monitor the battery voltage in portable systems, the
WM9715L has two uncommitted comparator inputs.
All device functions are accessed and controlled through a
single AC-Link interface compatible with the AC’97 standard
(rev 2.2). Additionally, the WM9715L can generate interrupts
to indicate pen down, pen up, availability of touchpanel data,
low battery, and dead battery.
The WM9715L operates at supply voltages from 1.8 to 3.6
Volts. Each section of the chip can be powered down under
software control to save power. The device is available in a
small leadless 7x7mm QFN package, ideal for use in handheld 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.
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.

WM9715L
Production Data
POWER CONSUMPTION
The power consumption of the WM9715L depends on the following factors.

Supply voltages: Reducing the supply voltages also reduces digital supply currents, and therefore results in significant
power savings especially in the digital sections of the WM9715L.

Operating mode: Significant power savings can be achieved by always disabling parts of the WM9715L that are not
used (e.g. audio ADC, DAC, touchpanel digitiser).

WM9715L
Production Data
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The WM9715L is designed to meet the mixed-signal requirements of portable and wireless computer
systems. It includes audio recording and playback, touchpanel digitisation, battery monitoring,
auxiliary ADC and interrupt functions, all controlled through a single 5-wire AC-Link interface.
SOFTWARE SUPPORT
The basic audio features of the WM9715L are software compatible with standard AC’97 device
drivers. However, to better support the touchpanel and other additional functions, Wolfson
Microelectronics supplies custom device drivers for selected CPUs and operating systems. Please
contact your local Wolfson Sales Office for more information.
AC’97 COMPATIBILITY
The WM9715L uses an AC’97 interface to communicate with a microprocessor or controller. The
audio functions are largely compliant with AC’97 Revision 2.2. The following differences from the
AC’97 standard are noted:



Pinout: The function of some pins has been changed to support device specific features.
The PHONE and PCBEEP pins have been moved to different locations on the device
package.
Package: The default package for the WM9715L is a 77mm leadless QFN package.
Audio mixing: The WM9715L handles all the audio functions of a smartphone, including
audio playback, voice recording, phone calls, phone call recording, ring tones, as well as
simultaneous use of these features. The AC’97 mixer architecture does not fully support
this. The WM9715L therefore uses a modified AC’97 mixer architecture with three
separate mixers.
Tone Control, Bass Boost and 3D Enhancement: These functions are implemented in the
digital domain and therefore affect only signals being played through the audio DACs, not
all output signals as stipulated in AC’97.
Some other functions are additional to AC’97:

On-chip BTL loudspeaker driver

AUDIO INPUTS
The following sections give an overview of the analogue audio input pins and their function. For more
information on recommended external components, please refer to the “Applications Information”
section.
LINE INPUT
The LINEINL and LINEINR inputs are designed to record line level signals, and/or to mix into one of
the analogue outputs.
Both pins are directly connected to the record selector. The record PGA adjusts the recording volume,
controlled by register 1Ch or by the ALC function.
For analogue mixing, the line input signals pass through a separate PGA, controlled by register 10h.
The signals can be routed into all three output mixers (headphone, speaker and phone). Each
LINEIN-to-mixer path has an independent mute bit. When the line inputs are not used, the line-in PGA
can be switched off to save power (see “Power Management” section).
LINEINL and LINEINR are biased internally to the reference voltage VREF. Whenever the inputs are
muted or the device placed into standby mode, the inputs remain biased to VREF using special antithump circuitry to suppress any audible clicks when changing inputs.

Table 2 Line Input Control
MICROPHONE INPUT
The MIC1 and MIC2 inputs are designed for direct connection to single-ended mono, stereo or
differential mono microphone. If the microphone is mono, the same signal appears on both left and
right channels. In stereo mode, MIC1 is routed to the left and MIC2 to the right channel.
For voice recording, the microphone signal is directly connected to the record selector. The record
PGA adjusts the recording volume, controlled by register 1Ch or by the ALC function.
For analogue mixing, the signal passes through a separate PGA, controlled by register 0Eh. The
microphone signal can be routed into the phone mixer (for normal phone call operation) and/or the
headphone mixer (using register 14h, see “Audio Mixers / Sidetone Control” section), but not into the
speaker mixer (to prevent acoustic feedback from the speaker into the microphone). When the
microphone inputs are not used, the microphone PGA can be switched off to save power (see “Power
Management” section).
MIC1 and MIC2 are biased internally to the reference voltage VREF. Whenever the inputs are muted
or the device placed into standby mode, the inputs remain biased to VREF using special anti-thump
circuitry to suppress any audible clicks when changing inputs.

WM9715L
Production Data
It is also possible to use the LINEINL and LINEINR pins as a second differential microphone input.
This is achieved by setting the DS bit (register 5Ch, bit 11) to ‘1’. This disables the line-in audio paths
and routes the signal from LINEINL and LINEINR through the differential mic path, as if it came from
the MIC1 and MIC2 pins. Only one differential microphone be used at a time. The DS bit only has an
effect when MS = 01 (differential mode).

