■ EXT Slave Mode (PMPLL bit = “0”, M/S bit = “0”)
When PMPLL bit is “0”, the AK4637 becomes EXT mode. Master clock can be input to the internal ADC
and DAC directly from the MCKI pin without internal PLL circuit operation. This mode is compatible with
I/F of a normal audio CODEC. The external clocks required to operate this mode are MCKI (256fs, 384fs,
512fs or 1024fs), FCK (fs) and BICK (16fs). The master clock (MCKI) must be synchronized with FCK.
The phase between these clocks is not important. The input frequency of MCKI is selected by CM1-0 bits
(Table 11) and the sampling frequency is selected by FS3-2 bits (Table 12).

Table 12. Setting of Sampling Frequency (N/A: Not Available)
(default)
The S/N of the DAC at low sampling frequencies is worse than at high sampling frequencies due to
out-of-band noise. The out-of-band noise can be reduced by using higher frequency of the master clock.
The S/N of the DAC output through SPP/SPN pins is shown in Table 13.
