AUDIO DATA SAMPLING RATES

The master clock for WM8501 supports audio sampling rates from 128fs to 768fs, where fs is the

audio sampling frequency (LRCLK) typically 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz or 192kHz. The

master clock is used to operate the digital filters and the noise shaping circuits.

The WM8501 has a master clock detection circuit that automatically determines the relation

between the master clock frequency and the sampling rate (to within +/- 8 master clocks). If there

is a greater than 8 clocks error, the interface shuts down the DAC and mutes the output. The

master clock should be synchronised with LRCLK, although the WM8501 is tolerant of phase

differences or jitter on this clock.