Table 3 Microphone Input Control
Note:
1.
The 20dB gain boost acts on the input to the phone mixer only. A separate microphone
boost for recording can be enabled using the BOOST bit in register 1Ah.
2.
When the LINEL and LINER are selected for differential microphone select then the
MIC1 and MIC2 input pins become disabled, these signals can therefore not be routed
internally to the device.
MICROPHONE BIAS
The MICBIAS output (pin 28) provides a low noise reference voltage suitable for biasing electret type
microphones and the associated external resistor biasing network. The internal MICBIAS circuitry is
shown below. Note that the maximum source current capability for MICBIAS is 3mA. The external
biasing resistors and microphone cartridge therefore must limit the MICBIAS current to 3mA.

PHONE INPUT
Pin 20 (PHONE) is a mono, line level input designed to connect to the receive path of a telephony
device.
The pin connects directly to the record selector for phone call recording (Note: to record both sides of
a phone call, one ADC channel should record the PHONE signal while the other channel records the
MIC signal). The RECVOL PGA adjusts the recording volume, controlled by register 1Ch or by the
ALC function.
To listen to the PHONE signal, the signal passes through a separate PGA, controlled by register 0Ch.
The signal can be routed into the headphone mixer (for normal phone call operation) and/or the
speaker mixer (for speakerphone operation), but not into the phone mixer (to prevent forming a
feedback loop). When the phone input is not used, the phone-in PGA can be switched off to save
power (see “Power Management” section).
PHONE is biased internally to the reference voltage VREF. Whenever the input is muted or the
device placed into standby mode, the input remains biased to VREF using special anti-thump circuitry
to suppress any audible clicks when changing inputs.

Production Data
AUDIO ADC
The WM9715L has a stereo sigma-delta ADC to digitize audio signals. The ADC achieves high quality
audio recording at low power consumption. The ADC sample rate can be controlled by writing to a
control register (see “Variable Rate Audio”). It is independent of the DAC sample rate.
To save power, the left and right ADCs can be separately switched off using the PD11 and PD12 bits,
whereas PR0 disables both ADCs (see “Power Management” section). If only one ADC is running, the
same ADC data appears on both the left and right AC-Link slots.
HIGH PASS FILTER
The WM9715L audio ADC incorporates a digital high-pass filter that eliminates any DC bias from the
ADC output data. The filter is enabled by default. For DC measurements, it can be disabled by writing
a ‘1’ to the HPF bit (register 5Ch, bit 3).
ADC SLOT MAPPING
By default, the output of the left audio ADC appears on slot 3 of the SDATAIN signal (pin 8), and the
right ADC data appears on slot 4. However, the ADC output data can also be sent to other slots, by
setting the ASS (ADC slot select) control bits as shown below.

RECORD GAIN
The amplitude of the signal that enters the audio ADC is controlled by the Record PGA
(Programmable Gain Amplifier). The PGA gain can be programmed either by writing to the Record
Gain register, or by the Automatic Level Control (ALC) circuit (see next section). When the ALC is
enabled, any writes to the Record Gain register have no effect.
Two different gain ranges can be implemented: the standard gain range defined in the AC’97
standard, or an extended gain range with smaller gain steps. The ALC circuit always uses the
extended gain range, as this has been found to result in better sound quality.
The output of the Record PGA can also be mixed into the phone and/or headphone outputs (see
“Audio Mixers”). This makes it possible to use the ALC function for the microphone signal in a
smartphone application.

AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL
The WM9715L has an automatic level control that aims to keep a constant recording volume
irrespective of the input signal level. This is achieved by continuously adjusting the PGA gain so that
the signal level at the ADC input remains constant. A digital peak detector monitors the ADC output
and changes the PGA gain if necessary.

Figure 3 ALC Operation
The ALC function is enabled using the ALCSEL control bits. When enabled, the recording volume can
be programmed between –6dB and –28.5dB (relative to ADC full scale) using the ALCL register bits.
HLD, DCY and ATK control the hold, decay and attack times, respectively:
Hold time is the time delay between the peak level detected being below target and the PGA gain
n
beginning to ramp up. It can be programmed in power-of-two (2 ) steps, e.g. 2.67ms, 5.33ms,
10.67ms etc. up to 43.7s. Alternatively, the hold time can also be set to zero. The hold time only
applies to gain ramp-up, there is no delay before ramping the gain down when the signal level is
above target.
Decay (Gain Ramp-Up) Time is the time that it takes for the PGA gain to ramp up across 90% of its
range (e.g. from –15B up to 27.75dB). The time it takes for the recording level to return to its target
value therefore depends on both the decay time and on the gain adjustment required. If the gain
adjustment is small, it will be shorter than the decay time. The decay time can be programmed in
n
power-of-two (2 ) steps, from 24ms, 48ms, 96ms, etc. to 24.58s.
Attack (Gain Ramp-Down) Time is the time that it takes for the PGA gain to ramp down across 90%
of its range (e.g. from 27.75dB down to –15B gain). The time it takes for the recording level to return
to its target value therefore depends on both the attack time and on the gain adjustment required. If
the gain adjustment is small, it will be shorter than the attack time. The attack time can be
n
programmed in power-of-two (2 ) steps, from 6ms, 12ms, 24ms, etc. to 6.14s.
When operating in stereo, the peak detector takes the maximum of left and right channel peak values,
and any new gain setting is applied to both left and right PGAs, so that the stereo image is preserved.
However, the ALC function can also be enabled on one channel only. In this case, only one PGA is
controlled by the ALC mechanism, while the other channel runs independently with its PGA gain set
through the control register.

