To properly implement the WCD9341 in a hardware design, engineers must understand its internal structural routing. The codec's architecture is divided into three primary domains: Analog Input Stage
| Parameter | Value | Condition | |-----------|-------|------------| | (A-weighted) | 126 dB | 48 kHz, 0 dBFS, 3.3V supply | | DAC THD+N | -108 dB (0.0004%) | 1 kHz, 0 dBFS, 32Ω load | | Headphone Output Power | 2× 45 mW | 32Ω, 1% THD | | Headphone Output Level | 1.2 Vrms (max) | Class-H mode, 16Ω | | ADC SNR (MIC path) | 102 dB | 24-bit, 48 kHz, A-weighted | | ADC THD+N | -94 dB | 1 kHz, -3 dBFS | | Crosstalk | -110 dB @ 1 kHz | DAC to DAC, 32Ω | | Dynamic Range (DSD64) | 112 dB | DSD direct mode | | Sample rates | 8 kHz – 384 kHz | PCM; DSD64/128/256 |

154-pin Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP), designed for high-density mobile PCB layouts. To properly implement the WCD9341 in a hardware
Unlike Class-G or Class-AB, Class-H dynamically modulates the supply voltage to the output stage based on audio envelope, with (via audio DSP). Datasheet claims:
Captures pristine audio from multiple microphone inputs. Assert RESET low, wait t_RST_LOW (datasheet) 2
Due to the high fidelity of the WCD9341, layout engineers must strictly adhere to best practices for mixed-signal PCB design to avoid degradation of audio performance.
