WM8983
3D STEREO ENHANCEMENT
The WM8983 has a digital 3D enhancement option to increase the perceived separation between the
left and right channels. Selection of 3D for record or playback is controlled by register bit
EQ3DMODE. Switching this bit from record to playback or from playback to record may only be done
when ADC and DAC are disabled. The WM8983 control interface will only allow EQ3DMODE to be
changed when ADC and DAC are disabled (ie ADCENL = 0, ADCENR = 0, DACENL = 0 and
DACENR = 0).
The DEPTH3D setting controls the degree of stereo expansion.
When 3D enhancement is used, it may be necessary to attenuate the signal by 6dB to avoid limiting.

ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
The WM8983 has three sets of stereo analogue outputs. These are:
•
•
•
LOUT1 and ROUT1 which are normally used to drive a headphone load.
LOUT2 and ROUT2 – which can be used as speaker, headphone or line drivers.
OUT3 and OUT4 – can be configured as a stereo line out (OUT3 is left output and
OUT4 is right output). OUT4 can also be used to provide a mono mix of left and
right channels.
The outputs LOUT2, ROUT2 OUT3 and OUT4 are powered from AVDD2 and are capable of driving
a 1V rms signal (AVDD1/3.3) in non-boost mode and AVDD1*1.5/3.3 in boost mode.
LOUT1 and ROUT1 are supplied from AVDD1 and can drive out a 1V rms signal (AVDD1/3.3).
LOUT1, ROUT1, LOUT2 and ROUT2 have individual analogue volume PGAs with -57dB to +6dB
gain ranges.
There are four output mixers in the output signal path, the left and right channel mixers which control
the signals to headphone (and optionally the line outputs) and also dedicated OUT3 and OUT4
mixers.