MAXIMUM GAIN
The MAXGAIN register sets the maximum gain value that the PGA can be set to whilst under the
control of the ALC. This has no effect on the PGA when ALC is not enabled.
PEAK LIMITER
To prevent clipping when a large signal occurs just after a period of quiet, the ALC circuit includes a
limiter function. If the ADC input signal exceeds 87.5% of full scale (–1.16dB), the PGA gain is
ramped down at the maximum attack rate (as when ATK = 0000), until the signal level falls below
87.5% of full scale. This function is automatically enabled whenever the ALC is enabled.
(Note: If ATK = 0000, then the limiter makes no difference to the operation of the ALC. It is designed
to prevent clipping when long attack times are used).
NOISE GATE
When the signal is very quiet and consists mainly of noise, the ALC function may cause “noise
pumping”, i.e. loud hissing noise during silence periods. The WM9715L has a noise gate function that
prevents noise pumping by comparing the signal level at the input pins (i.e. before the record PGA)
against a noise gate threshold, NGTH. Provided that the noise gate function is enabled (NGAT = 1),
the noise gate cuts in when:

Signal level at ADC [dB] < NGTH [dB] + PGA gain [dB] + Mic Boost gain [dB]
This is equivalent to:

Signal level at input pin [dB] < NGTH [dB]
The PGA gain is then held constant (preventing it from ramping up as it normally would when the
signal is quiet). If the NGG bit is set, the ADC output is also muted when the noise gate cuts in.
The table below summarises the noise gate control register. The NGTH control bits set the noise gate
threshold with respect to the ADC full-scale range. The threshold is adjusted in 1.5dB steps. Levels
at the extremes of the range may cause inappropriate operation, so care should be taken with set–up
of the function. Note that the noise gate only works in conjunction with the ALC function, and always
operates on the same channel(s) as the ALC (left, right, both, or none).

STEREO DAC
The WM9715L has a stereo sigma-delta DAC that achieves high quality audio playback at low power
consumption. Digital tone control, adaptive bass boost and 3-D enhancement functions operate on
the digital audio data before it is passed to the stereo DAC. (Contrary to the AC’97 specification, they
have no effect on analogue input signals or signals played through the auxiliary DAC. Nevertheless,
the ID2 and ID5 bits in the reset register, 00h, are set to ‘1’ to indicate that the WM9715L supports
tone control and bass boost.)
The DAC output has a PGA for volume control. The DAC sample rate can be controlled by writing to a
control register (see “Variable Rate Audio”). It is independent of the ADC sample rate. The left and
right DACs can be separately powered down using the PD13 and PD14 control bits, whereas the PR1
bit disables both DACs (see “Power Management” section).

TONE CONTROL / BASS BOOST
The WM9715L provides separate controls for bass and treble with programmable gains and filter
characteristics. This function operates on digital audio data before it is passed to the audio DACs.
Bass control can take two different forms:

Linear bass control: bass signals are amplified or attenuated by a user programmable
gain. This is independent of signal volume, and very high bass gains on loud signals may
lead to signal clipping.

Adaptive bass boost: The bass volume is amplified by a variable gain. When the bass
volume is low, it is boosted more than when the bass volume is high. This method is
recommended because it prevents clipping, and usually sounds more pleasant to the
human ear.
Treble control applies a user programmable gain, without any adaptive boost function.
Treble, linear bass and 3D enhancement can all produce signals that exceed full-scale. In order to
avoid limiting under these conditions, it is recommended to set the DAT bit to attenuate the digital
input signal by 6dB. The gain at the outputs should be increased by 6dB to compensate for the
attenuation. Cut-only tone adjustment and adaptive bass boost cannot produce signals above fullscale and therefore do not require the DAT bit to be set.

AUXILIARY DAC
AUXDAC is a simple 12-bit mono DAC. It can be used to generate DC signals (with the numeric input
written into a control register), or AC signals such as telephone-quality ring tones or system beeps
(with the input signal supplied through an AC-Link slot). In AC mode (XSLE = 1), the input data is
binary offset coded; in DC mode (XSLE = 0), there is no offset.
The analogue output of AUXDAC is routed directly into the output mixers. The signal gain into each
mixer can be adjusted at the mixer inputs using control register 12h. In slot mode (XSLE = 1), the
AUXDAC also supports variable sample rates (See “Variable Rate Audio” section).
When the auxiliary DAC is not used, it can be powered down by setting AXE = 0. This is also the
default setting.

Note that at low DCVDD voltages, the output range of the AUXDAC becomes limited, so that its
maximum RMS output voltage is the lesser of:
(DCVDD-0.7) / √2 Vrms
or AVDD / 3.3 Vrms
Under these circumstances, the AUXDAC cannot convert high digital input values to the correct
analogue equivalent; its digital input range must therefore be limited accordingly. If necessary, this
limitation can be circumvented by setting gains for the AUXDAC signal in register 12h, or by using a
higher DCVDD voltage.

EAR SPEAKER OUTPUT – OUT3
Pin 37 (OUT3) has a buffer that can drive load impedances down to 16. It can be used to:

Drive an ear speaker (phone receiver). The speaker can be connected differentially
between OUT3 and HPOUTL, or in single-ended configuration (OUT3 to HPGND). The
ear speaker output is produced by the headphone mixer. The right signal must be
inverted (OUT3INV = 1), so that the left and right channel are mixed to mono in the
speaker [L–(-R) = L+R].

