OPERATION OVERVIEW
D/A Conversion Mode
The AK4358 can perform D/A conversion for both PCM data and DSD data. When DSD mode, DSD data can be input
from DCLK, DSDL1-4 and DSDR1-4 pins. When PCM mode, PCM data can be input from BICK, SDTI1-4 and LRCK
pins. PCM/DSD mode changes by D/P bit. When PCM/DSD mode changes by D/P bit, the AK4358 should be reset by
RSTN bit, PW bit (PW1=PW2=PW3=PW4= “0”) or PDN pin. It takes about 2/fs to 3/fs to change the mode.

System Clock

The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4358, 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 =
“0”: Register 00H), the sampling speed is set by DFS0/1(Table 2). The frequency of MCLK at each sampling speed is set
automatically. (Table 3~Table 5). In Auto Setting Mode (ACKS = “1”: Default), 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 DFS0/1. When ACKSN = “H”, regardless of ACKS bit setting the AK4358 operates by Manual Setting Mode. When
ACKSN = “L”, ACKS bit setting is valid.
All external clocks (MCLK, BICK and LRCK) should always be present whenever the AK4358 is in the normal operation
mode (PDN= ”H”). If these clocks are not provided, the AK4358 may draw excess current and may fall into unpredictable
operation. This is because the device utilizes dynamic refreshed logic internally. The AK4358 should be reset by PDN =
“L” after threse clocks are provided. If the external clocks are not present, the AK4358 should be in the power-down
mode (PDN= ”L”). After exiting reset(PDN = “
↑
”) at power-up etc., the AK4358 is in the power-down mode until MCLK
is input. DSD interface signals (DCLK, DSDL1-4, DSDR1-4) are fixed to “H” or “L”.
