DESCRIPTION
The WM8501 is a high performance stereo DAC with an
integrated 1.7Vrms line driver. It is designed for audio
applications that require a high voltage output along with
enhanced load drive capability.
The WM8501 supports data input word lengths from 16 to
24-bits and sampling rates up to 192kHz. The WM8501
consists of a serial interface port, digital interpolation filters,
multi-bit sigma delta modulators and stereo DAC in a 14-
lead SOIC package.
The hardware control interface is used for the selection of
audio data interface format, enable and de-emphasis. The
2
WM8501 supports I S, right Justified or DSP interfaces.
Operating on separate analog and digital supplies the
WM8501 offers very lower power consumption from the
digital section, whilst supporting enhanced load drive from
the analogue output.

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-020 for Moisture Sensitivity to determine acceptable storage
conditions prior to surface mount assembly. These levels are:
MSL1 = unlimited floor life at <30C / 85% Relative Humidity. Not normally stored in moisture barrier bag.
MSL2 = out of bag storage for 1 year at <30C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
MSL3 = out of bag storage for 168 hours at <30C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level for each package type is specified in Ordering Information.
