WM8741
Production Data
In both modes the polarity of LRCLK can be switched using register bit LRP.
8FS MODE SAMPLING RATES
Since the data rate in 8FS mode is much faster than in standard PCM mode, there are restrictions on
the MCLK rate that can be used. Specifically, only 512fs and 768fs modes are permitted restricting
the sample rate to a maximum of 8x48kHz. The master clock should be synchronised with LRCLK,
although the WM8741 is tolerant of phase differences or jitter on this clock.
Unlike in normal PCM mode, the master clock detection circuit does not operate in 8FS mode. The
rate must be manually programmed using the control interface.

AUDIO INTERFACE DAISY CHAINING
In daisy chain mode the DOUT pin outputs the audio data received on the DIN pin but delayed by two
times the input word length. When this output is connected to the DIN pin of the next device in the
chain, each WM8741 device will simultaneously sample different channel data in the same LRCLK
period. Daisy chaining is only available in DSP audio interface mode and is limited by a maximum
BCLK frequency of 24.576MHz.
