[AK4621]
AK4621
24-Bit 192kHz Stereo Audio CODEC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AK4621 is a high performance 24-bit CODEC that supports up to 192kHz recording and playback.
The on-board analog-to-digital converter has a high dynamic range due to AKM’s Enhanced Dual-Bit
architecture. The DAC utilizes AKM’s Advanced Multi-Bit architecture that achieves low out-of-band noise
and high jitter tolerance through the use of Switched Capacitor Filter (SCF) technology. The AK4621 is
ideal for Pro Audio sound cards, Digital Audio Workstations, DVD-R, hard disk, CD-R recording/playback
systems, and musical instrument recording.

Note 16: The passband and stopband frequencies scale with fs. Each response refers to that of 1kHz
Note 17: The calculated delay time induced by digital filtering. This time is from the input of an analog signal to the
setting of 24bit data both channels to the ADC output register for ADC. If the signal is outputted to the SDTO pin,
group delay is increased 0.5/fs from the above value.

OPERATION OVERVIEW
■ System Clock Input
The AK4621 requires MCLK, BICK and LRCK external clocks. MCLK must be synchronized with LRCK but the phase
is not critical. The AK4621 is automatically placed in power-down state when MCLK is stopped more than 9.38µs during
a normal operation (PDN pin =“H”), then the digital output becomes “0” data and the analog output becomes Hi-Z. When
MCLK and LRCK are input again, the AK4621 exit power-down state and starts the operation. After exiting system reset
(PDN pin =“L”→“H”) at power-up and other situations, the AK4621 is in power-down mode until MCLK is supplied.
As the AK4621 includes the phase detect circuit for LRCK, the AK4621 is reset automatically when the synchronization
is out of phase by changing the clock frequencies.
1. Serial mode (P/S pin= “L”)
As shown in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3, select the MCLK frequency by setting CMODE, CKS1-0 and DFS1-0 bits.
These registers are changed when RSTAD bit = RSTDA bit = “0”.

■ Audio Serial Interface Format
Five serial modes are supported and selected by the DIF2-0 bits in Serial Mode (two modes by DIF pin in Parallel Mode)
as shown in Table 8 and Table 9. In all modes the serial data has MSB first, 2’s complement format. The SDTO is clocked
out on the falling edge of BICK and the SDTI is latched on the rising edge. Mode2 can be used for 20 and 16 MSB
justified formats by zeroing the unused LSBs.

■ Output Volume
The AK4621 includes channel independent digital output volumes (DATT) with 256 levels and extension digital output
volumes (EATT) with 16 levels at linear steps including MUTE. When EXTE bit = “1”, the extension digital output
volumes are enabled. These volumes are in front of the DAC. If the extension digital output volumes are disabled, the
volumes can attenuate the input data from 0dB to −48dB and mute. If the extension digital output volumes are enabled,
the volumes can attenuate the input data from 0dB to −72dB and mute. When changing levels, transitions are executed via
soft changes, eliminating any switching noises. The transition time of 1 level, all 256 levels and all 256+16 is shown in
Table 10. Volume calculating formula is shown in Table 13.

■ Overflow Detection
The ADC has a channel independent overflow detection function. This function is enabled in parallel control mode, or
when the ZOS bit = ZOE bit = “0” in serial control mode. OVFL/R pins go to “H” if each Lch/Rch analog input overflows
(exceeds -0.3dBFS). The output of each OVFL/R pin has same group delay as ADC against analog inputs. OVFL/R pin is
“L” for 516/fs (=10.8ms @fs=48kHz) after the PDN pin = “↑”, and then overflow detection is enabled.
■ Zero Detection
The DAC has a channel-independent zero detect function. The zero detect function is enabled when the ZOS bit = “1” and
the ZOE bit = “0” in serial control mode. When the input data at both channels is continuously zero for 8192 LRCK
cycles, the DZF pin of each channel goes to “H”. The DZF pin of each channel immediately returns to “L” if the input data
of each channel is not zero after DZF “H”. If the RSTDA bit is “0”, the DZF pins of both channels go to “H”. The DZF
pins of both channels return to “L” in 2~3fs if the input data of each channel is not zero. Zero detect function can be
disabled by the ZOE bit. In this case, the DZF pins of both channels are always “L”. The DZFB bit can invert the polarity
of the DZF pin.
■ 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 at fs=48kHz.
The digital high pass filter cut-off frequency scales with the sampling rate (fs). In parallel mode, the HPF is always
enabled. In serial mode, the HPF can control each channel by HPLN/HPRN bits.

