration
provides high power output and excellent PSRR. Low leakage and pop/click suppression
mechanisms allow direct battery connection, reducing component count and power consumption in
portable battery-powered applications. Highly flexible speaker boost settings provide fully internal
level-shifting of analogue output signals, allowing speaker output power to be maximised while
minimising other analogue supply currents, and requiring no additional components.
A flexible input configuration includes support for two stereo microphone interfaces (single-ended or
pseudo-differential) and additional stereo line inputs. Up to three stereo analogue input sources are
available, removing the need for external analogue switches in many applications. Boost amplifiers
are available for additional gain on the microphone inputs.
The stereo DACs are of hi-fi quality using a 24-bit, low-order oversampling architecture to deliver
optimum performance.
The DAC output signal can be mixed with analogue input signals from the line inputs or bypass
paths. This mix is available on speaker and headphone/line outputs.
The WM8956 has a configurable digital audio interface where digital audio playback data is fed to the
DAC. It supports a number of audio data formats including I2S, DSP Mode (a burst mode in which
frame sync plus two data packed words are transmitted), MSB-First, left justified and MSB-First, right
justified, and can operate in master or slave modes. In PCM mode A-law and µ-law companding is
supported.
The SYSCLK (system clock) provides clocking for the DACs, DSP core, class D outputs and the
digital audio interface. SYSCLK can be derived directly from the MCLK pin or via an integrated PLL,
providing flexibility to support a wide range of clocking schemes. All MCLK frequencies typically used
in portable systems are supported for sample rates between 8kHz and 48kHz. A flexible switching
clock for the class D speaker drivers (synchronous with the audio DSP clocks for best performance)
is also derived from SYSCLK.
To allow full software control over all its features, the WM8956 uses a 2 wire control interface. It is
fully compatible and an ideal partner for a wide range of industry standard microprocessors,
controllers and DSPs. Unused circuitry can be disabled via software to save power, while low
leakage currents extend standby and off time in portable battery-powered applications.

WM8956
Preliminary Technical Data
INPUT SIGNAL PATH
The WM8956 has three flexible stereo analogue input channels which can be configured as line
inputs, differential microphone inputs or single-ended microphone inputs. Line inputs and microphone
PGA outputs can be routed directly to the output mixers via a bypass path.
MICROPHONE INPUTS
Differential microphones can be connected between LINPUT1 and LINPUT2 or LINPUT3, and
between RINPUT1 and RINPUT2 or RINPUT3. Alternatively single-ended microphones can be
connected to LINPUT1 or RINPUT1.
In single-ended microphone input configuration the microphone signal should be input to LINPUT1 or
RINPUT1 and the internal non-inverting input of the input PGA should be switched to VMID.
In differential mode the larger signal should be input to LINPUT2 or LINPUT3 on the left channel, or
RINPUT2 or RINPUT3 on the right channel. The smaller (e.g. noisy ground connection) should be
input to LINPUT1 or RINPUT1.
The gain of the microphone PGAs is controlled directly via software.
The inputs LINPUT2, RINPUT2, LINPUT3 and RINPUT3 should not be connected to the boost mixer
or bypass path while operating as the non-inverting input in differential microphone configuration.

The input PGAs can be configured as differential inputs, using LINPUT1/LINPUT2 or
LINPUT1/LINPUT3, and RINPUT1/RINPUT2 or RINPUT1/RINPUT3. The input impedance to these
non-inverting inputs is constant in this configuration. Differential configuration is controlled by LMP2,
LMP3, RMP2 and RMP3 as shown in Table 3.
When single-ended configuration is selected, the non-inverting input of the PGA is connected to
VMID.