Eliminate the DC blocking capacitors on HPOUTL and HPOUTR. In this configuration,
OUT3 produces a buffered midrail voltage (AVDD/2) and is connected to the headphone
socket’s ground pin (see “Applications Information”)
Produce the inverse of the MONOOUT signal, for a differential mono output.

Note: OUT3 can only handle one of the above functions at any given time.

LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS – LOUT2 AND ROUT2
The LOUT2 and ROUT2 outputs are designed to differentially drive an 8 mono speaker. They can
also be used as a stereo line-out or headphone output.
For speaker drive, the LOUT2 signal must be inverted (INV = 1), so that the left and right channel are
added up in the speaker [R–(-L) = R+L].

PHONE OUTPUT (MONOOUT)
The MONOOUT output (pin 33) is intended for connection to the TX side of a wireless chipset. The
signal is generated in a dedicated mono mixer; it is not necessarily a mono mix of the stereo outputs
HPOUTL/R or LOUT2/ROUT2 (see “Audio Mixers” section).
The MONOOUT volume can be controlled by writing to register 06h. When MONOOUT is not used,
the output buffer can be disabled to save power (see “Power Management” section). The MONOOUT
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.

DIGITAL AUDIO (SPDIF) OUTPUT
The WM9715L supports the SPDIF standard using the SPDIF_OUT pin as its output.
Register 3Ah is a read/write register that controls SPDIF functionality and manages bit fields
propagated as channel status (or sub-frame in the V case). With the exception of V, this register
should only be written to when the SPDIF transmitter is disabled (SPDIF bit in register 2Ah is ‘0’).
Once the desired values have been written to this register, the contents should be read back to
ensure that the sample rate in particular is supported, then SPDIF validity bit SPCV in register 2Ah
should be read to ensure the desired configuration is valid. Only then should the SPDIF enable bit in
register 2Ah be set. This ensures that control and status information start up correctly at the
beginning of SPDIF transmission.

HEADPHONE MIXER
The headphone mixer drives the HPOUTL and HPOUTR outputs. It also drives OUT3, if this pin is
connected to an ear speaker (phone receiver). The following signals can be mixed into the
headphone path:

PHONE (controlled by register 0Ch, see “Audio Inputs”)


LINE_IN (controlled by register 10h, see “Audio Inputs”)
the output of the Record PGA (see “Audio ADC”, “Record Gain”)


the MIC signal (controlled by register 0Eh, see “Audio Inputs”)


PC_BEEP (controlled by register 0Ah, see “Audio Inputs”)
the AUXDAC signal (controlled by register 12h, see “Auxiliary DAC”)
In a typical smartphone application, the headphone signal is a mix of PHONE and sidetone (for phone
calls) and the stereo DAC signal (for music playback).

VARIABLE RATE AUDIO / SAMPLE RATE CONVERSION
By using an AC’97 Rev2.2 compliant audio interface, the WM9715L can record and playback at all
commonly used audio sample rates, and offer full split-rate support (i.e. the DAC, ADC and AUXDAC
sample rates are completely independent of each other – any combination is possible).
The default sample rate is 48kHz. If the VRA bit in register 2Ah is set and the appropriate block is
enabled, then other sample rates can be selected by writing to registers 2Ch, 32h and 2Eh. The ACLink continues to run at 48k frames per second irrespective of the sample rate selected. However, if
the sample rate is less than 48kHz, then some frames do not carry an audio sample.

TOUCHPANEL INTERFACE
The WM9715L includes a touchpanel driver and digitiser circuit for use with 4-wire or 5-wire resistive
touchpanels. The following functions are implemented:


X co-ordinate measurement
Y co-ordinate measurement


Pen down detection, with programmable sensitivity
Touch pressure measurement (4-wire touchpanel only)

Auxiliary measurement from COMP1/AUX1 (pin 29), COMP2/AUX2 (pin 30), BMON/AUX3
(pin 31), or WIPER/AUX4 (pin 12)
The touchpanel digitiser uses a very low power, 12-bit successive approximation type ADC. The
same ADC can also be used for battery and auxiliary measurements (see the “Battery Alarm and
Battery Measurement” and “Auxiliary ADC Inputs” sections).
An on-chip switch matrix connects each touchpanel terminal to the supply voltage TPVDD, to ground
(TPGND), or to the ADC input, as required.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION - FOUR-WIRE TOUCHPANEL



Left side contact = X- (pin 16)
Top side contact = Y+ (pin 15)

