9. Digital AC Timing
1) Serial Interface Timing
AK2364 is connected to a CPU by three-wired interface through CSN, SCLK and SDATA pins,
which can make reading and writing data for control registers.
Serial data named SDATA is consist of 1-bit read and write instruction(R/W), 6-bit address (A5 to
A0) and 8-bit data (D7 to D0) in one frame.

: Instruction bit controls to write data to AK2364 or read back from it.
When set to low, AK2364 is in write mode. When set to high,
AK2364 is in read mode.
A5 to A0: Register address to be accessed.
D7 to D0: Write or read date to be accessed.
<1>
CSN(Chip select) is normally selected high for disable.
When CSN is set to low, serial interface becomes active.
<2>
In write mode, instruction, address and data input from SDATA pin are synchronized and
latched with the rising edge of 16 iterations of SCLK clock. Set to low between address A0 and
data D7.Input data is fixed synchronized with the rising edge of 16th clock. Note that if CSN
become “H” before 16th clock, setting data becomes invalid. During the period when CSN is
set to “L”, consecutive writing is available.
<3>
In read mode, instruction and address are synchronized and latched with the rising edge of 7
iterations of SCLK clock. And the register data are output from SDATA pin synchronized with
the falling edge of 9 iterations of SCLK clock. The data between address A0 and data D7 is
unstable. During the period when data is output, input to SDATA must be “Hi-z”. Set CSN to
“H” once reading is completed because consecutive reading is not valid.

After power-on, be sure to perform a hardware reset operation (register initialization). The
system is reset by a low pulse input of 1s (min.) and enters the normal operation state. At this
moment, the digital (DI) pins are set as follows: RSTN pin to high, SCLK pin to Low, SDATA pin

Note1: When {BAND} register is set to “0”, demodulated signal level at AUDIOOUT pin, when input
signal is f=1.5kHz dev, is 100mVrms typ. When {BAND} register is set to “1”, demodulated signal
level at AUDIOOUT pin, when input signal is f=3.0kHz dev, is 100mVrms typ.
Note2: calibration is performed synchronized with the rising edge of {CAL}. After calibration is
completed, this register is set to “0” automatically. It takes 1.3ms before calibration is completed.

14. Calibration Procedure
1) AVDD=2.6 to 3.6V operation
When you use AK2364 in AVDD=2.6 to 3.6V operation, VREFA pin is connected to AVDD pin for
power supplying. Please set LDO (Low Drop Out) power off setting. Refer to 4-1) in page 22.
AK2364 employs a function to calibrate free-running frequency of VCO in Discriminator and
demodulated signal level. Before starting RX Operation, calibration is required in order to acquire
proper VCO operation range and demodulated signal level.
Following procedure is required before calibration in LDO power off setting.
<1> Start up the external TCXO and continuously supply LO signal to AK2364.
<2> Set “11” to 0x01 {BS[1:0]} and start up all circuits. After this operation, the circuits necessary
for calibration (LOBUF, VIREF and Discriminator) will be powered on and calibration can be
possible in 500us.
<3> Calibration is begun by setting "1" to address 0x02 {CAL}. When the calibration is executed
once, the calibration operation cannot be stopped excluding master reset. Even if "0" is written
in {CAL}, the calibration is completely executed.
<4> Calibration data is maintained excluding the time when the master reset is executed or DVDD
power supply is down.
<5> It takes 1.5ms for Discriminator to become steady after the calibration is completed.

2) AVDD=3.6 to 5.5V operation
When you use AK2364 in AVDD=3.6 to 5.5V operation, please set LDO power on setting.
Refer to 4-2) in page 23.
Following procedure is required before calibration in LDO power on setting.
<1> Start up the external TCXO and continuously supply LO signal to AK2364.
<2> Set “10” to 0x01 {BS[1:0]} and start up VIREF circuits. This makes LDO set power up standby.
<3> Set “0” to 0x01 {LDOSTAT} and LDO output shortened VSS once. This makes LDO power up
time shortly.
<4> Set “1” to 0x01 {LDOSTAT} and “1” to 0x01 {PDLDON}, then LDO power is on. It takes 130ms
for AGNDIN pin output voltage to become stable.
<5> Set “11” to 0x01 {BS[1:0]} and start up all circuits. After this operation, the circuits necessary for
calibration (LOBUF,VIREF and Discriminator) will be powered on and calibration can be
possible in 500us.
<6> Calibration is begun by setting "1" to address 0x02 {CAL}. When the calibration is executed
once, the calibration operation cannot be stopped excluding master reset. Even if "0" is written
in {CAL}, the calibration is completely executed.
<7> Calibration data is maintained excluding the time when the master reset is executed or DVDD
power supply is down.
<8> It takes 1.5ms for Discriminator to become stable after the calibration is completed.

15. Recommended External Application Circuits
1) Power supply stabilizing capacitors
Connect capacitors between VDD and VSS pins to eliminate ripple and noise included in power
supply. For maximum effect, the capacitors should be placed at a shortest distance between the
pins.
