[AK4637]
■ EXT Master Mode (PMPLL bit = “0”, M/S bit = “1”)
The AK4637 becomes EXT Master Mode by setting PMPLL bit = “0” and M/S bit = “1”. Master clock can
be input to the internal ADC and DAC directly from the MCKI pin without the internal PLL circuit operation.
The external clock required to operate the AK4637 is MCKI (256fs, 384fs, 512fs or 1024fs). The input
frequency of MCKI is selected by CM1-0 bits (Table 14) and the sampling frequency is selected by FS3-2
bits (Table 15). When the state of AK4637 is ADC power-down or Loopback mode, the output of BICK,
FCK and SDTO pins can be stopped by CKOFF bit. When CKOFF bit = “1”, BICK, FCK and SDTO pins
output “L”. The BICK output frequency is selected between 16fs, 32fs, 64fs, by BCKO bit (Table 17).

Table 15. Setting of Sampling Frequency (x: Do not care, N/A: Not Available)
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 16.
