WM8958ECS/R Integrated Circuits (ICs)

The WM8958ECS/R CODEC is a product of Wolfson Microelectronics, a leader in the development of audio solutions for portable and consumer electronics. It is a low-power, high-performance Audio CODEC specifically designed for use in portable and consumer applications. The device features an on-chip class-D ultra- efficient stereo amplifier supporting 8-Vrms output level with <1% THD+N, available in a combination of high efficiency with robust low power characteristics including shutdown and sleep modes.

The WM8958ECS/R CODEC is built on an advanced CMOS process that combines sensitive analog components with digital logic to achieve low power operation. The device includes a low-power analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with flexible sampling rate adjustment for music and audio applications. It also includes integrated digital filters that allow for flexible audio signal processing to achieve highest-level performance.

The WM8958ECS/R CODEC is ideal for use in navigation systems, gaming consoles, laptop and desktop PCs, tablets, and mobile phones. Its low power and flexible audio processing capabilities allow the user to design audio systems with the highest performance while consuming minimal power.

The WM8958ECS/R CODEC has two main operating modes. The first is the power-on state, which enables full audio signal processing including low-power modes such as shutdown and sleep. The second is the power-down state, where all audio functions are disabled and the device consumes minimal power.

The WM8958ECS/R CODEC supports several audio functions, including digital mixing and mixing for mobile multimedia, digital mixing for surround sound, audio mixing for 3D positional audio, and mixing for digital direct drive speakers. It also supports a wide range of sampling rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, and multiple ADC and DAC audio data formats.

The WM8958ECS/R CODEC can be used as an audio interface for a variety of host devices, including consumer electronics, automotive infotainment systems, and personal computing. It is easy to integrate into applications using its standard I2S interface. The device also supports a range of audio codecs, including Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Prologic IIx, as well as embedded audio solutions such as mDSP and CXD3388. The CODEC also offers a range of audio post processing features, such as EQ and level, stereo expansion, and 3D surround.

Overall, the WM8958ECS/R CODEC is an excellent choice for audio applications due to its low power,high quality, flexibility, and integration-friendly design. The device can be used to create audio systems that offer excellent audio quality, fast response times, and minimal power consumption.