Bottom side contact = Y- (pin 17)
PD, Rev 4.1, November 2011
38
WM9715L
Production Data
The principle of operation is illustrated below (Note: the illustrations assume that the top plate is used
for X and the bottom plate for Y measurements, although the reverse is also possible).
Figure 6 X Co-ordinate Measurement on 4-wire Touchpanel
For an X co-ordinate measurement, the X+ pin is internally switched to VDD and X- to GND. The X
plate becomes a potential divider, and the voltage at the point of contact is proportional to its X coordinate. This voltage is measured on the Y+ and Y- pins, which carry no current (hence there is no
voltage drop in RY+ or RY-).
Due to the ratiometric measurement method, the supply voltage does not affect measurement
accuracy. The voltage references VREF+ and VREF- are taken from after the matrix switches, so that
any voltage drop in these switches has no effect on the ADC measurement.
Figure 7 Y Co-ordinate Measurement on 4-wire Touchpanel
Y co-ordinate measurements are similar to X co-ordinate measurements, with the X and Y plates
interchanged.
Figure 8 Pen Down Detection on 4-wire Touchpanel
Pen down detection uses a zero power comparator (effectively a CMOS logic gate) with an internal,
programmable pull-up resistor RPU that controls pen-down sensitivity. Increasing RPU makes the
touchpanel less sensitive to touch, while lowering RPU makes it more sensitive.
w
PD, Rev 4.1, November 2011
39
WM9715L
Production Data
When the touchpanel is not being touched, no current flows in the circuit, and the PENDOWN signal
is low. When the panel is touched with a pen or finger, current flows through RPU and the panel, and
the comparator output goes high.
The PENDOWN signal can be transmitted through the PENDOWN pin (see “Interrupt Control”
section). Additionally, its state is reflected in the PNDN bit (register 7Ah, bit 15) and the interrupt logic
block (register 54h, bit 13), where it can wake the WM9715L from sleep mode (see “Interrupt Control”
section).
Figure 9 Touch Pressure Measurement on 4-wire Touchpanel
Touch pressure can be determined indirectly by measuring the contact resistance RC between the top
and bottom plates. RC decreases as the touch pressure on the panel increases. The WM9715L
measures RC by sending a constant current IP through the touchpanel and measuring the potential on
each plate. The two values are subtracted in the digital domain to obtain the potential difference,
which is proportional to RC.
To suit different types of touchpanels, the magnitude of IP can be set to either 400A or 200A using
the PIL control bit.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION - FIVE-WIRE TOUCHPANEL
Five-wire touchpanels are connected to the WM9715Las follows:


Top sheet contact = WIPER/AUX4 (pin 12)
Top left corner of bottom sheet = TL (pin 16)


Top right corner of bottom sheet = TR (pin 15)
Bottom left corner of bottom sheet = BL (pin 17)

Bottom right corner of bottom sheet = BR (pin 14)

PD, Rev 4.1, November 2011

WM9715L
Production Data
For an X co-ordinate measurement, the top left and bottom left corners of the touchpanel are
grounded internally to the WM9715, while the top right and bottom right contacts are connected to
TPVDD. The bottom plate becomes a potential divider with a voltage gradient in the X direction. The
voltage at the point of contact is proportional to its X co-ordinate. This voltage is measured on the
TOP pin and converted to a digital value by the ADC.
Due to the ratiometric measurement method, the supply voltage does not affect measurement
accuracy. The voltage references VREF+ and VREF- are taken from after the matrix switches, so that
any voltage drop in these switches has no effect on the ADC measurement.
Figure 11 Y Co-ordinate Measurement on 5-wire Touchpanel
Y co-ordinate measurements are similar to Y co-ordinate measurements. However, the voltage
gradient on the bottom plate is in the Y direction instead of the X direction. This is achieved by
grounding the bottom left and bottom right corners of the touchpanel, and connecting the top left and
top right contacts to TPVDD.
Figure 12 Pen Down Detection on 5-wire Touchpanel
Pen down detection works in a similar fashion for both 4-wire and 5-wire touchpanels (see Four-Wire
Touchpanel Operation). On a 5-wire touchpanel, all four contacts of the bottom plate are grounded,
and the top plate contact is connected to the internal programmable pull-up resistor, RPU.

INITIATION OF MEASUREMENTS
The WM9715L touchpanel interface supports both polling routines and DMA (direct memory access)
to control the flow of data from the touchpanel ADC to the host CPU.
In a polling routine, the CPU starts each measurement individually by writing to the POLL bit (register
76h, bit 15). This bit automatically resets itself when the measurement is completed.

Table 25 Touchpanel Digitiser Control (Initiation of Measurements)
In continuous mode (CTC = 1), the WM9715L autonomously initiates measurements at the rate set by
CR, and supplies the measured data to the CPU on one of the unused AC’97 time slots. DMAenabled CPUs can write the data directly into a FIFO without any intervention by the CPU core. This
reduces CPU loading and speeds up the execution of user programs in handheld systems.
Note that the measurement frequency in continuous mode is also affected by the DEL bits (see
“Touchpanel Settling Time”). The faster rates achieved when DEL = 1111 may be useful when the
ADC is used for auxiliary measurements.

The co-ordinate mode (COO = ‘1’) makes it easier to obtain co-ordinate pairs rather than single coordinates. In polling-coordinate mode (CTC = ‘0’, COO = ‘1’), the WM9715L performs an X
measurement, followed by a Y measurement, followed by an additional measurement determined by
ADCSEL, then stops. In continuous-coordinate mode (CTC = ‘1’, COO = ‘1’), the WM9715L
continuously repeats a sequence consisting of an X-co-ordinate measurement, followed by a Y coordinate measurement, followed by an additional measurement determined by ADCSEL (if ADCSEL =
000, the sequence is XYXYXY… only).
DATA READBACK
The output data word of the touchpanel interface consists of three parts:

Pen Status (1 bit) – this is also passed to the interrupt logic block, which can be
programmed to generate an interrupt and/or wake up the WM9715L on pen down (see
“Interrupt Control”).
Output data from the touchpanel ADC (12 bits)


ADCSRC: 3 additional bits that indicate the source of the ADC data. With COO = ‘0’,
ADCSRC echoes ADCSEL. However, in co-ordinate mode (COO = ‘1’), the WM9715L
schedules different types of measurements autonomously and sets the ADCSRC bits
accordingly (see “Measurement Types”).
This data is stored in register 7Ah, and can be retrieved by reading the register in the usual manner
(see AC-Link Interface section). Additionally, the data can also be passed to the controller on one of
the AC-Link time slots not used for audio functions.
To minimize CPU loading, it is recommended to use interrupt-driven methods rather than polling
routines for reading touchpanel data. However, where polling routines are used, two methods are
available for determining when a measurement has finished:

Reading back the POLL bit. If it has been reset to ‘0’, then the measurement has finished.

