DESCRIPTION
The WM8903 is a high performance ultra-low power stereo CODEC optimised for portable audio applications. The device features stereo ground-referenced headphone amplifiers using the Wolfson ‘Class W’ amplifier techniques - incorporating an innovative dual-mode charge pump
architecture - to optimise efficiency and power consumption during playback. The ground-referenced outputs eliminate headphone coupling capacitors. Both headphone and line
outputs include common mode feedback paths to reject ground noise.
