A Wolfson WM9712L AC’97 audio CODEC is used to support the audio features of the
ZEUS. Audio inputs supported by the WM9712L are stereo line in and a mono
microphone input.
The WM9712L provides a stereo line out that is amplified by a National Semiconductor
LM4880 250mW per channel power amplifier, suitable for driving an 8Ω load. The
WM9712L AC’97 codec may be turned off if it is not required. See the section Audio
power management
, page 71, for details.
Connection to the ZEUS audio features is via header J4.
See the section J4 – Audio connector