Reading back 7Ah until the new data appears

WM9715L
Production Data
Setting DEL to ‘1111’ reduces the settling time to zero, i.e. measurements begin immediately. This
mode is intended for fast sampling on AUX inputs. It is NOT intended for touchpanel digitisation.
There are several side-effects when DEL is set to ‘1111’:



w
Co-ordinate mode does not work, i.e. the WM9715L behaves as if COO = 0, even if COO
= 1 (see “Measurement Types”)
If X / Y co-ordinate or touch pressure measurements are selected (ADCSEL = 001, 010 or
011), then the switch matrix is constantly on, and current constantly flows in the
touchpanel. This increases power consumption in the system, and is therefore not
recommended for battery powered systems
In continuous mode (CTC = 1), setting DEL = 1111 increases the sampling rate of the
touchpanel ADC (see “Initiation of Measurements”)

AUXILIARY ADC INPUTS
The ADC used for touchpanel digitisation can also be used for auxiliary measurements, provided that
it is enabled (register 78h, PRP = 11). The WM9715L has four pins that can be used as auxiliary ADC
inputs:

COMP1 / AUX1 (pin 29)


COMP2 / AUX2 (pin 30)
BMON / AUX3 (pin 31)

WIPER / AUX4 (pin 12)
Note that pin 12 connects to the wiper of a 5-wire touchpanel wiper function. Auxiliary measurements
taken on pin 12 are only meaningful when it is not connected to a touchpanel (i.e. a 4-wire
touchpanel, or no touchpanel at all, is used). Pins 29 and 30 are also used as comparator inputs (see
Battery Alarm and Battery Measurement), but auxiliary measurements can still be taken on these pins
at any time. For the use of pin 31 see the “Battery Alarm And Battery Measurement” section, note that
the measured value from the BMON/AUX3 pin will be 1/3 of the actual value due to the potential
divider on this pin. The ADCSEL control bits select between different ADC inputs, as shown below.

BATTERY MEASUREMENT USING THE BMON/AUX3 PIN
BMON/AUX3 (pin 31) has the capability to take inputs up to 5 volts (Assuming AVDD=3.3V) by
dividing down the input signal. The internal potential divider has a total resistance of 30k. However,
it is only connected to the pin when an AUX3 measurement is requested, and remains connected for
the duration of one AC-Link frame (20.83s, assuming a 24.576MHz clock crystal is used). The
effective input impedance of BMON/AUX3 is therefore given by:
RBMON = 30k  48kHz / [BMON sampling rate]
For example, if BMON is sampled ten times per second, the effective input resistance is 30k 
48kHz / 10Hz = 144M.

BATTERY ALARM AND ANALOGUE COMPARATORS
The battery alarm function differs from battery measurement in that it does not actually measure the
battery voltage. Battery alarm only indicates “OK”, “Low” or “Dead”. The advantage of the battery
alarm function is that it does not require a clock and can therefore be used in low-power sleep or
standby modes.
Figure 13 Battery Alarm Example Schematic
The typical schematic for a dual threshold battery alarm is shown above. This alarm has two
thresholds, “dead battery” (COMP1) and “low battery” (COMP2). R1, R2 and R3 set the threshold
voltages. Their values can be up to about 1M in order to keep the battery current [IALARM = VBATT /
(R1+R2+R3)] to a minimum (higher resistor values may affect the accuracy of the system as leakage
currents into the input pins become significant).

Dead battery alarm: COMP1 triggers when VBATT < VREF  (R1+R2+R3) / (R2+R3)
A dead battery alarm is the highest priority of interrupt in the system. It should immediately save all
unsaved data and shut down the system. The GP15, GS15 and GW15 bits must be set to generate
this interrupt.

Low battery alarm: COMP2 triggers when VBATT < VREF  (R1+R2+R3) / R3
A low battery alarm has a lower priority than a dead battery alarm. Since the threshold voltage is
higher than for a dead battery alarm, there is enough power left in the battery to give the user a
warning and/or shut down “gracefully”. When VBATT gets close to the low battery threshold, spurious
alarms are filtered out by the COMP2 delay function.
The purpose of the capacitor C is to remove from the comparator inputs any high frequency noise or
glitches that may be present on the battery (for example, noise generated by a charge pump). It forms
a low pass filter with R1, R2 and R3.

Low pass cutoff fc [Hz] = 1/ (2 C  (R1 || (R2+R3)))
Provided that the cutoff frequency is several orders of magnitude lower than the noise frequency fn,
this simple circuit can achieve excellent noise rejection.

Noise rejection [dB] = 20 log (fn / fc)
The circuit shown above also allows for measuring the battery voltage VBATT. This is achieved simply
by setting the touchpanel ADC input to be either COMP1 (ADCSEL = 100) or COMP2 (ADCSEL =
101) (see also Auxiliary ADC Inputs).

