12. Functional Descriptions
■ System Clock
The external clocks which are required to operate the AK4436 are MCLK, LRCK and BICK. MCLK should
be synchronized with LRCK and BICK but the phase is not critical. There are two methods to set MCLK
frequency. In Manual Setting Mode (ACKS bit= “0”: Default), the sampling speed is set by DFS2-0 bit
(Table 1). The frequency of MCLK at each sampling speed is set automatically (Table 2, Table 3). In Auto
Setting Mode (ACKS bit= “1”), as MCLK frequency is detected automatically (Table 4) and the internal
master clock attains the appropriate frequency (Table 5), so it is not necessary to set DFS2-0 bits.
After exiting reset at power-up (PDN pin = “L” →“H”), the AK4436 is in power-down mode until MCLK and
LRCK are input. The AK4436 is set to Manual Setting Mode at power-up (PDN pin = “L” →“H”). When
changing the clock, the AK4436 must be reset by the PDN pin or RSTN bit.
If the clock is stopped, a click noise occurs when restarting the clock. Mute the digital output externally if
the click noise affects system applications.

1. Manual Setting Mode (ACKS bit = “0”)
MCLK frequency is detected automatically and the sampling rate is set by DFS2-0 bits (Table 1). The
MCLK frequency corresponding to each sampling speed should be provided externally (Table 2, Table 3).
The AK4436 is set to Manual Setting Mode at power-up (PDN pin = “L” →“H”). When DFS2-0 bits are
changed, the AK4436 should be reset by RSTN bit.

■ De-emphasis Filter
The AK4436 has a digital de-emphasis filter (tc=50/15µs) by an IIR filter. The de-emphasis filter only
supports Normal Speed Mode. This filter corresponds to three sampling frequencies (32kHz, 44.1kHz,
48kHz). De-emphasis of each DAC can be set individually for DAC1(SDTI1), DAC2(SDTI2),
DAC3(SDTI3) by register settings.

■ Audio Interface Format
TDM1-0 bits, DIF2-0 bits, SDS2-0 bits, TDM1-0 pins and DIF pin settings should not be changed during
operation.
[1] PCM Mode
Normal Mode (TDM1-0 bit=“00”)
Six channels audio data is shifted in via the SDTI1-3 pins using BICK and LRCK inputs. Data is selected
by SDS2-0 bits. Six data formats are supported and selected by the DIF2-0 bits as shown in Table 9. In all
formats the serial data is MSB first, 2's compliment format and is latched on the rising edge of BICK. Mode
2 can be used in 16-bit and 20-bit MSB justified and Mode 6 can be used in 16-bit, 20-bit and 24-bit MSB
justified formats by zeroing the unused LSBs.
TDM128 Mode (TDM1-0 bit=“01”)
Eight channels audio data is shifted in via the SDTI1-2 pins using BICK and LRCK inputs. Data is selected
by SDS2-0 bits. The data input to the SDTI3 pin is ignored. BICK is fixed to 128fs. Six data formats are
supported and selected by the DIF2-0 bits as shown in Table 9. In all formats the serial data is MSB first,
2's compliment format and is latched on the rising edge of BICK.
TDM256 Mode (TDM1-0 bit=“10”)
Sixteen channels audio data is shifted in via the SDTI1-2 pins using BICK and LRCK inputs. Data is
selected by SDS2-0 bits. The data input to the SDTI3 pin is ignored. BICK is fixed to 256fs. Six data
formats are supported and selected by the DIF2-0 bits as shown in Table 9. In all formats the serial data is
MSB first, 2's compliment format and is latched on the rising edge of BICK.
TDM512 Mode (TDM1-0 bit=“11”)
Sixteen channels audio data is shifted in via the SDTI1 pin using BICK and LRCK inputs. Data is selected
by SDS2-0 bits. The data input to the SDTI2-3 pins are ignored. BICK is fixed to 512fs. Six data formats
are supported and selected by the DIF2-0 bits as shown in Table 9. In all formats the serial data is MSB
first, 2's compliment format and is latched on the rising edge of BICK.

■ Zero Detection
The AK4436 has channel-independent zero detection function. Zero detection channels (AOUTL1-3 and
AOUTR1-3 pins) can be selected by 07H/08H registers (L1-3 bits, R1-3 bits). When the input data at each
channel is continuously zeros for 8192 LRCK cycles, the DZF pin goes to “H”. The DZF pin immediately
returns to “L” if the input data of each channel is not zero. If the RSTN bit is “0”, the DZF pins of both
channels go to “H”. The DZF pin of both channels go to “L” after 4 ~ 5/fs when RSTN bit returns to “1”. The
DZFB bit can invert the polarity of the DZF pin. If all channels are disabled, the DZF pin outputs “Not
zero”.

■ Digital Volume Function
The AK4436 has a channel-independent digital attenuator (256 levels, 0.5dB steps). Attenuation level of
each DAC1-3 can be set by ATT7-0 bits (register 0A-11H), respectively (Table 13).

Table 13. Attenuation level of Digital Attenuator
Transition time between set values of ATT7-0 bits can be selected by the ATS1-0 bits (Table 14). The
transition between set values is a soft transition in Mode0/1/2 eliminating switching noise in the transition.

