The WM8608 comprises a high performance multi-channel PWM digital power amplifier controller. Simply by adding appropriate power output stages a multi-channel power amplifier may be built. Six identical full audio bandwidth channels, plus a reduced bandwidth sub channel are provided as PWM outputs, to drive 6 speakers plus Sub. The PCM to PWM converter supports up to 7.1 channels of audio, in PCM input formats. These may be mixed down to 6.1 or 5.1 outputs, by mixing rear channel data into centre rear or surround speakers if required. If 5.1 channel data is input, the surround data may be processed internally to create a pseudo 6.1 signal with rear channel output. |