WM9715L
Production Data
The WM9715L has two on-chip comparators that can be used to implement a battery alarm function,
or other functions such as a window comparator. Each comparator has one of its inputs tied to any
one of three device pins and the other tied to a voltage reference. The voltage reference can be either
internally generated (VREF = AVDD/2) or externally connected on AUX4 (pin 12).
The comparator output signals can be used to send an interrupt to the CPU via the GENIRQ pin,
and / or to wake up the WM9715L from sleep mode (see “Interrupt Control” for details).

WM9715L

COMP2 DELAY FUNCTION
COMP2 has an optional delay function for use when the input signal is noisy. When COMP2 triggers
and the delay is enabled (i.e. COMP2DEL is non-zero), then the C2I bit in register 54h does not
change state immediately, and no interrupt is generated. Instead, the WM9715L starts a delay timer
and checks COMP2 again after the delay time has passed. If COMP2 is still active, then the interrupt
bit is set and an interrupt may be generated (depending on the state of the GW14 bit). If COMP2 is no
longer active, the interrupt bit is not set, i.e. all register bits are as if COMP2 had never triggered.
Note: If COMP2 triggers while the WM9715L is in sleep mode, and the delay is enabled, then the
device starts the on-chip crystal oscillator in order to count the time delay.




ADCIRQ is a dedicated interrupt pin to indicate that AUXADC data is available for reading
(see “Touchpanel interface”)
PENDOWN is a dedicated interrupt pin to indicate that the resistive touchpanel connected
to the WM9715L is being touched (see “Touchpanel interface”)
GENIRQ is a general-purpose interrupt pin, which can indicate a number of different
events.
THE ADCIRQ PIN
In a typical use case with touchscreen measurements running continuously, “AUXADC data available”
is the most frequent type of interrupt event from the WM9715L. In the interest of minimizing software
overheads, it is recommended to use the dedicated ADCIRQ pin to transmit this type of interrupt.
The ADCIRQ output is enabled using registers 56h and 4Ch.

THE GENIRQ PIN
The GENIRQ pin transmits a logical OR of up to five individual interrupt events:


Over-temperature (see “Thermal Sensor”)
COMP1 events, e.g. dead battery alarm (see “Battery Alarm and Analogue Comparators”)


COMP2 events, e.g. low battery alarm (see “Battery Alarm and Analogue Comparators”)
ADCIRQ

PENDOWN
When the host processor receives an interrupt, it needs to read register 54h in order to determine
which event triggered the interrupt. As a result, GENIRQ is best suited for interrupts that occur rarely,
and where longer response times can be tolerated. ADCIRQ or PENDOWN interrupts should only be
transmitted through the GENIRQ pin if the dedicated interrupt pins cannot be used (e.g. if there are
insufficient pins available on the host processor).

If all the bits in registers 26h and 24h are set, then the WM9715L is in low-power standby mode and
consumes very little current. A 1M resistor string remains connected across AVDD to generate
VREF. This is necessary if the on-chip analogue comparators are used (see “Battery Alarm and
Battery Measurement” section), and helps shorten the delay between wake-up and playback
readiness. If VREF is not required, the 1M resistor string can be disabled by setting the SVD bit,
reducing current consumption further.

SAVING POWER AT LOW SUPPLY VOLTAGES
The analogue supplies to the WM9715L can run from 1.8V to 3.6V. By default, all analogue circuitry
on the IC is optimized to run at 3.3V. This set-up is also good for all other supply voltages down to
1.8V. However, at lower voltages, it is possible to save power by reducing the internal bias currents
used in the analogue circuitry. This is controlled as shown below.

UNUSED ANALOGUE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
When analogue inputs or outputs are disabled, they remain internally connected to VREF (AVDD/2)
through a large resistor. This maintains the potential at that node and helps to eliminate pops when
the pins are re-enabled.
There are several exceptions to this. Firstly, when VREF itself is disabled (PR3 = 1 in register 26h),
unused analogue pins are not held at AVDD/2. Additionally:

The MIC1 input is disconnected from VREF if all of the following register settings are
applied:
PD0 = 1 in register 24h
AND PR0 = 1 in register 26h
AND MS = 00 in register 0Eh
AND (RECSL = 000 or RECSR = 000 in register 1Ah)

The MIC2 input is disconnected from VREF if all of the following register settings are
applied:
PD0 = 1 in register 24h
AND PR0 = 1 in register 26h
AND MS = 10 in register 0Eh
AND (RECSL = 000 or RECSR = 000 in register 1Ah)

The PCBEEP input is disconnected from VREF if PR2 = 1 in register 26h

The PCBEEP input is also disconnected from VREF if the exact following register
settings are applied:
PD9 = 1 in register 24h or B2H = 1 in register 0Ah
AND (PD8 = 1 in register 24h or B2H = 1 in register 0Ah)
AND (PD7 = 1 in register 24h or B2S = 1 in register 0Ah)
AND (PD6 = 1 in register 24h or B2P = 1 in register 0Ah)
For MIC1 and MIC2, pop issues can be circumvented by disconnecting the microphone inputs from
the record selector (RECSL = RECSR = 001 in register 1Ah) in sleep or standby modes.
However, should it be necessary to maintain the VREF potential at MIC1, MIC2 or PCBEEP, this can
be achieved by choosing any suitable register settings that are not identical to those shown above.

