[AK4390]
OPERATION OVERVIEW
■ System Clock
The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4390, are MCLK, BICK and LRCK. 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. Sampling speed and MCLK frequency are detected automatically and then the initial master clock
is set to the appropriate frequency (Table 1). When external clocks are changed, the AK4390 should be reset by the PDN
pin or RSTN bit. After exiting reset (PDN pin = “L” → “H”) at power-up etc., the AK4390 is in power-down mode until
MCLK is supplied.
The AK4390 is automatically placed in power saving mode when MCLK and LRCK stop during normal operation mode,
and the analog output is AVDD/2 (typ). When MCLK and LRCK are input again, the AK4390 is powered up. After
power-up, the AK4390 is in the power-down mode until MCLK and LRCK are input.
The MCLK frequency corresponding to each sampling speed should be provided (Table 2).

MCLK= 256fs/384fs supports sampling rate of 30kHz~108kHz (Table 3). But, when the sampling rate is 30kHz~54kHz,
DR and S/N will degrade by approximately 3dB as compared to when MCLK= 512fs/768fs.