Table 14. Transition Time of Digital Volume
The transition between set values is a soft transition of 4080 levels in Mode 0. It takes 4080/fs (85ms
@fs=48kHz) from FFH to 00H. If the PDN pin goes to “L”, ATT7-0 bits are initialized to FFH.
If the digital volume is changed during reset, the volume will be changed to the setting value after
releasing the reset. If the volume is changed in 5/fs after releasing a reset, the volume is changed
immediately without soft transition.

■ Soft Mute Operation
The soft mute operation is performed at digital domain. When the SMUTE pin goes to “H” or set SMUTE
bit to “1”, the output signal is attenuated by  during ATT_DATA  ATT transition time from the current
ATT level. When the SMUTE pin is returned to “L” or the SMUTE bit is returned to “0”, the mute is
cancelled and the output attenuation gradually changes to the ATT level during ATT_DATA  ATT
transition time. If the soft mute is cancelled before attenuating , the attenuation is discontinued and
returned to ATT level by the same cycle. The soft mute is effective for changing the signal source without
stopping the signal transmission.

(2) The analog output corresponding to the digital input has group delay (GD).
(3) If the soft mute is cancelled before attenuating  after starting the operation, the attenuation is

(4) When the input data for a zero detection channel is continuously zeros for 8192 LRCK cycles, the
DZF pin goes to “H”. The DZF pin immediately returns to “L” if input data are not zero.

■ Error Detection
Three types of error can be detected in I2C mode when the LDOE pin = “H”. (Table 18).When the error is
detected, LDO is powered down and writing into the control registers is prohibited. Once the error is
detected the AK4436 does not return to normal operation automatically even if the error condition is
removed so restart the AK4436 by the PDN pin. In I2C mode, the AK4436 does not generate
acknowledge (ACK) in error status.

■ System Reset
The AK4436 should be reset once by bringing the PDN pin = “L” upon power-up. Power-down state of the
reference voltage such as LDO and VCOM will be released by PDN pin = “H” and writing into resisters is
valid in 1ms. The AK4436 is in power-down state until MCLK and LRCK input.

All DAC3-1 can be powered down immediately by setting PW3-1 bits to “000”. In this time, the analog
output goes to floating state (Hi-z). DACs will be reset and the digital block is powered down by setting
RSTN bit to “0”. In the reset state, the analog output becomes VCOM voltage if DAC is powered-up and
MCLK, LRCK and BICK are supplied (Table 19). Internal register values are not initialized by power-off or

■ Clock Synchronization
The AK4436 has a function that resets the internal counter to keep a falling edge of the internal FSI clock
is in 3/256fs from an edge of the external FSI clock. Clock synchronization function becomes valid when
data at all channels are continuously “0” for 8192 times if SYNCE bit is set to “1” during operation in PCM
mode or when RSTN bit is set to “0”. The operation clock is synchronized to a falling edge of LRCK in
PCM mode and a rising edge of LRCK in I2C mode.
The analog output becomes VCOM voltage when RSTN bit = “0” or zero data is detected. Figure 35
shows a synchronization sequence when the input data is “0” for 8192 times continuously. Figure 36
shows a synchronization sequence by RSTN bit.
(1) Clock Synchronization Sequence when Input Data is “0” for 8192 Cycles Continuously
The DZF pin goes to “H” and the synchronization function becomes enabled when input data is “0” for

(2) Internal data is fixed to “0” for 4~5/fs forcibly when the internal counter is reset.
(3) The analog output corresponding to digital input has group delay (GD). It is recommended that
when writing “0” data to RSTN bit, “0” period should be longer than the GD period.
(4) It takes 3~4/fs to fall down and 2~3/fs to rise up for the internal RSTN signal from RSTN bit writing.
There is a case that the internal counter is reset before internal RSTN bit is changed to “1” since the
synchronization function becomes enabled immediately by setting RSTN bit = “0”.
(5) A click noise occurs by an internal RSTN signal edge or an internal counter reset. This noise is
output even if “0” data is input. Mute the analog output externally if the click noise adversely affects
the system performance.

■ Serial Control Interface
The AK4436’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.

