[AK4438]
■ Serial Control Interface
The AK4438’s functions are controlled through registers. The registers may be written by two types of
control modes. The internal registers are controlled in 3-wire serial control mode when the I2C pin = “L”
and the PS pin = “L”, and in I2C bus control mode when the I2C pin = “H” and the PS pin = “L”. Chip
address is determined by the CAD0 and CAD1 pins. The internal registers are initialized by setting the
PDN pin to “L”. The internal timing circuit is reset by setting RSTN bit = “0” but register values are not
initialized..
*Register writings are not available when the PDN pin = “L”.
(1) 3-wire Serial Control Mode (I2C pin = “L”)
The internal registers may be written through the 3-wire µP interface pins (CSN, CCLK and CDTI). The
data on this interface consists of a 2-bit Chip address, Read/Write (1bit, Fixed to “1”, Write only), Register
address (MSB first, 5bits) and Control data (MSB first, 8bits). Address and data are clocked in on the
rising edge of CCLK and data is clocked out on the falling edge. For write operations, data is latched after
a low-to-high transition of CSN. The clock speed of CCLK is 5MHz (max).
The internal registers are initialized by setting the PDN pin = “L”. In serial mode, the internal timing circuit
is reset by setting RSTN bit = “0” but register values are not initialized.

Figure 37. Control I/F Timing
* The AK4438 does not support read commands in 3-wire serial control mode.
* When the AK4438 is in power down mode (PDN pin = “L”), a writing into the control registers is
prohibited.
* The control data cannot be written when the CCLK rising edge is 15 times or less, or 17 times or more
during CSN is “L”.
