DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTER (DAC)

The WM8959 DACs receive digital input data from the DACDAT pin. 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.

The analogue outputs from the DACs can then be mixed with other analogue inputs using the output

mixers LOMIX, ROMIX and the speaker output mixer SPKMIX.

The DACs are enabled by the DACL_ENA and DACR_ENA register bits.

DAC DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL

The output level of each DAC can be controlled digitally over a range from -71.625dB to 0dB in

0.375dB steps. The level of attenuation for an eight-bit code X is given by:

0.375

× (X-192) dB for 1 ≤ X ≤ 192;

MUTE for X = 0

0dB for 192

≤ X ≤ 255

The DAC_VU bit controls the loading of digital volume control data. When DAC_VU is set to 0, the

DACL_VOL or DACR_VOL control data will be loaded into the respective control register, but will not

actually change the digital gain setting. Both left and right gain settings are updated when a 1 is

written to DAC_VU. This makes it possible to update the gain of both channels simultaneously.
