Note: An additional gain of up to 12dB can be added using the gain block embedded in the
digital peak limiter circuit (see DAC OUTPUT LIMITER section).
5-BAND EQUALISER
A 5-band graphic equaliser function which can be used to change the output frequency levels to suit
the environment. This can be applied to the ADC or DAC path and is described in the 5-BAND
EQUALISER section for further details on this feature.
3-D ENHANCEMENT
The WM8983 has an advanced digital 3-D enhancement feature which can be used to vary the
perceived stereo separation of the left and right channels. Like the 5-band equaliser this feature can
be applied to either the ADC record path or the DAC plaback path but not both simultaneously.
Refer to the 3-D STEREO ENHANCEMENT section for further details on this feature.
DAC DIGITAL OUTPUT LIMITER
The WM8983 has a digital output limiter function. The operation of this is shown in Figure 22. In
this diagram the upper graph shows the envelope of the input/output signals and the lower graph
shows the gain characteristic.
