OPERATION OVERVIEW (ADC/DAC part)
System Clock
The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4588, are MCLK, LRCK1 and BICK1. MCLK should be
synchronized with LRCK1 but the phase is not critical. There are two methods to set MCLK frequency. In Manual
Setting Mode (ACKS bit = “0”: Default), the sampling speed is set by DFS1-0 bit (Table 1). The frequency of MCLK at
each sampling speed is set automatically. (Table 3, 4, 5) In Auto Setting Mode (ACKS bit = “1”), as MCLK frequency
is detected automatically (Table 6) and the internal master clock becomes the appropriate frequency (Table 7), it is not
necessary to set DFS1-0 bits.
Only MCLK is necessary in the master mode. Master Clock Input Frequency should be selected by CKS1-0 bits (Table
2), and Sampling Speed should be selected by DFS1-0 bits (Table 1). The frequencies and the duties of the clocks
(LRCK1, BICK1) may not be stabile after setting CKS1-0 bits and DFS1-0 bits up.
External clocks (MCLK, BICK1, LRCK1) should always be present whenever the AK4588 is in normal operation mode
(PDN pin = “H”). If these clocks are not provided, the AK4588 may draw excess current because the device utilizes
dynamic refreshed logic internally. If the external clocks are not present, the AK4588 should be in the power-down
mode (PDN pin = “L”) or in the reset mode (RSTN1 bit = “0”). After exiting reset at power-up etc., the AK4588 is in
the power-down mode until MCLK and LRCK are input.
In the Master mode, External clock(MCLK) should always be supplied except in the power-down mode. It is in
power-down mode until MCLK will be supplied, when Reset was canceled by Power-ON and so on.