Table 3 Input PGA Control
INPUT PGA VOLUME CONTROLS
The input PGAs have a gain range from -17.25dB to +30dB in 0.75dB steps. The gains from the
inverting inputs (LINPUT1 and RINPUT1) to the PGA outputs and from the non-inverting inputs
(LINPUT2/RINPUT2 and LINPUT3/RINPUT3) to the PGA output are always common in differential
configuration and controlled by the register bits LINVOL[5:0] and RINVOL[5:0].
The left and right input PGAs can be independently muted using the LINMUTE and RINMUTE
register bits.
To allow simultaneous volume updates of left and right channels, PGA gains are not altered until a 1
is written to the IPVU bit.
To prevent "zipper noise", a zero-cross function is provided, so that when enabled, volume updates
will not take place until a zero-crossing is detected. In the event of a long period without zerocrossings, a timeout function is available. When this function is enabled (using the TOEN register
bit), the volume will update automatically after a timeout. The timeout period is set by TOCLKSEL.
Note that an MCLK must be input to the device and SYSCLK running internally to use the timeout
function.

LINE INPUTS
Two pairs of stereo line inputs (LINPUT2 / RINPUT2 and LINPUT3 / RINPUT3) are available as
analogue inputs into the output mixers via the bypass paths.
See "Output Signal Path" for more information on the bypass paths.
INPUT BOOST
The boost stage in the input path can mix signals from the microphone PGAs and the line inputs.
The boost stage can provide up to +29dB additional gain from the microphone PGA output, providing
a total maximum available analogue gain of +59dB from microphone to output mixers. The
microphone PGA path to the boost mixer is muted using LINMUTE and RINMUTE as shown in Table
4. Microphone PGA to boost gain settings are shown in Table 5.

MICROPHONE BIASING CIRCUIT
The MICBIAS output provides a low noise reference voltage suitable for biasing electret type
microphones and the associated external resistor biasing network. Refer to the Applications
Information section for recommended external components. The MICBIAS voltage can be altered via
the MBSEL register bit. When MBSEL=0, MICBIAS=0.9*AVDD and when MBSEL=1,
MICBIAS=0.65*AVDD. The output can be enabled or disabled using the MICB control bit.

OUTPUT SIGNAL PATH
The hi-fi DACs and DAC digital filters are enabled by register bits DACL and DACR. The mixers and
output drivers can be separately enabled by individual control bits (see Analogue Outputs). Thus it is
possible to utilise the analogue mixing and amplification provided by the WM8956, irrespective of
whether the DACs are enabled or not.
The WM8956 DACs receive digital input data on the DACDAT pin. The digital filter block processes
the data to provide the following functions:
ƒ
ƒ
Digital volume control with soft mute and soft un-mute
Mono mix
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
3D stereo enhancement
De-emphasis
Sigma-delta modulation
High performance sigma-delta 24-bit audio DAC converts the digital data into an analogue signal.
The analogue outputs from the DACs can then be mixed with the analogue line inputs. This mix is
fed to the output drivers for headphone or speaker output. OUT3 can provide a mono mix of left and
right mixers or a pseudo-ground for capless headphone drive.
DIGITAL PLAYBACK (DAC) PATH
Digital data is passed to the WM8956 via the flexible audio interface to the hi-fi DACs. The DACs are
enabled by the DACL and DACR register bits.

DIGITAL DAC VOLUME CONTROL
The signal volume from each DAC can be controlled digitally. The gain and attenuation range is –
127dB to 0dB in 0.5dB steps. The level of attenuation for an eight-bit code X is given by:
0.5 × (X-255) dB for 1 ≤ X ≤ 255;
MUTE for X = 0
The DACVU control bit controls the loading of digital volume control data. When DACVU is set to 0,
the LDACVOL or RDACVOL control data is loaded into an intermediate register, but the actual gain
does not change. Both left and right gain settings are updated simultaneously when DACVU is set to
1.
See "Volume Updates" for more information on volume update bits.

