OPERATION OVERVIEW
■ System Clock
The AK4370 supports both master and slave modes to interface with external devices. (See Table 1).
The M/S bit selects either master or slave mode. M/S bit = “1” selects master mode and “0” selects slave mode. When the
AK4370 is power-down mode (PDN pin = “L”) and exits reset state, the AK4370 is slave mode. After exiting reset state,
the AK4370 goes to master mode by changing M/S bit = “1”.
When the AK4370 is used by master mode, LRCK and BICK pins are a floating state until M/S bit becomes “1”. LRCK
and BICK pins of the AK4370 should be pulled-down or pulled-up by the resistor (about 100kΩ) externally to avoid the
floating state.

The frequency of master clock inputted to the MCKI pin can be selected FS3-0 bits. (Refer to Table 2)
If the sampling frequency is changed during normal operation of the DAC (PMDAC bit = “1”), the change should occur
after the input is muted by SMUTE bit = “1”, or the input is set to “0” data.
LRCK and BICK are output from the AK4370 in master mode (Figure 11). The clock input to the MCKI pin should
always be present whenever the DAC is in normal operation (PMDAC bit = “1”). If these clocks are not provided, the
AK4370 may draw excessive current and will not operate properly because it utilizes these clocks for internal dynamic
refresh of registers. If the external clocks are not present, the DAC should be placed in power-down mode (PMDAC bit =
“0”).

The external clocks required to operate the AK4370 in slave mode are MCKI, LRCK and BICK (Figure 12). The master
clock (MCKI) should be synchronized with the sampling clock (LRCK). The phase between these clocks does not matter.
All external clocks (MCKI, BICK and LRCK) should always be present whenever the DAC is in normal operation mode
(PMDAC bit = “1”). If these clocks are not provided, the AK4370 may draw excessive current and will not operate
properly, because it utilizes these clocks for internal dynamic refresh of registers. If the external clocks are not present, the
DAC should be placed in power-down mode (PMDAC bit = “0”).

For low sampling rates, DR and S/N degrade because of the out-of-band noise. DR and S/N are improved by using higher
frequency for MCKI. Table 5 shows DR and S/N when the DAC output is to the HP-amp.

■ Serial Data Interface
The AK4370 interfaces with external systems via the SDATA, BICK and LRCK pins. Five data formats are available,
selected by setting the DIF2, DIF1 and DIF0 bits (Table 6). Mode 0 is compatible with existing 16-bit DACs and digital
filters. Mode 1 is a 20-bit version of Mode 0. Mode 4 is a 24-bit version of Mode 0. Mode 2 is similar to AKM ADCs and
many DSP serial ports. Mode 3 is compatible with the I2S serial data protocol. In Modes 2 and 3 with BICK≥48fs, the
following formats are also valid: 16-bit data followed by eight zeros (17th to 24th bits) and 20-bit data followed by four
zeros (21st to 24th bits). In all modes, the serial data is MSB first and 2’s complement format.
When master mode and BICK=32fs(BF bit = “0”), the AK4370 cannot be set to Mode 1, Mode 2 and Mode4.

■ Digital Attenuator
The AK4370 has a channel-independent digital attenuator (256 levels, 0.5dB step). This digital attenuator is placed before
the D/A converter. ATTL/R7-0 bits set the attenuation level (0dB to −127dB or MUTE) for each channel (Table 7). At
DATTC bit = “1”, ATTL7-0 bits control both channel’s attenuation levels. At DATTC bit = “0”, ATTL7-0 bits control
the left channel level and ATTR7-0 bits control the right channel level.

Table 7. Digital Volume ATT values
The ATS bit sets the transition time between set values of ATT7-0 bits as either 1061/fs or 7424/fs (Table 8). When the
ATS bit = “0”, a soft transition between the set values occurs(1062 levels). It takes 1061/fs (24ms@fs=44.1kHz) from
FFH(0dB) to 00H(MUTE). The ATTs are 00H when the PMDAC bit is “0”. When the PMDAC returns to “1”, the ATTs
fade to their current value. The digital attenuator is independent of the soft mute function.

■ Soft Mute
Soft mute operation is performed in the digital domain. When the SMUTE bit goes to “1”, the output signal is attenuated
by −∞ during the ATT_DATA×ATT transition time (Table 8) from the current ATT level. When 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 to −∞ after starting the operation, the
attenuation is discontinued and is returned to the ATT level by the same cycle. The soft mute is effective for changing the
signal source without stopping the signal transmission.

■ De-emphasis Filter
The AK4370 includes a digital de-emphasis filter (tc = 50/15μs), using an IIR filter corresponding to three sampling

■ System Reset
PDN pin should be held to “L” upon power-up. The 4370 should be reset by bringing PDN pin “L” for 150ns or more. All
of the internal register values are initialized by the system reset. After exiting reset, VCOM, DAC, HPL, HPR, LOUT and
ROUT switch to the power-down state. The contents of the control register are maintained until the reset is completed.
The DAC exits reset and power down states by MCKI after the PMDAC bit is changed to “1”. The DAC is in power-down
mode until MCKI is input.

