[AK4420]
OPERATION OVERVIEW
■ System Clock
The external clocks required to operate the AK4420 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. Sampling speed and MCLK frequency are detected automatically and then the internal master
clock is set to the appropriate frequency (Table 1).
The AK4420 is automatically placed in power saving mode when MCLK and LRCK stop during normal operation mode,
and the analog output is forced to 0V(typ). When MCLK and LRCK are input again, the AK4420 is powered up. After
power-up, the AK4420 is in the power-down mode until MCLK and LRCK are input.

Table 1. system clock example
When MCLK= 256fs/384fs, the AK4420 supports sampling rate of 32kHz~96kHz (Table 2). But, when the sampling rate
is 32kHz~48kHz, DR and S/N will degrade by approximately 3dB as compared to when MCLK= 512fs/768fs.

■ Audio Serial Interface Format
The audio data is shifted in via the SDTI pin using the BICK and LRCK inputs. The DIF pin can select between two serial
data modes as shown in Table 3. In all modes the serial data is MSB-first, two’s complement format and it is latched on
the rising edge of BICK. In one cycle of LRCK, eight “H” pulses or more must not be input to the DIF pin.