DAC SOFT MUTE AND SOFT UN-MUTE
The WM8956 also has a soft mute function, which, when enabled, gradually attenuates the volume of
the digital signal to zero. When soft mute is disabled, the gain will either gradually ramp back up to
the digital gain setting, or return instantly to the digital gain setting, depending on the DACSMM
register bit.
The DAC is soft-muted by default. To play back an audio signal, this function must first be disabled
by setting the DACMU bit to zero.
DACSMM would typically be enabled when using soft mute during playback of audio data so that
when soft mute is then disabled, the sudden volume increase will not create pop noise by jumping
immediately to the previous volume level (e.g. resuming playback after pausing during a track).
DACSMM would typically be disabled when un-muting at the start of a digital music file, so that the
first part of the track is not attenuated (e.g. when starting playback of a new track, or resuming
playback after pausing between tracks).

DAC OUTPUT PHASE AND MONO MIXING
The digital audio data is converted to oversampled bit streams in the on-chip, true 24-bit digital
interpolation filters. The bitstream data enters two multi-bit, sigma-delta DACs, which convert them to
high quality analogue audio signals. The multi-bit DAC architecture reduces high frequency noise and
sensitivity to clock jitter. It also uses a Dynamic Element Matching technique for high linearity and
low distortion.
In normal operation, the left and right channel digital audio data is converted to analogue in two
separate DACs. There is a mono-mix mode where the two audio channels are mixed together
digitally and then converted to analogue using only one DAC, while the other DAC is switched off.
The mono-mix signal can be selected to appear on both analogue output channels. The mono mix is
automatically attenuated by 6dB to prevent clipping.
The DAC output defaults to non-inverted. Setting DACPOL[0] bit will invert the left DAC output phase
and setting DACPOL[1] bit will invert the right DAC output phase.

ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
HP_L AND HP_R OUTPUTS
The HP_L and HP_R pins can drive a 16Ω or 32Ω headphone or a line output (see Headphone
Output and Line Output sections, respectively). The signal volume on HP_L and HP_R can be
independently adjusted under software control by writing to LOUT1VOL and ROUT1VOL,
respectively. Note that gains over 0dB may cause clipping if the signal is large. Any gain setting
below 0101111 (minimum) mutes the output driver. The corresponding output pin remains at the
same DC level (the reference voltage on the VREF pin), so that no click noise is produced when
muting or un-muting.
A zero cross detect on the analogue output may also be enabled when changing the gain setting to
minimize audible clicks and zipper noise as the gain updates. If zero cross is enabled a timeout is
also available to update the gain if a zero cross does not occur. This function may be enabled by
setting TOEN in register R23 (17h). The timeout period is set by TOCLKSEL. Note that SYSCLK
must be enabled to use this function.

CLASS D SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The SPK_LP/SPK_LN and SPK_RP/SPK_RN output pins are class D speaker drivers. Each pair is
independently controlled and can drive an 8Ω BTL speaker (see Speaker Output section). Output
mixer volume is relative to AVDD, while an additional boost stage is available to accommodate
higher SPKVDD1/SPKVDD2 supply voltages. This allows AVDD to be run at a lower voltage to save
power, while maximum output power can be delivered to the load, utilising the full range of
SPKVDD1/SPKVDD2. Note that the BTL speaker connection provides an additional +6dB gain at the
output.

To avoid clipping at speaker ground, ACGAIN should not be greater than DCGAIN.
To avoid clipping at speaker supply, SPKVDD1 and SPKVDD2 must be high enough to support the
peak output voltage when using DCGAIN and ACGAIN functions. The peak output voltage is
AVDD*(DCGAIN+ACGAIN)/2.
DCGAIN should normally be set to the same value as ACGAIN.

