[AK5358A]
AK5358A
96kHz 24-Bit ΔΣ ADC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AK5358A is a stereo A/D Converter with wide sampling rate of 8kHz ∼ 96kHz and is suitable for
consumer to professional audio system. The AK5358A achieves high accuracy and low cost by using
Enhanced dual bit ΔΣ techniques. The AK5358A requires no external components because the analog
inputs are single-ended. The audio interface has two formats (MSB justified, I2S) and can correspond to
various systems like DTV, DVR and AV Receiver.

OPERATION OVERVIEW
■ System Clock
MCLK, SCLK and LRCK (fs) clocks are required in slave mode. The LRCK clock input must be synchronized with
MCLK, however the phase is not critical. Table 1 shows the relationship of typical sampling frequency and the system
clock frequency. MCLK frequency, SCLK frequency and master/slave are selected by CKS2-0 pins as shown in Table 2.
All external clocks (MCLK, SCLK and LRCK) must be present unless PDN pin = “L”. If these clocks are not provided,
the AK5358A may draw excess current due to its use of internal dynamically refreshed logic. If the external clocks are not
present, place the AK5358A in power-down mode (PDN pin = “L”). In master mode, the master clock (MCLK) must be
provided unless PDN pin = “L”.

■ Audio Interface Format
Two kinds of data formats can be chosen with the DIF pin (Table 3). In both modes, the serial data is in MSB first, 2’s
compliment format. The SDTO is clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK. The audio interface supports both master and
slave modes. In master mode, SCLK and LRCK are output with the SCLK frequency fixed to 64fs and the LRCK
frequency fixed to 1fs.

■ Digital High Pass Filter
The ADC has a digital high pass filter for DC offset cancellation. The cut-off frequency of the HPF is 1.0Hz
(@fs=48kHz) and scales with sampling rate (fs).

[AK5358A]
■ Power down
The AK5358A is placed in the power-down mode by bringing PDN pin “L” and the digital filter is also reset at the same
time. This reset should always be done after power-up. In the power-down mode, the VCOM are AGND level. An analog
initialization cycle starts after exiting the power-down mode. Therefore, the output data SDTO becomes available after
4129 cycles of LRCK clock in master mode or 4132 cycles of LRCK clock in slave mode. During initialization, the ADC
digital data outputs of both channels are forced to a 2’s complement “0”. The ADC outputs settle in the data
corresponding to the input signals after the end of initialization (Settling approximately takes the group delay time).

(2) Digital output corresponding to analog input has the group delay (GD).
(3) A/D outputs “0” data at the power-down state.
(4) When the external clocks (MCLK, SCLK and LRCK) are stopped, the AK5358A should be in the power-down
state.
Figure 3. Power-down/up sequence example
■ System Reset
The AK5358A should be reset once by bringing PDN pin “L” after power-up. In slave mode, the internal timing starts
clocking by the rising edge (falling edge at mode 1) of LRCK after exiting from reset and power down state by MCLK.
The AK5358A is power down state until LRCK is input. In master mode, the internal timing starts when MCLK is input.

1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
The AK5358A requires careful attention to power supply and grounding arrangements. Alternatively if VA and VD are
supplied separately, the power up sequence is not critical. AGND and DGND of the AK5358A must be connected to
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 near to the AK5358A as possible, with the
small value ceramic capacitor being the nearest.
2. Voltage Reference
The voltage input to VA sets the analog input range. VCOM are 50%VA and normally connected to AGND with a 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor. A capacitor 2.2μF is attached to VCOM pin. No load current may be drawn from these pins. All
signals, especially clocks, should be kept away from the VCOM pin in order to avoid unwanted coupling into the
AK5358A.
3. Analog Inputs
The ADC inputs are single-ended and internally biased to the common voltage (50%VA) with 20kΩ (typ@fs=48kHz)
resistance. The input signal range scales with the supply voltage and nominally 0.6xVA Vpp (typ). The ADC output data
format is 2’s complement. The internal HPF removes the DC offset.
The AK5358A samples the analog inputs at 64fs (@fs=48kHz). The digital filter rejects noise above the stop band except
for multiples of 64fs. The AK5358A includes an anti-aliasing filter (RC filter) to attenuate a noise around 64fs.

When you consider any use or application of these products, please make inquiries the sales office of Asahi Kasei
EMD Corporation (AKEMD) or authorized distributors as to current status of the products.
z AKEMD assumes no liability for infringement of any patent, intellectual property, or other rights in the application or
use of any information contained herein.
z Any export of these products, or devices or systems containing them, may require an export license or other official
approval under the law and regulations of the country of export pertaining to customs and tariffs, currency exchange,
or strategic materials.
z AKEMD products are neither intended nor authorized for use as critical componentsNote1) in any safety, life support, or
other hazard related device or systemNote2), and AKEMD assumes no responsibility for such use, except for the use
approved with the express written consent by Representative Director of AKEMD. As used here:
Note1) A critical component is one whose failure to function or perform may reasonably be expected to result,
whether directly or indirectly, in the loss of the safety or effectiveness of the device or system containing it, and
which must therefore meet very high standards of performance and reliability.
Note2) A hazard related device or system is one designed or intended for life support or maintenance of safety or
for applications in medicine, aerospace, nuclear energy, or other fields, in which its failure to function or perform
may reasonably be expected to result in loss of life or in significant injury or damage to person or property.
z It is the responsibility of the buyer or distributor of AKEMD products, who distributes, disposes of, or otherwise
places the product with a third party, to notify such third party in advance of the above content and conditions, and the