■ Digital Filter
The AK4621 has two kinds of Digital Filter for ADC and three kinds of Digital Filter for DAC. The outputs of ADC and
DAC can be controlled by using the SDFIL pin or SDAD/SDDA/SLOW bits.

■ De-emphasis Filter
The DAC includes a digital de-emphasis filter (tc=50/15μs for 32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz sampling rates) by an integrated
IIR filter. Setting the DEM1-0 bits enables the de-emphasis filter. This filter is always OFF in double and quad speed
modes. The DEM0 pin and DEM0 bit are OR’d in serial control mode. In parallel control mode, the DEM1 bit is fixed to
“0” and only the DEM0 pin can be controlled (44.1kHz or OFF).

■ Soft Mute Operation
Soft mute operation is performed in the digital domain of the DAC input. When the SMUTE bit goes to “1”, the output
signal is attenuated by −∞ during ATT_DATA × ATT transition time (Table 10) from the current ATT level. When
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 soft mute is cancelled before attenuating to −∞ after starting the operation, the
attenuation is discontinued and returns to ATT level by the same cycle. The soft mute is effective for changing the signal
source without stopping the signal transmission.

Notes:

time is 1020LRCK cycles (1020/fs). If the EATT is enabled, this time is 1080LRCK cycles (1080/fs).
(2) Analog output corresponding to digital input has group delay (GD).
(3) If the soft mute is cancelled before attenuating −∞, the attenuation is discontinued and returned to ATT level by the
same cycle.
(4) When the input data at each channel is continuously zero for 8192 LRCK cycles, the DZF pin of each channel goes
to “H”. The DZF pin immediately returns to “L” if input data are not zero after going to “H”.

■ Power Down & Reset
The ADC and DAC of AK4621 are placed in power-down mode by bringing the PDN pin = “L”. Each digital filter is also
reset at the same time. The internal register values are initialized by bringing the PDN pin to “L”. This reset must always
be done after power-up. As both control registers of the ADC and the DAC go to the reset state (RSTAD bit = RSTDA bit
= “0”), each register must be cleared after executing the reset. In the case of the ADC, an analog initialization cycle starts
after exiting the power-down or reset state. The output data (SDTO) is available after 516 cycles of LRCK clock. This
initialization cycle does not affect the DAC operation. Power down mode can be also controlled by the registers (PWAD
bit, PWDA bit).

according to fade operation.
*2 When PWDA is “L” and DATT value is written to “YYH”, DATT value changes from XXH to YYH
according to fade operation.
*3 When the external clocks (MCLK, SCLK, LRCK) are stopped and DATT value is written to “ZZH”, DATT
value changes from YYH to ZZH according to fade operation.
(5) In the power-down mode, the DAC output is VCOM level. In the reset state, the DAC output is floating (Hi-z).
(6) Click noise occurs after RSTDA bit or PWDA bit is changed.
(7) Mute the analog output externally if the click noise (6) influences system application.
(8) When MCLK is stopped more than 9.38µs, the AK4621 becomes power down mode. Then ADC output is “0” data
and DAC output is floating (Hi-Z).

■ Serial Control Interface
The internal registers may be written by the 3-wire μP interface pins: CSN, CCLK, CDTI. The data on this interface
consists of Chip address (2bits, C0/1) Read/Write (1 bit), 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 and data is latched after the 16th rising edge of
CCLK, following a high-to-low transition of CSN. Operation of the control serial port may be completely asynchronous
with the audio sample rate. The maximum clock speed of the CCLK is 5MHz. The chip address is fixed to “10”. The
access to the chip address except for “10” is invalid. PDN pin = “L” resets the registers to their default values.