Each analogue output of the WM8956 can be independently enabled or disabled. The analogue
mixer associated with each output is powered on or off along with the output pin. All outputs are

Preliminary Technical Data
The speaker output enable bits SPK_OP_EN[1:0] should not be enabled until there is a valid
switching clock to drive the class D outputs. This means that SYSCLK must be active, and DCLKDIV
set to an appropriate value to produce a class D clock of between 700kHz and 800kHz for best
performance (See "Class D Speaker Outputs" and "Clocking and Sample Rates" sections for more
information).
Whenever an analogue output is disabled, it remains connected to VREF through a resistor. This
helps to prevent pop noise when the output is re-enabled. The resistance between VREF and each
output can be controlled using the VROI bit in register 27. If a high impedance is desired for disabled
outputs, VROI can then be set to 1, increasing the resistance to about 20kΩ.

response. Smaller capacitance values will diminish the bass response. Assuming a 32Ω load and
C1, C2 = 100µF:
fc = 1 / 2π RLC1 = 1 / (2π x 32Ω x 100µF) = 50 Hz
In the DC coupled configuration, the headphone “ground” is connected to the OUT3 pin, which must
be enabled by setting OUT3 = 1 and muted by setting L2MO=0 and R2MO=0. As the OUT3 pin
produces a DC voltage of AVDD/2 (=VREF), there is no DC offset between HP_L/HP_R and OUT3,
and therefore no DC blocking capacitors are required. This saves space and material cost in portable
applications.
It is recommended to connect the DC coupled headphone outputs only to headphones, and not to
the line input of another device. Although the built-in short circuit protection will prevent any damage
to the headphone outputs, such a connection may be noisy, and may not function properly if the
other device is grounded.

CLASS D SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The class D speaker outputs SPK_LN/SPK_LP and SPK_RN/SPK_RP can drive 1W into 8Ω BTL
speakers. Class D outputs reduce power consumption and maximise efficiency by reducing power
dissipated in the output drivers, delivering most of the power directly to the load. This is achieved by
pulse width modulation (PWM) of a high frequency square wave, allowing the audio signal level to be
set by controlling the pulse width. The frequency of the output waveform is controlled by DCLKDIV,
and is derived from SYSCLK.
When the speakers are close to the device (typically less than about 100mm) the internal filtering
effects of the speaker can be used. Where signals are routed over longer distances, it is
recommended to use additional passive filtering, positioned close to the WM8956, to reduce EMI.
See "Applications Information" for more information on EMI reduction.

VOLUME UPDATES
Volume settings will not be applied to input or output PGAs until a '1' is written to one of the update
bits (IPVU, OUT1VU, SPKVU bits). This is to allow left and right channels to be updated at the same
time, as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16 Simultaneous Left and Right Volume Updates
If the volume is adjusted while the signal is a non-zero value, an audible click can occur as shown in
Figure 17.
Figure 17 Click Noise During Volume Update
In order to prevent this click noise, a zero cross function is provided. When enabled, this will cause
the PGA volume to update only when a zero crossing occurs, minimising click noise as shown in
Figure 18.

HEADPHONE JACK DETECT
The GPIO1, LINPUT3/JD2 and RINPUT3/JD3 pins can be selected as headphone jack detect inputs
to automatically disable the speaker output and enable the headphone output e.g. when a
headphone is plugged into a jack socket. In this mode, enabled by setting HPSWEN, the headphone
detect input pin switches between headphone and speaker outputs (e.g. when the pin is connected to
a mechanical switch in the headphone socket to detect plug-in). The HPSEL[1:0] bits select the input
pin used for this function. The HPSWPOL bit reverses the pin’s polarity. Note that the LOUT1,
ROUT1, SPKL and SPKR bits in register 26 must also be set for headphone and speaker output (see
Table 23 and Table 24).
TOEN must also be set to enable the clock which is used for de-bouncing the jack detect input.
TOCLKSEL selects a fast or slow de-bounce period. Note that SYSCLK must be enabled to use this
function.
When using capless mode, the OUT3CAP bit should be enabled so that OUT3 is enabled/disabled at
the same time as HP_L and HP_R to prevent pop noise.
The debounced headphone detect signal can also be output to the GPIO1 pin (See GPIO section).
This function is not available when using GPIO1 as an input.
When using the GPIO1 pin as a headphone detect input, the ALRCGPIO register bit needs to be set
to 1 (See GPIO section for more information).
Note:
When LINPUT3 or RINPUT3 is used as the headphone detect input, the thresholds become CMOS
levels (0.3 AVDD / 0.7 AVDD).

THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The speaker and headphone outputs can drive very large currents. To protect the WM8956 from
overheating a thermal shutdown circuit is included and is enabled by default. If the device
temperature reaches approximately 1500C and the thermal shutdown circuit is enabled (TSDEN = 1;
TSENSEN = 1) the speaker and headphone amplifiers (HP_L, HP_R, SPK_LP, SPK_LN, SPK_RP,
SPK_RN and OUT3) will be disabled. This feature can be disabled to save power when the device is
in standby mode.
TSENSEN must be set to 1 to enable the temperature sensor when using the TSDEN thermal
shutdown function. The output of the temperature sensor can also be output to the GPIO1 pin.

DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE
The digital audio interface is used for inputting DAC data into the WM8956. It uses three pins:
DACDAT: DAC data input
DACLRC: DAC data alignment clock
BCLK: Bit clock, for synchronisation
The clock signals BCLK and DACLRC can be outputs when the WM8956 operates as a master, or
inputs when it is a slave (see Master and Slave Mode Operation, below).
Four different audio data formats are supported:
•
Left justified
•
•
•
Right justified

DSP mode
All four of these modes are MSB first. They are described in Audio Data Formats, below. Refer to the
Electrical Characteristic section for timing information.
MASTER AND SLAVE MODE OPERATION
The WM8956 can be configured as either a master or slave mode device. As a master device the
WM8956 generates BCLK and DACLRC and thus controls sequencing of the data transfer on
DACDAT. In slave mode, the WM8956 responds with data to clocks it receives over the digital audio
interface. The mode can be selected by writing to the MS bit. Master and slave modes are illustrated
below.

In Right Justified mode, the LSB is available on the last rising edge of BCLK before a LRCLK

frequency and sample rate, there may be unused BCLK cycles after each LRCLK transition.

there may be unused BCLK cycles between the LSB of the right channel data and the next sample.
In device master mode, the LRC output will resemble the frame pulse shown in Figure 27 and Figure
28. In device slave mode, Figure 29 and Figure 30, it is possible to use any length of frame pulse
less than 1/fs, providing the falling edge of the frame pulse occurs greater than one BCLK period
before the rising edge of the next frame pulse.

Companding involves using a piecewise linear approximation of the following equations (as set out
by ITU-T G.711 standard) for data compression:
µ-law (where µ=255 for the U.S. and Japan):
F(x) = ln( 1 + µ|x|) / ln( 1 + µ)
-1 ≤ x ≤ 1
A-law (where A=87.6 for Europe):
F(x) = A|x| / ( 1 + lnA)
} for x ≤ 1/A
F(x) = ( 1 + lnA|x|) / (1 + lnA)
} for 1/A ≤ x ≤ 1
The companded data is also inverted as recommended by the G.711 standard (all 8 bits are inverted
for µ-law, all even data bits are inverted for A-law). The data will be transmitted as the first 8 MSB’s
of data.
Companding converts 13 bits (µ-law) or 12 bits (A-law) to 8 bits using non-linear quantization. The
input data range is separated into 8 levels, allowing low amplitude signals better precision than that
of high amplitude signals. This is to exploit the operation of the human auditory system, where louder
sounds do not require as much resolution as quieter sounds. The companded signal is an 8-bit
word containing sign (1-bit), exponent (3-bits) and mantissa (4-bits).
Setting the WL8 register bit allows the device to operate with 8-bit data. In this mode it is possible to
use 8 BCLK cycles per LRC frame. When using DSP mode B, this allows 8-bit data words to be
output consecutively every 8 BCLK cycles and can be used with 8-bit data words using the A-law
and u-law companding functions.

