OPERATION OVERVIEW
System Clock
MCLK (256fs/384fs/512fs), SCLK and LRCK (fs) clocks are required in slave mode. The LRCK clock input must be
synchronized with MCLK, however the phase is not critical. Table 1 shows the relationship of typical sampling frequency
and the system clock frequency. MCLK frequency, SCLK frequency, HPF (ON or OFF), the input level (CMOS or TTL)
and master/slave are selected by CKS2-0 pins as shown in Table 2.
All external clocks (MCLK, SCLK and LRCK) must be present unless PDN pin = “L”. If these clocks are not provided,
the AK5381 may draw excess current due to its use of internal dynamically refreshed logic. If the external clocks are not
present, place the AK5381 in power-down mode (PDN pin = “L”). In master mode, the master clock (MCLK) must be
provided unless PDN pin = “L”.

Note: SDTO outputs 16bit data at SCLK=32fs.
Note: The AK5381 does not support TTL interface at 96kHz.
Audio Interface Format
Two kinds of data formats can be chosen with the DIF pin (Table 3). In both modes, the serial data is in MSB first, 2’s
compliment format. The SDTO is clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK. The audio interface supports both master and
slave modes. In master mode, SCLK and LRCK are output with the SCLK frequency fixed to 64fs and the LRCK
frequency fixed to 1fs.
