Rash Sahota, (right) VP and GM of ANC and Software Solutions at Wolfson Microelectronics notes of the he WM182 that it can be quickly and easily customised and branded for consumer electronics and “Wolfson developed this headset in response to customer requests and its introduction to market is a natural evolution of Wolfson’s ANC technology and semiconductor devices.”

The USB rechargeable WM182 is a cost competitive, ‘white label’ ANC headset, is ready to be re-packaged, according to customer design requirements, and delivered to the consumer in-box or as an after-market accessory.

With headphone volume levels undergoing EU review, the WM182 provides manufacturers with an ideal solution to prevent hearing damage caused by listening to loud music for extended periods, whilst delivering HD quality sound.

Audio amplifiers
The WM9090 and the WM9010 are the two latest additions to Wolfson’s world-leading audio amplifier portfolio, and will feature in a range of the world’s most highly integrated mobile phones.

Both devices provide Wolfson-quality audio and extremely low power consumption for optimal audio playback time thanks to highly efficient headphone and speaker drivers. Both devices pack in tiny CSP packages, resulting in an ultra small PCB footprint  requiring minimal external components to reduce bill of materials cost.

The WM9090 is an audio subsystem IC and features a mono Class D speaker driver, Class G capless headphone amplifier, Automatic Gain Control and two pairs of differential analogue inputs, all delivered in a small 20-ball 2.5 x 2.0 mm CSP package.

The Wolfson 'DAH' for multitasking
The world’s first digital audio hub solution for mobile phones, claimed an industry-defining WM8995 segues together many of Wolfson’s successful audio components to deliver world-class audio performance, significantly enhanced battery life, longer music playback time and more end user features at lower total cost.

Crucially, the WM8995 enables system designers to optimally manage the complex world of multiple concurrent use cases (left: the whole distracting caboodle!) where, for example, the consumer can take a hands-free call over a Bluetooth headset,  listen to music and receiving navigation commands, all at the same time and on the same handset.
