ASAHI KASEI
[AK4341]
OPERATION OVERVIEW
■
System Clock
The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4341, are MCLK, LRCK and BICK. The master clock (MCLK)
should be synchronized with LRCK but the phase is not critical. The MCLK is used to operate the digital interpolation
filter and the delta-sigma modulator. There are two methods to set MCLK frequency. In Manual Setting Mode (ACKS pin
= “L”, Normal Speed Mode), the frequency of MCLK is set automatically. In Auto Setting Mode (ACKS pin = “H”),
MCLK frequency is detected automatically and then the internal master clock becomes the appropriate frequency (Table
1).
The AK4341 is automatically placed in the power save mode when MCLK stops in the normal operation mode (PDN pin
= “H”), and the analog output becomes the VCOM voltage. After MCLK is input again, the AK4341 is powered up. After
exiting reset at power-up etc., the AK4341 is in the power-down mode until MCLK and LRCK are input.

Audio Serial Interface Format
The Audio data is shifted in via the SDTI pin using BICK and LRCK inputs. The DIF pin can selects two serial data
modes as shown in Table 2. In all modes the serial data is MSB-first, 2’s compliment format and latched on the rising edge
of BICK.