■ Headphone Output (HPL, HPR pins)
The power supply voltage for the headphone-amp is supplied from the HVDD pin and is centered on the MUTET voltage.
The headphone-amp output load resistance is 16Ω (min). When the MUTEN bit is “1” at PMHPL=PMHPR= “1”, the
common voltage rises to 0.475 x AVDD. When the MUTEN bit is “0”, the common voltage of the headphone-amp falls
and the outputs (HPL and HPR pins) go to VSS1.

(2) Headphone-amp common voltage rises up (MUTEN bit = “1”). Common voltage of the headphone-amp is rising. This
rise time depends on the capacitor value connected with the MUTET pin. The rise time up to VCOM/2 is tr = 70k x
C(typ) when the capacitor value on MUTET pin is “C”.
(3) Headphone-amp common voltage falls down (MUTEN bit = “0”). Common voltage of the headphone-amp is falling

VCOM/2 is tf = 60k x C(typ) when the capacitor value on MUTET pin is “C”.
(4) Headphone-amp power-down (PMHPL, PMHPR bits = “0”). The outputs are at VSS1. If the power supply is switched
off or the headphone-amp is powered-down before the common voltage goes to VSS1, some pop noise may occur.

DALHL, LIN1HL, RIN1HL, LIN2HL and RIN2HL bits control each path switch of HPL output. DARHR, LIN1HR,
RIN1HR, LIN2HR and RIN2HR bits control each path switch of HPR output.
When L1HM=L2HM bits = “0”, HPG1-0 bits = “00” (R1H= R2H= RDH= 100k) and ATTH4-0 bits = “00H” (0dB), the
mixing gain is +0.95dB (typ). When HPG1-0 bit = “01” (RDH= 50k), the mixing gain of DAC path is +6.95dB (typ).
When HPG1-0 bit = “10” (RDH= 25k), the mixing gain of DAC path is +12.95dB (typ). When L1HM and L2HM bits are
“1”, LIN1/RIN1 and LIN2/RIN2 signals are output from HPL/R pins as (L+R)/2, respectively (R1H= R2H= 200k).
When LDIF=LDIFH=LIN1L=RIN1R bits = “1”, LIN1 and RIN1 pins becomes IN+ and IN− pins, respectively. IN+ and
IN− pins can be used as full-differential mono line input for analog mixing for headphone-amp. In this case, LIN1HL,
RIN1HL, LIN1HR and RIN1HR bits should be “0”.
If the path is OFF and the signal is input to the input pin, the input pin should be biased to a voltage equivalent to VCOM
voltage (= 0.475 x AVDD) externally. Figure 39 shows the external bias circuit example.

■ Stereo Line Output (LOUT, ROUT pins)
The common voltage is 0.475 x AVDD. The load resistance is 10kΩ(min). When the PMLO bit is “1”, the stereo line
output is powered-up. DALL, LIN1L, RIN1L, LIN2L and RIN2L bits control each path switch of LOUT. DARR, LIN1R,
RIN1R, LIN2R and RIN2R bits control each path switch of ROUT. When L1M = L2M bits = “0”, LOG bit = “0” (R1L =
R2L = RDL = 100k) and ATTS3-0 bits is “0FH”(0dB), the mixing gain is 0dB(typ) for all paths. When the LOG bit =
“1”(RDL= 50k), the DAC path gain is +6dB. When L1M = L2M bits = “1”, LIN1/RIN1 and LIN2/RIN2 signals are output
from LOUT/ROUT pins as (L+R)/2, respectively (R1L = R2L = 200k).
If the path is OFF and the signal is input to the input pin, the input pin should be biased to a voltage equivalent to VCOM

■ Serial Control Interface
(1) 3-wire Serial Control Mode (I2C pin = “L”)
Internal registers may be written to via the 3-wire μP interface pins (CSN, CCLK and CDTI). The data on this interface
consists of the Chip address (2-bits, Fixed to “01”), Read/Write (1-bit, Fixed to “1”, Write only), Register address (MSB
first, 5-bits) and Control data (MSB first, 8-bits). Address and data are clocked in on the rising edge of CCLK. For write
operations, the data is latched after a low-to-high transition of the 16th CCLK. CSN should be set to “H” once after 16
CCLKs for each address. The clock speed of CCLK is 5MHz(max). The value of the internal registers is initialized at
PDN pin = “L”.

(2) I2C-bus Control Mode (I2C pin = “H”)
The AK4370 supports fast-mode I2C-bus (max: 400kHz, Version 1.0).
(2)-1. WRITE Operations
Figure 29 shows the data transfer sequence for 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 35). 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 six bits of the slave address are fixed as “001000”. The next bit is CAD0 (device address bit).
This bit identifies the specific device on the bus. The hard-wired input pin (CAD0 pin) sets this device address bit (Figure
30). If the slave address matches that of the AK4370, the AK4370 generates an acknowledgement 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 36). A R/W bit value of “1” indicates that the read operation is to be executed. A “0”
indicates that the write operation is to be executed.
The second byte consists of the control register address of the AK4370. The format is MSB first, and those most
significant 3-bits are fixed to zeros (Figure 31). The data after the second byte contains control data. The format is MSB
first, 8bits (Figure 32). The AK4370 generates an acknowledgement after each byte has been received. A 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 a STOP condition (Figure 35).
The AK4370 can perform more than one byte write operation per sequence. After receiving the third byte the AK4370
generates an acknowledgement 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 5-bit
address counter is incremented by one, and the next data is automatically taken into the next address. If the address
exceeds 13H prior to generating the 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 change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW(Figure 37) except for the START and STOP
conditions.

