## Description

This WM8960 breakout is a low-power stereo audio codec board for adding audio input and output to digital projects. The WM8960 works as both a stereo audio ADC and DAC, using I2S for audio data while allowing settings such as I2S configuration and analogue audio routing to be controlled over I2C.The board supports a flexible mix of input sources via 6x analogue input pins, including line-level and microphone-level sources in balanced and unbalanced configurations. It can be used with sources such as a computer sound card, smartphone headphone output, electret microphones and MEMs microphones, with internal PGAs and boost stages to handle a wide range of signal levels.For outputs, the codec can drive 8Ω speakers at up to 1W per channel using the efficient stereo Class D driver, or drive 16Ω headphones at up to 40mW. It also includes pop and click suppression, automatic level control, a noise gate and optional 3D enhancement for wider stereo playback.This headered version includes pre-soldered male headers, 0.1"-spaced edge pins for breadboard use, a Qwiic connector for I2C configuration, and an Arduino library for controlling features from volume through to 3D-enhanced playback. A PWR LED indicates 3.3V power and can be disabled by cutting the LED jumper.Features:Pop and click suppression3D EnhancementStereo Class D Speaker DriverFlexible internal switching clockOn-chip Headphone DriverCapless mode supportMicrophone InterfacePseudo differential for high noise immunityIntegrated low noise MICBIASProgrammable ALC / Limiter and Noise GateLow Power ConsumptionLow Supply VoltagesOn-chip PLL provides flexible clocking schemeBuilt-In XC6222 3.3V/700mA Voltage Regulator for AVDD1x 4-pin Qwiic ConnectorLEDPWRJumpersLEDI2C3.3V/SPKVDD/VINAVDD-ISOPre-soldered Male HeadersSpecifications:DAC SNR: 98dB (‘A’ weighted), THD -84dB at 48kHz, 3.3VADC SNR: 94dB (‘A’ weighted), THD -82dB at 48kHz, 3.3VSpeaker THD: <0.1% THD with 1W per channel into 8Ω BTL speakersPSRR: 70dB PSRR @217HzEfficiency: 87% efficiency (1W output)Headphone output power: 40mW output power into 16Ω at 3.3VHeadphone THD and SNR: THD -75dB at 20mW, SNR 90dB with 16Ω loadSupply section: AnalogueAnalogue supply voltage: 2.7V to 3.6V (Speaker supply up to 5.5V)Typical analogue supply: Typically 3.3V (via 3.3V Voltage Regulator)Supply section: Digital core and I/ODigital core and I/O supply voltage: 1.71V to 3.6VTypical digital core and I/O supply: Typically 3.3V (via Qwiic or 3.3V PTH)Sample rates (kHz): 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48I2C Address: 0x1A (unshifted)I2C Pull-Up Resistors: 2.2kΩBoard Dimensions: 1.00in. x 1.60in.