PDN pin = “L” resets the registers to their default values.
■ Control Register Setup Sequence
When the PDN pin goes “L” to “H” upon power-up etc., the AK4621 will be ready for normal operation by the sequence
below. In this case, all control registers are set to default values and the AK4621 is in the reset state.
(1) Set the clock mode and the audio data interface mode.
(2) Cancel the reset state by setting RSTAD bit or RSTDA bit to “1”. Refer to Reset Contorl Register (01H).
(3) ADC output and DAC output must be muted externally until canceling each reset state.
The clock mode must be changed after setting RSTAD bit and RSTDA bit to “0”. At that time, ADC outputs and DAC
outputs must be muted externally.

Figure 17. Ground Layout
1. Ground and Power Supply Decoupling
The AK4621 requires careful attention to power supply and grounding layout. To minimize coupling from digital noise,
decoupling capacitors must be connected to AVDD, DVDD and TVDD respectively. AVDD is supplied from the analog
supply in the system, and DVDD and TVDD are supplied from the digital supply in the system. Power lines of AVDD,
DVDD and TVDD must be distributed separately from the point with low impedance of regulator etc. The power up
sequence is not critical among AVDD, DVDD and TVDD. VSS1 and VSS2 must be connected to one analog
ground plane. Decoupling capacitors must be as near to the AK4621 as possible, with the small value ceramic capacitor
being the nearest.
2. Voltage Reference
The differential voltage between VREF and VSS1 sets the analog input/output range. The VREF pin is normally connected
to AVDD with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. VCOM is the signal ground of this chip. A 10μF electrolytic capacitor in parallel
with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor attached to the VCOM pin eliminates the effects of high frequency noise. No load current
may be drawn from the VCOM pin. All signals, especially clocks, must be kept away from the VREF and VCOM pins in
order to avoid unwanted coupling into the AK4621.
3. ADC Output
The ADC output data format is 2’s complement. The DC offset, including the ADC’s own DC offset, is removed by the
internal HPF (fc=1.0Hz@fs=48kHz). The AK4621 samples the analog inputs at 128fs (@Normal Speed Mode), 64fs
(@Double Speed Mode) or 32fs (@Quad Speed Mode). The digital filter rejects noise above the stopband except for
multiples of 128fs (@Normal Speed Mode), 64fs (@Double Speed Mode) or 32fs (@Quad Speed Mode).

4. Analog Inputs
The AK4621 can accept input voltages from VSS1 to AVDD. The input signal range scales with the VREF voltage and is
nominally 2.82Vpp (VREF = 5V), centered around the internal common voltage (about VA/2). Figure 18 shows an input
buffer circuit example. This is a fully differential input buffer circuit with an inverted amplifier (gain: −10dB). The
capacitor of 10nF between AINL+/− (AINR+/−) decreases the clock feedthrough noise of the modulator, and it composes
a 1st order LPF (fc=360kHz) with a 22Ω resistor before the capacitor. This circuit also has a 1st order LPF (fc=370kHz)
composed of op-amp. Refer to an evaluation board for details.

5. Analog Outputs
The analog outputs are fully differential and 2.8Vpp (typ. VREF = 5V), centered around VCOM. The differential outputs
are summed externally: Vout = (AOUT+)-(AOUT-) between AOUT+ and AOUT-. If the summing gain is 1, the output
range is 5.6Vpp (typ. VREF = 5V). The bias voltage of the external summing circuit is supplied externally. The input data
format is 2’s complement. The output voltage is a positive full scale for 7FFFFFH(@24bit) and a negative full scale for
800000H(@24bit). The ideal AOUT is 0V for 000000H(@24bit).
The internal switched-capacitor filter and the external LPF attenuate the noise generated by the delta-sigma modulator
beyond the audio passband.
Figure 19 shows an example of external LPF circuit summing the differential outputs by an op-amp. Figure 20 shows an
example of differential outputs and LPF circuit example by three op-amps.
