This pull request adds a new symbol for the WM8960 stereo audio codec. This PR contains symbol-only changes and no schematic or board modifications.

Summary of Changes

  • Added symbol for WM8960 (stereo CODEC with headphone/speaker driver and microphone input)
  • Assigned footprint: QFN-32-1EP_5x5mm_P0.5mm_EP3.6x3.6mm_ThermalVias (from standard KiCAD library)
Screenshot from 2025-07-10 21-46-28

Datasheet: WM8960 (PDF)

Notes

  • This IC will be used in a future PR as a replacement for the TAC5111 codec.
  • It will serve as the audio output (headphone/speaker) and microphone input in the system.

End-of-Life Notice

According to Cirrus Logic, the WM8960 was discontinued as of January 2024.

Despite this, we are using the WM8960 for the proof-of-concept (PoC) design due to availability and tight development deadlines. For the final hardware revision, we are likely to migrate to the WM8962B, although this is still under consideration.
