DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE
LINE OUTPUT
The analogue outputs, LOUT1/ROUT1 and LOUT2/ROUT2, can be used as line outputs.
Additionally, OUT3 and MONOOUT can be used as a stereo line-out by setting OUT3SW=11 (reg.
24) and ensuring the contents of registers 38 and 39 (mono-out mix) are the same as reg. 34 and 35
(left out mix). Recommended external components are shown below.

The DC blocking capacitors and the load resistance together determine the lower cut-off frequency,

Increasing the capacitance lowers f
diminish the bass response. The function of R1 and R2 is to protect the line outputs from damage
when used improperly.
The digital audio interface is used for inputting DAC data into the WM8973L and outputting ADC data
from it. It uses five pins:
The clock signals BCLK, ADCLRC and DACLRC can be outputs when the WM8973L operates as a
master, or inputs when it is a slave (see Master and Slave Mode Operation, below).
Four different audio data formats are supported:
All four of these modes are MSB first. They are described in Audio Data Formats, below. Refer to the
Electrical Characteristic section for timing information.
MASTER AND SLAVE MODE OPERATION
The WM8973L can be configured as either a master or slave mode device. As a master device the
WM8973L generates BCLK, ADCLRC and DACLRC and thus controls sequencing of the data
transfer on ADCDAT and DACDAT. In slave mode, the WM8973L responds with data to clocks it
receives over the digital audio interface. The mode can be selected by writing to the MS bit (see
Table 23). Master and slave modes are illustrated below.