[AK4370]
(2)-2. READ Operations
Set the R/W bit = “1” for the READ operation of the AK4370. After a transmission of data, the master can read the next
address’s data by generating an acknowledge instead of terminating the writing cycle after receiving the first data word.
After receiving each data packet the internal 5-bit address counter is incremented by one, and the next data is
automatically taken into the next address. If the address exceeds 13H prior to generating a stop condition, the address
counter will “roll over” to 00H and the previous data will be overwritten.
The AK4370 supports two basic read operations: CURRENT ADDRESS READ and RANDOM ADDRESS READ.
(2)-2-1. CURRENT ADDRESS READ
The AK4370 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) were to address n, the next CURRENT READ operation would
access data from the address n+1. After receiving the slave address with R/W bit set to “1”, the AK4370 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 acknowledgement to the data but instead generates a stop
condition, the AK4370 ceases transmission.

Figure 33. CURRENT ADDRESS READ
(2)-2-2. RANDOM ADDRESS READ
The random read operation allows the master to access any memory location at random. Prior to issuing the slave address
with the R/W bit set to “1”, the master must first perform a “dummy” write operation. 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 set to “1”. The AK4370 then generates an
acknowledgement, 1 byte of data and increments the internal address counter by 1. If the master does not generate an
acknowledgement to the data but instead generates a stop condition, the AK4370 ceases transmission.

Each block can be powered-down respectively by writing “0” in each bit of this address. When the PDN pin is “L”,
all blocks are powered-down regardless as setting of this address. In this case, register is initialized to the default
value.
When PMVCM, PMDAC, PMHPL, PMHPR and PMLO bits are “0”, all blocks are powered-down. The register
values remain unchanged. Power supply current is 20μA(typ) in this case. For fully shut down (typ. 1μA), PDN pin
should be “L”.

Notes:
- VSS1 and VSS2 of the AK4370 should be distributed separately from the ground of external controllers.
- All digital input pins (I2C, SDA/CDTI, SCL/CCLK, CAD0/CSN, SDATA, LRCK, BICK, MCKI, PDN) must
not be left floating.
- When the AK4370 is used in master mode, LRCK and BICK pins are floating before the M/S bit is changed to
“1”. Therefore, a 100kΩ pull-up resistor should be connected to the LRCK and BICK pins of the AK4370.
- When DVDD is supplied from AVDD via 10Ω series resistor, the capacitor larger than 0.1μF should not be
connected between DVDD and the ground.

Note: If the path is OFF and the signal is input to the input pin, the input pin should be biased to a voltage equivalent to
VCOM voltage (= 0.475 x AVDD) externally.
Figure 39. External Bias Circuit Example for Line Input Pin
1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
The AK4370 requires careful attention to power supply and grounding arrangements. AVDD and HVDD are usually
supplied from the analog power supply in the system and DVDD is supplied from AVDD via a 10Ω resistor. Alternatively
if AVDD and DVDD are supplied separately, AVDD should be powered-up after DVDD rises up to 1.6V or more. When
the AK4370 is powered-down, DVDD should be powered-down at the same time or later than AVDD. When AVDD and
HVDD are supplied separately, AVDD should be powered-up at the same time or earlier than HVDD. When the AK4370
is powered-down, AVDD should be powered-down at the same time or later than HVDD. VSS1 and VSS2 must be
connected to the analog ground plane. System analog ground and digital ground should be connected together near to
where the supplies are brought onto the printed circuit board. Decoupling capacitors should be as close to the AK4370 as
possible, with the small value ceramic capacitors being the nearest.
2. Voltage Reference
The input voltage to AVDD sets the analog output range. Usually a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor is connected between AVDD
and VSS1. VCOM is a signal ground of this chip (0.475 x AVDD). The electrolytic capacitor around 2.2μF attached
between VCOM anVSS1 eliminates the effects of high frequency noise, too. No load current may be drawn from VCOM
pin. All signals, especially clock, should be kept away from AVDD and VCOM in order to avoid unwanted coupling into
the AK4370.
3. Analog Outputs
The analog outputs are single-ended outputs, and 0.48 x AVDD Vpp(typ)@−3dBFS for headphone-amp and
0.61xAVDD Vpp(typ) @0dBFS for LOUT/ROUT centered on the VCOM voltage. The input data format is 2’s
compliment. The output voltage is a positive full scale for 7FFFFFH(@24bit) and negative full scale for
800000H(@24bit). The ideal output is VCOM voltage for 000000H(@24bit).
DC offsets on the analog outputs is eliminated by AC coupling since the analog outputs have a DC offset equal to VCOM
plus a few mV.