WM9715L
Production Data
AC97 DATA AND CONTROL INTERFACE
INTERFACE PROTOCOL
The WM9715Lhas a single AC’97 interface for both data transfer and control. The AC-Link uses 5
wires:

SDATAIN (pin 8) carries data from the WM9715L to the controller


SDATAOUT (pin 5) carries data from the controller to the WM9715L
BITCLK (pin 6) is a clock, normally generated by the WM9715L crystal oscillator and
supplied to the controller. However, BITCLK can also be passed to the WM9715L from
an off-chip generator.
SYNC is a synchronization signal generated by the controller and passed to the
WM9715L
RESETB resets the WM9715L to its default state


Figure 16 AC-Link Interface (typical case with BITCLK generated by the AC97 CODEC)
The SDATAIN and SDATAOUT signals each carry 13 time-division multiplexed data streams (slots 0
to 12). A complete sequence of slots 0 to 12 is referred to as an AC-Link frame, and contains a total
of 256 bits. The frame rate is 48kHz. This makes it possible to simultaneously transmit and receive
multiple data streams (e.g. audio, touchpanel, AUXDAC, control) at sample rates up to 48kHz.
Detailed information can be found in the AC’97 (Revision 2.2) specification, which can be obtained at
http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/audio/
Note:
SDATAOUT and SYNC must be held low for when RESETB is applied. These signals must be held
low for the entire duration of the RESETB pulse and especially during the low-to-high transition of
RESETB. If either is set high during reset the AC’97 device may enter test modes. Information
relating to this operation is available in the AC’97 specification or in Wolfson applications note
WAN-0104 available at www.wolfsonmicro.com.

Table 44 External Components Descriptions
Note:
3 For Capacitors C7, C8, C10, C12 and C14 it is recommended that very low ESR components are used.
LINE OUTPUT
The headphone outputs, HPOUTL and HPOUTR, can be used as stereo line outputs. The speaker
outputs, LOUT2 and ROUT2, can also be used as line outputs, if LOUT2 is not inverted for BTL
operation (INV = 0). Recommended external components are shown below.
Figure 24 Recommended Circuit for Line Output
The DC blocking capacitors and the load resistance together determine the lower cut-off frequency,
fc. Assuming a 10 k load and C1, C2 = 10F:
fc = 1 / 2 (RL+R1) C1 = 1 / (2 x 10.1k x 1F) = 16 Hz
Increasing the capacitance lowers fc, improving the bass response. Smaller values of C1 and C2 will
diminish the bass response. The function of R1 and R2 is to protect the line outputs from damage
when used improperly.

AC-COUPLED HEADPHONE OUTPUT
The circuit diagram below shows how to connect a stereo headphone to the WM9715L.
Figure 25 Simple Headphone Output Circuit Diagram
The DC blocking capacitors C1 and C2 together with the load resistance determine the lower cut-off
frequency, fc. Increasing the capacitance lowers fc, improving the bass response. Smaller
capacitance values will diminish the bass response. For example, with a 16 load and C1 = 220F:
fc = 1 / 2 RLC1 = 1 / (2 x 16 x 220F) = 45 Hz
DC COUPLED (CAPLESS) HEADPHONE OUTPUT
In the interest of saving board space and cost, it may be desirable to eliminate the 220F DC blocking
capacitors. This can be achieved by using OUT3 as a headphone pseudo-ground, as shown below.
Figure 26 Capless Headphone Output Circuit Diagram (OUT3SRC = 10)
As the OUT3 pin produces a DC voltage of AVDD/2, there is no DC offset between
HPOUTL/HPOUTR and OUT3, and therefore no DC blocking capacitors are required. However, this
configuration has some drawbacks:



w
The power consumption of the WM9715L is increased, due to the additional power
consumed in the OUT3 output buffer.
If the DC coupled output is connected to the line-in of a grounded piece of equipment,
then OUT3 becomes short-circuited. Although the built-in short circuit protection will
prevent any damage to the WM9715L, the audio signal will not be transmitted properly.
OUT3 cannot be used for another purpose

BTL LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT
LOUT2 and ROUT2 can differentially drive a mono 8 loudspeaker as shown below.
Figure 27 Speaker Output Connection (INV = 1)
The right channel is inverted by setting the INV bit, so that the signal across the loudspeaker is the
sum of left and right channels.
COMBINED STEREO HEADSET / BTL EAR SPEAKER
In smartphone applications with a loudspeaker and separate ear speaker (receiver), a BTL ear
speaker can be connected at the OUT3 pin, as shown below.
Figure 28 Combined Headset / BTL Ear Speaker (OUT3SRC = 00)
The ear speaker and the stereo headset play the same signal. Whenever the headset is plugged in,
the headphone outputs are enabled and OUT3 disabled. When the headset is not plugged in, OUT3
is enabled. This requires the use of a headset jack with a built-in mechanical switch, connected to a
GPIO pin on the system CPU. Depending on the state of the switch, the GPIO pin is either grounded
or high (due to a pull-up resistor). Whenever the CPU detects a change in the GPIO logic level, it
should update the WM9715L registers to enable / disable the appropriate analogue outputs.
COMBINED HEADSET / SINGLE-ENDED EAR SPEAKER
Instead of a BTL ear speaker, a single-ended ear speaker can also be used, as shown below.
