The internal MICBIAS circuitry is shown in Figure 9. Note that the maximum source current capability
for MICBIAS is 3mA. The external biasing resistors therefore must be large enough to limit the
MICBIAS current to 3mA.

ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC)
The WM8940 uses a multi-bit, over sampled sigma-delta ADC channel. The use of multi-bit feedback
and high over sampling rates reduces the effects of jitter and high frequency noise. The ADC Full
Scale input level is proportional to AVDD. With a 3.3V supply voltage, the full scale level is 1.0V
rms
.
Any voltage greater than full scale may overload the ADC and cause distortion.
ADC DIGITAL FILTERS
The ADC filters perform true 24 bit signal processing to convert the raw multi-bit over sampled data
from the ADC to the correct sampling frequency to be output on the digital audio interface. The digital
filter path is illustrated in Error! Reference source not found..
