The WM8918 is a high performance ultra-low power stereo DAC optimised for portable audio applications.
The device features stereo ground-referenced headphone amplifiers using the Wolfson ‘Class-W’ amplifier techniques - incorporating an innovative dual-mode charge pump architecture - to optimise efficiency and power consumption during playback. The ground-referenced headphone and line outputs eliminate AC coupling capacitors, and both outputs include common mode feedback paths to reject ground noise.
Control sequences for audio path setup can be pre-loaded and executed by an integrated control write sequencer to reduce software driver development and minimise pops and clicks via Wolfson’s SilentSwitch™ technology.
The analogue input stage can be configured for single ended or differential inputs. Up to 3 stereo microphone or line inputs may be connected. The input impedance is constant with PGA gain setting.
A stereo digital microphone interface is provided, with a choice of two inputs. The analogue or digital microphone inputs can be mixed into the headphone or line output paths.
A dynamic range controller provides compression and level control to support a wide range of portable recording applications in conjunction with the digital microphone interface. Anti-clip and quick release features offer good performance in the presence of loud impulsive noises.
ReTuneTM Mobile 5-band parametric equaliser with fully programmable coefficients is integrated for optimization of speaker characteristics. Programmable dynamic range control is also available for maximizing loudness, protecting speakers from clipping and preventing premature shutdown due to battery droop.
Common audio sampling frequencies are supported from a wide range of external clocks, either directly or generated via the FLL.
The WM8918 can operate directly from a single 1.8V switched supply. For optimal power consumption, the digitalcore can be operated from a 1.0V supply.

WM8918-6201-FL32-M-REV1用戶Mini板
The WM8918-6201-FL32-M-REV1 Customer Mini Board is compatible with the 6201-EV1-REV3 customer evaluation board and together provide a complete hardware platform for evaluation of the WM8918. The WM8918 Customer Mini Board can also be used independently and connected directly to a processor board using flying wires or appropriate headers. This document will cover both, but performance data will be based on the Wolfson system with 6201-EV1-REV3 main board.
Configurations covered are listed below:
Electrical S/PDIF DAC to headphone playback
Optical S/PDIF DAC to lineout playback
Line-in bypass to headphone output
USB streaming DAC to headphone playback