(2) I2C-bus Control Mode (I2C pin = “H”)
The AK4436 supports the fast-mode I2C-bus (max: 400kHz, Ver1.0).
(2)-1. WRITE Operations
Figure 38 shows the data transfer sequence of the I2C-bus mode. All commands are preceded by a
START condition. A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH indicates a START
condition (Figure 44). After the START condition, a slave address is sent. This address is 7 bits long
followed by the eighth bit that is a data direction bit (R/W). The most significant five bits of the slave
address are fixed as “00100”. The next bits are CAD1-0 (device address bits). These bits identify the
specific device on the bus. The hard-wired input pins (CAD1-0 pins) set these device address bits (Figure
39). If the slave address matches that of the AK4436, the AK4436 generates an acknowledge and the
operation is executed. The master must generate the acknowledge-related clock pulse and release the
SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse (Figure 45). R/W bit = “1” indicates that the read
operation is to be executed. “0” indicates that the write operation is to be executed.
The second byte consists of the control register address of the AK4436. The format is MSB first, and
those most significant 3-bits are fixed to zeros (Figure 40). The data after the second byte contains control
data. The format is MSB first, 8bits (Figure 41). The AK4436 generates an acknowledge after each byte is
received. Data transfer is always terminated by a STOP condition generated by the master. A LOW to
HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines STOP condition (Figure 44).
The AK4436 can perform more than one byte write operation per sequence. After receipt of the third byte
the AK4436 generates an acknowledge and awaits the next data. The master can transmit more than one
byte instead of terminating the write cycle after the first data byte is transferred. After receiving each data
packet the internal address counter is incremented by one, and the next data is automatically taken into
the next address. If the address exceeds “14H” prior to generating a stop condition, the address counter
will “roll over” to “00H” and the previous data will be overwritten.
The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock. The HIGH or LOW state
of the data line can only be changed when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW (Figure 46) except for
the START and STOP conditions.

(2)-2. READ Operations
Set the R/W bit = “1” for the READ operation of the AK4436. After transmission of data, the master can
read the next address’s data by generating an acknowledge instead of terminating the write cycle after
the receipt of the first data word. After receiving each data packet the internal address counter is
incremented by one, and the next data is automatically taken into the next address. If the address
exceeds “14H” prior to generating stop condition, the address counter will “roll over” to “00H” and the data
of “00H” will be read out.
The AK4436 supports two basic read operations: Current Address Read and Random Address Read.
(2)-2-1. Current Address Read
The AK4436 contains an internal address counter that maintains the address of the last word accessed,
incremented by one. Therefore, if the last access (either a read or write) was to address “n”, the next
CURRENT READ operation would access data from the address “n+1”. After receipt of the slave address
with R/W bit “1”, the AK4436 generates an acknowledge, transmits 1-byte of data to the address set by
the internal address counter and increments the internal address counter by 1. If the master does not
generate an acknowledge but generates a stop condition instead, the AK4436 ceases transmission.

(2)-2-2. Random Address Read
The random read operation allows the master to access any memory location at random. Prior to issuing
a slave address with the R/W bit =“1”, the master must execute a “dummy” write operation first. The
master issues a start request, a slave address (R/W bit = “0”) and then the register address to read. After
the register address is acknowledged, the master immediately reissues the start request and the slave
address with the R/W bit =“1”. The AK4436 then generates an acknowledge, 1 byte of data and
increments the internal address counter by 1. If the master does not generate an acknowledge but
generates a stop condition instead, the AK4436 ceases transmission.

1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
The AK4436 requires careful attention to power supply and grounding arrangements. AVDD and TVDD
are usually supplied from the analog supply of the system. If AVDD and TVDD are supplied separately,
the power-up sequences between AVDD and TVDD is not critical. VSS1 and VSS2 must be connected
to the same analog ground plane. System analog ground and digital ground should be wired separately
and connected together as close as possible to where the supplies are brought onto the printed circuit
board. Decoupling capacitors should be as near to the AK4436 as possible.
2. Voltage Reference
The differential voltage between VREFH pin and VREFL pin sets the analog output range. The VREFH
pin is normally connected to AVDD, and the VREFL pin is normally connected to VSS2. VREFHL and
VREFL should be connected with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor and 10µF electrolytic capacitor as near as
possible to the pin to eliminate the effects of high frequency noise.
VCOM is a signal ground of this chip and output the voltage AVDDx1/2. A 2.2F ±50% ceramic capacitor
attached between the VCOM pin and VSS2 eliminates the effects of high frequency noise. This capacitor
should be as close to the pin as possible. No load current may be drawn from the VCOM pin. All signals,
especially clocks, should be kept away from the VREFH pin and the VCOM pin in order to avoid unwanted
coupling into the AK4436.
LDOO outputs 1.2V that is used for internal digital circuit. LDOO and VSS1 should be connected with a
2.2F ±50% ceramic capacitor as near as possible to the pin to stabilize internal LDO. No load current
may be drawn from the VCOM pin.
3. Analog Output
The output signal range is nominally 0.86 x VREFH Vpp centered around the VCOM voltage. The DAC
input data format is 2’s complement. The output voltage is a positive full scale for 7FFFFFFFH(@32bit)
and a negative full scale for 80000000H(@32bit). The ideal output is VCOM voltage for
00000000H(@32bit). The internal analog filters remove most of the noise generated by the delta-sigma
modulator of DAC beyond the audio passband, in single-ended input mode.
Normally, DC component is cut by an external capacitor since the DAC outputs have DC offsets of a few
millivolts to the VCOM voltage.

4. External Analog Outputs Circuit
The output level of this circuit is 2.83Vpp (AK4436: typ. 2.83Vpp). Normally, DC component is cut by an
external capacitor since the DAC outputs have DC offsets of a few millivolts to the VCOM voltage. The
cutoff frequency of HPF is shown below.
fc= 1/(2 × π × R × C) [Hz]
Where the C is the external AC coupling capacitor and the R is load resistance.
When C = 1μF and R = 10kΩ, then fs = 16Hz.
