OPERATION OVERVIEW
System Clock
The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4359, 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~Table 4) 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.
In parallel mode, the sampling speed can be set by only ACKS pin. Both DFS0 and DFS1 are fixed to “0”. When ACKS
pin = “L”, the AK4359 operates by Normal Speed Mode. When ACKS pin = “H”, Auto setting mode is enabled. The
parallel mode does not support 128fs and 192fs of Double Speed Mode.
All external clocks (MCLK, BICK and LRCK) should always be present whenever the AK4359 is in the normal operation
mode (RSTB pin = ”H”). If these clocks are not provided, the AK4359 may draw excess current and may fall into
unpredictable operation. This is because the device utilizes dynamic refreshed logic internally. The AK4359 should be
reset by RSTB pin = “L” after threse clocks are provided. If the external clocks are not present, the AK4359 should be in
the power-down mode (RSTB pin = ”L”). After exiting reset(RSTB = “
↑
”) at power-up etc., the AK4359 is in the
power-down mode until MCLK is input.
