WM8941
Pre Production
GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT
In 2-wire mode, the CSB pin is not required and it can be used as a GPIO pin. In the WM8941, a
separate GPIO pin is available and this can be used for GPIO in 3-wire mode. Also in 3 wire mode,
the MODE / GPIO can be configured as a GPIO by setting the MODE_GPIO register bit
Whichever pin is used for GPIO, it is controlled from the GPIO control register R8. The GPIOSEL bits
allow the chosen pin to be configured to perform a variety of useful tasks as shown in Table 53
Note that SLOWCLKEN must be enabled when using the jack detect function.

Table 53 GPIO Control
CONTROL INTERFACE
SELECTION OF CONTROL MODE AND 2-WIRE MODE ADDRESS
The control interface can operate as either a 3-wire or 2-wire interface. The MODE / GPIO pin
determines the 2 or 3 wire mode as shown in Table 54.
The WM8941 is controlled by writing to registers through a serial control interface. A control word
consists of 24 bits. The first 7 bits (B23 to B16) are address bits that select which control register is
accessed. The remaining 16 bits (B15 to B0) are register bits, corresponding to the 16 bits in each
control register.

Table 54 Control Interface Mode Selection
USE OF MODE AS A GPIO PIN IN 3-WIRE MODE
In 3-wire mode, MODE can be used as a GPIO pin. If MODE is being used as a GPIO output, the
partner device doesn’t have to drive MODE - the pin will be pulled-up internally causing 3-wire mode
will be selected. The GPIO function is enabled by setting the MODE_GPIO register bit. The MODE
pin can then be controlled using the GPIO register bits as described in Figure 41. To use MODE as
a GPIO input, MODE must be undriven or driven high at start-up. Specifically MODE must be high or
hi-Z during an initial write to the control interface which sets the MODE_GPIO register bit. After
MODE_GPIO has been set, 3-wire mode selection is overridden internally and the MODE pin can be
used freely as a GPIO input or output.
