 System Reset 
Upon power-up, the AK4648 should be reset by bringing the PDN pin = “L”. This ensures that all internal registers reset 
to their initial values. 
The ADC enters an initialization cycle that starts when the PMADL or PMADR bit is changed from “0” to “1” at PMDAC 
bits is “0”. The initialization cycle time is 1059/fs=24ms@fs=44.1kHz. During the initialization cycle, the ADC digital 
data outputs of both channels are forced to a 2’s complement, “0”. The ADC output reflects the analog input signal after 
the initialization cycle is complete. When PMDAC bit is “1”, the ADC does not require an initialization cycle. 
The DAC enters an initialization cycle that starts when the PMDAC bit is changed from “0” to “1” at PMADL and 
PMADR bits are “0”. The initialization cycle time is 1059/fs=24ms@fs=44.1kHz. During the initialization cycle, the 
DAC input digital data of both channels are internally forced to a 2’s complement, “0”. The DAC output reflects the 
digital input data after the initialization cycle is complete. When PMADL or PMADR bit is “1”, the DAC does not require 
an initialization cycle.

 Audio Interface Format 
Four types of data formats are available and are selected by setting the DIF1-0 bits (Table 17). In all modes, the serial data 
is MSB first, 2’s complement format. Audio interface formats can be used in both master and slave modes. LRCK and 
BICK are output from the AK4648 in master mode, but must be input to the AK4648 in slave mode.

In modes 1, 2 and 3, the SDTO is clocked out on the falling edge (“
↓
”) of BICK and the SDTI is latched on the rising edge 
(“
↑
”). In Modes 0 (DSP mode), the audio I/F timing is changed by BCKP and MSBS bits (Table 18).

Table 18. Audio Interface Format in Mode 0 
If 16-bit data that ADC outputs is converted to 8-bit data by removing LSB 8-bit, “
1” at 16bit data is converted to “
1” 
at 8-bit data. And when the DAC playbacks this 8-bit data, “
1” at 8-bit data will be converted to “
256” at 16-bit data 
and this is a large offset. This offset can be removed by adding the offset of “128” to 16-bit data before converting to 8-bit 
data.
