Serial Data Interface
The AK4368 interfaces with external systems via the SDATA, BICK and LRCK pins. Five data formats are available,
selected by setting the DIF2, DIF1 and DIF0 bits (Table 11). Mode 0 is compatible with existing 16-bit DACs and digital
filters. Mode 1 is a 20-bit version of Mode 0. Mode 4 is a 24-bit version of Mode 0. Mode 2 is similar to AKM ADCs and
many DSP serial ports. Mode 3 is compatible with the I
2
S serial data protocol. In Modes 2 and 3 with BICK
≥
48fs, the
following formats are also valid: 16-bit data followed by eight zeros (17th to 24th bits) and 20-bit data followed by four
zeros (21st to 24th bits). In all modes, the serial data is MSB first and 2’s complement format.
When master mode and BICK=32fs(BF bit = “0”), the AK4368 cannot be set to Mode 1 or Mode 2.
