ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC)
The WM8737L uses a multi-bit, oversampled sigma-delta ADC for each channel. The use of multi-bit
feedback and high oversampling rates reduces the effects of jitter and high frequency noise. The ADC
full-scale input level is proportional to AVDD. With a 3.3V supply voltage the full scale level is 1.0 Volt
rms (+/-1.414 Volts peak). Any voltage greater than full-scale will overload the ADC and cause
distortion.
ADC THD+N VERSUS POWER CONTROL
The ADCs can be operated in ‘normal mode’, which offers best THD+N performance at the cost of
highest power dissipation, or in ‘low power mode’ which offers significant power savings at the cost of
slightly reduced THD+N performance. The ADCs operating mode is controlled by the LP bit in register
R5. USB mode is not compatible with low power mode, so the LP bit must be set to 0 if USB mode is
selected.
See the ‘Power Consumption’ section for power requirements in both modes.

ADC DIGITAL FILTER
The ADC filters perform true 24 bit signal processing to convert the raw multi-bit oversampled data
from the ADC to the correct sampling frequency to be output on the digital audio interface. The digital
filter path is illustrated below.
