[AK4421A] AK4421A 192kHz 24-Bit Stereo ΔΣ DAC with 2Vrms Output GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AK4421A is 3.3V 24-bit stereo DAC with an integrated 2Vrms output buffer. A charge pump in the buffer develops an internal negative power supply rail that enables a ground-referenced 2Vrms output. Using AKM’s multi bit modulator architecture, the AK4421A delivers a wide dynamic range while preserving linearity for improved THD+N performance. The AK4421A integrates a combination of switched-capacitor and continuous-time filters, increasing performance for systems with excessive clock jitter. The 24-bit word length and 192kHz sampling rate make this part ideal for a wide range of consumer audio applications, such as portable A/V players, set-top boxes, and digital televisions. The AK4421A is offered in a space saving 16pin TSSOP package.

Serial Interface Timing MS1086-E-01 2009/09 -8- [AK4421A] OPERATION OVERVIEW ■ System Clock The external clocks required to operate the AK4421A 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 AK4421A is automatically placed in power saving mode when MCLK, LRCK and BICK stop during normal operation mode, and the analog output goes to 0V(typ). When MCLK, LRCK and BICK are input again, the AK4421A is powered up. After exiting reset following power-up, the AK4421A is not fully operational until MCLK, LRCK and BICK are input.

System Clock Example When MCLK= 256fs/384fs, the Auto Setting Mode supports sampling rate of 32kHz~96kHz (Table 1). But, when the sampling rate is 32kHz~48kHz, DR and S/N will degrade by approximately 3dB as compared to when MCLK= 512fs/768fs (Table 2). MCLK DR,S/N 256fs/384fs 99dB 512fs/768fs 102dB Table 2. Relationship between MCLK frequency and DR, S/N (fs= 44.1kHz) ■ 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. Mode 0 1 DIF L H SDTI Format 24bit MSB justified 24bit I2S BICK ≥48fs ≥48fs Figure Figure 3 Figure 4 Table 3.

The DZF pin immediately returns to “L” if the input data for both channels are not zero. ■ Analog Output Block The internal negative power supply generation circuit (Figure 5) provides a negative power supply for the internal 2Vrms amplifier. It allows the AK4421A to output an audio signal centered at VSS (0V, typ) as shown in Figure 6. The negative power generation circuit (Figure 5) needs 2.2uF capacitors (Ca, Cb) with low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). If this capacitor is polarized, the positive polarity pin should be connected to the CP and VSS2 pins. This circuit operates by clocks generated from MCLK. When MCLK stops, the AK4421A is placed in reset mode automatically and the analog outputs settle to VSS (0V, typ).

Audio Signal Output MS1086-E-01 2009/09 - 11 - [AK4421A] ■ Soft Mute Operation Soft mute operation is performed in the digital domain. When the SMUTE pin is set “H”, the output signal is attenuated to -∞ in 1024 LRCK cycles. When the SMUTE pin is returned to “L”, the mute is cancelled and the output attenuation gradually changes to 0dB in 1024 LRCK cycles. If the soft mute is cancelled within the 1024 LRCK cycles after starting this operation, the attenuation is discontinued and it is returned to 0dB by the same cycle. Soft mute is effective for changing the signal source without stopping the signal transmission.

Double Speed Mode: 2048 LRCK cycles (2048/fs). Quad Speed Mode : 4096 LRCK cycles (4096/fs). (2) The analog output corresponding to a specific digital input has a group delay, GD. (3) If soft mute is cancelled before attenuating to -∞ after starting the operation, the attenuation is discontinued and returned to ATT level in the same cycle. (4) When the input data for both channels are continuously zero for 8192 LRCK cycles, the DZF pin goes to “H”. The DZF pin immediately returns to “L” if the input data are not zero. Figure 7.

(2) The digital circuit is powered-up after 2 or 3 LRCK cycles following the detection of MCLK. (3) The charge pump counter starts after the charge pump circuit is powered-up. The DAC outputs a valid analog signal after Time A. Time A = 1024/ (fs x 16): Normal speed mode Time A = 1024/ (fs x 8): Double speed mode Time A = 1024/ (fs x 4): Quadruple speed mode (4) No audible click noise occurs under normal conditions. (5) The DZF pin is “L” in the power-down mode. (6) The power supply must be powered-up when the MCLK pin is “L”. MCLK must be input after 20us when the power supply voltage achieves 80% of VDD. If not, click noise may occur at a different time from this figure. Figure 8.

(2) The analog output corresponding to a specific digital input has group delay (GD). (3) No audible click noise occurs under normal conditions. (4) Clocks (MCLK, BICK, LRCK) can be stopped in the reset mode (MCLK, LRCK or BICK is stopped). (5) The DZF pin is set to “L” in the reset mode. Figure 9.

When using polarized capacitors, the positive polarity pin should be connected to the CP and VSS2 pin. VSS1 and VSS2 should be separated from digital system ground. Digital input pins should not be allowed to float. Figure 10. Typical Connection Diagram MS1086-E-01 2009/09 - 15 - [AK4421A] 1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling VDD, CVDD and VSS are supplied from the analog supply and should be separated from the system digital supply. Decoupling capacitors, especially 0.1μF ceramic capacitors for high frequency bypass, should be placed as near to VDD and CVDD as possible. The differential voltage between VDD and VSS pins set the analog output range. The power-up sequence between VDD and CVDD is not critical. 2. Analog Outputs The analog outputs are single-ended and centered around the VSS (ground) voltage. The output signal range is typically 2.0Vrms (typ @VDD=3.3V). The internal switched-capacitor filter (SCF) and continuous-time filter (CTF) attenuate the noise generated by the delta-sigma modulator beyond the audio passband. Using a 1st-order LPF (Figure 11) can reduce noise beyond the audio passband. The output voltage is positive full scale for 7FFFFFH (@24-bit data) and negative full scale for 800000H (@24-bit data). The ideal output is 0V (VSS) for 000000H (@24bit). The DC offset is ±40mV or less.