CLOCKING AND SAMPLE RATES
Figure 34 Clocking Scheme
Clocks for the DACs, the DSP core functions, the digital audio interface and the class D outputs are
all derived from SYSCLK as show in Figure 34.
SYSCLK can either be derived directly from MCLK, or generated from a PLL using MCLK as a
reference. The clock source is selected by CLKSEL. Many commonly-used audio sample rates can
be derived directly from MCLK, while the PLL provides additional flexibility.
The DAC sample rate is selectable, relative to SYSCLK, using DACDIV. In master mode, BCLK is
also derived from SYSCLK via a programmable clock divide (BCLKDIV).
When the GPIO1 pin is configured as a GPIO, a clock derived from SYSCLK can be output on this
pin to provide clocking for other parts of the system. The frequency of this output clock is set by
OPCLKDIV.
A slow clock derived from SYSCLK is used to de-bounce the headphone detect function, and to set
the timeout period for volume updates when zero-cross functions are used. This clock is enabled by
TOEN and its frequency is set by TOCLKSEL.
The class D outputs require a clock, and this is also derived from SYSCLK via a programmable
divider (DCLKDIV) as shown in Figure 34. The class D switching clock should be set between
700kHz and 800kHz.

PTD, July 2007, Rev 2.1

Preliminary Technical Data
The class D switching clock should not be disabled when the speaker outputs are active, as
this would prevent the speaker outputs from functioning. The class D switching clock
frequency should not be altered while the speaker outputs are active as this may generate an
audible click.
Table 31 shows the clocking and sample rate controls for MCLK input, BCLK output (in master
mode), DACs, class D outputs and GPIO clock output. Refer to Table 32 for example clocking
configurations.

Table 32 DAC Sample Rates
When operating in slave mode, the host device must provide sufficient BCLK cycles to transfer
complete data words to the DACs.
Table 33 shows the maximum word lengths supported for a given SYSCLK and BCLKDIV, assuming
that the DACs are running at maximum rate (i.e. DACDIV[2:0]=000).

Table 35 PLLEN Control Bit
The PLL frequency ratio R = f2/f1 (See Figure 34) can be set using the register bits PLLK and PLLN:
PLLN = int R
PLLK = int (224 (R-PLLN))
EXAMPLE:
MCLK=12MHz, required clock = 12.288MHz.
R should be chosen to ensure 5 < PLLN < 13. There is a fixed divide by 4 in the PLL and a
selectable divide by N after the PLL which should be set to divide by 2 to meet this requirement.
Enabling the divide by 2 sets the required f2 = 4 x 2 x 12.288MHz = 98.304MHz.
R = 98.304 / 12 = 8.192
PLLN = int R = 8
k = int ( 224 x (8.192 – 8)) = 3221225 = 3126E9h

WM8956
Preliminary Technical Data
CONTROL INTERFACE
2-WIRE SERIAL CONTROL INTERFACE
The WM8956 is controlled by writing to registers through a 2-wire serial control interface. A control
word consists of 16 bits. The first 7 bits (B15 to B9) are address bits that select which control register
is accessed. The remaining 9 bits (B8 to B0) are data bits, corresponding to the 9 bits in each control
register. Many devices can be controlled by the same bus, and each device has a unique 7-bit
address (this is not the same as the 7-bit address of each register in the WM8956).
The device address is 0011010 (0x34h).
The WM8956 operates as a slave device only. The controller indicates the start of data transfer with
a high to low transition on SDIN while SCLK remains high. This indicates that a device address and
data will follow. All devices on the 2-wire bus respond to the start condition and shift in the next eight
bits on SDIN (7-bit address + Read/Write bit, MSB first). If the device address received matches the
address of the WM8956 and the R/W bit is ‘0’, indicating a write, then the WM8956 responds by
pulling SDIN low on the next clock pulse (ACK). If the address is not recognised or the R/W bit is ‘1’,
the WM8956 returns to the idle condition and wait for a new start condition and valid address.
Once the WM8956 has acknowledged a correct address, the controller sends the first byte of control
data (B15 to B8, i.e. the WM8956 register address plus the first bit of register data). The WM8956
then acknowledges the first data byte by pulling SDIN low for one clock pulse. The controller then
sends the second byte of control data (B7 to B0, i.e. the remaining 8 bits of register data), and the
WM8956 acknowledges again by pulling SDIN low.
The transfer of data is complete when there is a low to high transition on SDIN while SCLK is high.
After receiving a complete address and data sequence the WM8956 returns to the idle state and
waits for another start condition. If a start or stop condition is detected out of sequence at any point
during data transfer (i.e. SDIN changes while SCLK is high), the device jumps to the idle condition.

