OPERATION OVERVIEW
System Clock
The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4387, 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 bit
= “0”: Register 00H), the sampling speed is set by DFS0/1(Table 1). The frequency of MCLK at each sampling speed is
set automatically. (Table 2~4). After exiting reset (RSTN pin = “
↑
”), the AK4387 is in Auto Setting Mode. In Auto
Setting Mode (ACKS bit = “1”: Default), as MCLK frequency is detected automatically (Table 5), and the internal master
clock becomes the appropriate frequency (Table 6), it is not necessary to set DFS0/1.
All external clocks (MCLK, BICK and LRCK) should always be present whenever the AK4387 is in the normal operation
mode (RSTN pin = ”H”). If these clocks are not provided, the AK4387 may draw excess current and may fall into
unpredictable operation. This is because the device utilizes dynamic refreshed logic internally. The AK4387 should be
reset by RSTN pin = “L” after threse clocks are provided. If the external clocks are not present, the AK4387 should be in
the power-down mode (RSTN pin = “L”). After exiting reset at power-up etc., the AK4387 is in the power-down mode
until MCLK and LRCK are input.
