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.
