AKD4556-B
AK4556 Evaluation board Rev.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AKD4556-B is an evaluation board for the AK4556, the 24Bit A/D & D/A converter. The AKD4556-B
can evaluate A/D converter and D/A converter separately in addition to loopback mode (A/D→D/A). The
AKD4556-B also has the digital audio interface and can achieve the interface with digital audio systems
via opt-connector.

Evaluation Board Manual
„ Operation sequence
1) Set up the power supply lines
[5V]
(red)
= +5V (3.3V is supplied to the AK4556 , the AK4114 , and the Digital Logic via the
regulator.)
[GND] (black)
= 0V
2) Set up the evaluation modes, jumper pins and DIP switch. (See the followings.)
3) Power on
The AK4556 should be reset once bringing SW1 (PDN) “L” upon power-up.
„ The function of the toggle SW.
[SW1] : Resets the AK4556 & AK4114. Keep “H” during normal operation.

„ Evaluation modes
In case of the AK4556 evaluation using the AK4114, it is necessary to correspond to the audio interface format.
RX and TX use BNC connector at evaluation of Quad Speed with the AK4114.
Applicable evaluation modes
(1) Evaluation of Loopback mode using the AK4114 <default>
(2) Evaluation of DAC using DIR of the AK4114
(3) Evaluation of ADC using DIT of the AK4114
(4) All interface signals including master clock are fed externally.
(1) Evaluation of Loopback mode using the AK4114
X’tal oscillator (X1) 24.576MHz is used.