POWER MANAGEMENT
The WM8956 has three control registers that allow users to select which functions are active. For
minimum power consumption, unused functions should be disabled. To avoid any pop or click noise,
it is important to enable or disable functions in the correct order (see Applications Information).
VMIDSEL is the enable for the Vmid reference, which defaults to disabled and can be enabled as a
2x50kΩ potential divider or, for low power maintenance of Vref when all other blocks are disabled, as
a 2x250kΩ potential divider.

STOPPING THE MASTER CLOCK
In order to minimise power consumed in the digital core of the WM8956, the master clock may be
stopped in Standby and OFF modes. If this cannot be done externally at the clock source, the
DIGENB bit (R25, bit 0) can be set to stop the MCLK signal from propagating into the device core. In
Standby mode, setting DIGENB will typically provide an additional power saving on DCVDD of 20uA.
However, since setting DIGENB has no effect on the power consumption of other system
components external to the WM8956, it is preferable to disable the master clock at its source
wherever possible.
MCLK should not be stopped while the class D outputs are enabled, as this would prevent the
outputs from functioning.

NOTE: Before DIGENB can be set, the control bits DACL and DACR must be set to zero and a
waiting time of 1ms must be observed. Any failure to follow this procedure may prevent DACs
from re-starting correctly.
SAVING POWER AT HIGHER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
The AVDD supply of the WM8956 can operate beteen 2.7V and 3.6V. By default, all analogue
circuitry on the device is optimized to run at 3.3V. This set-up is also good for all other supply
voltages down to 2.7V. At lower voltages, performance can be improved by increasing the bias
current by setting VSEL[1:0] = 01. If low power operation is preferred the bias current can be left at
the default setting. This is controlled as shown below.

Preliminary Technical Data
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RECOMMENDED EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
SPEAKER SELECTION
For filterless operation, it is important to select a speaker with appropriate internal inductance. The
internal inductance and the speaker's load resistance create a low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency
of:
fc = RL / 2πL
e.g. for an 8Ω speaker and required cut-off frequency of 20kHz, the speaker should be chosen to
have an inductance of:
L = RL / 2πfc = 8Ω / 2π * 20kHz = 64µH
8Ω speakers typically have an inductance in the range 20µH to 100µH. Care should be taken to
ensure that the cut-off frequency of the speaker's internal filtering is low enough to prevent speaker
damage. The class D outputs of the WM8956 operate at much higher frequencies than is
recommended for most speakers, and the cut-off frequency of the filter should be low enough to
protect the speaker.

WM8956
Preliminary Technical Data
Figure 46 Speaker Equivalent Circuit
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The efficiency of the speaker drivers is affected by the series resistance between the WM8956 and
the speaker (e.g. inductor ESR) as shown in Figure 47. This resistance should be as low as possible
to maximise efficiency.
VDD
Class D
output
Switching
Losses
VMID
GND
Losses due to resistance between WM8956 and speaker (e.g. inductor ESR)
This resistance must be minimised in order to maximise efficiency.
Figure 47 Speaker Connection Losses
The distance between the WM8956 and the speakers should be kept to a minimum to reduce series
resistance, and also to reduce EMI. Further reductions in EMI can be achieved by additional passive
filtering and/or shielding as shown in Figure 48. When additional passive filtering is used, low ESR
components should be chosen to minimise series resistance between the WM8956 and the speaker,
maximising efficiency.
LC passive filtering will usually be effective at reducing EMI at frequencies up to around 30MHz. To
reduce emissions at higher frequencies, ferrite beads placed as close to the device as possible will
be more effective.
