The frequency of the MCKO output is selectable via register data of CKS2-0, DFS1-0 and FS1-0 as defined in Table 1-3. The PLL requires 20ms lock time whenever MCKO frequency selection changes or MCKO source changes from EXT mode to PLL mode, but 100ms upon power-up after 27MHz system clock stabilizes. While PLL is unlocked, serial input data is zeroed internally to prevent spurious output but TX outputs the wrong data (not “L”). When 27MHz clock is not present, the internal VCO frequency is pulled to its minimum value. The LRCK input must be synchronous with MCKO, however the phase is not critical. Internal timing is synchronized to LRCK input upon power-up. When MCKO frequency changes by register data of CKS2-0, DFS1-0 or FS1-0 during normal operation, the AK4364 should be reset by PDN pin “L” or RSTN bit “0”. Serial input data is zeroed internally until PLL is locked after exiting resetting. 2) External mode (EXT = “1”) When EXT bit is set to “1”, master clock can be input via MCKI pin. In this case, MCKO frequency is same as MCKI and it is not necessary to change the register data of FS1-0. The external clocks which are required to operate the AK4364 are MCKI, LRCK and BICK. The master clock (MCKI) should be synchronized with sampling clock (LRCK) but the phase is not critical. MCKI is used to operate the digital interpolation filter and the delta-sigma modulator. The frequency of MCKI can be set by CKS2-0, and can be selected to half, normal or double speed mode by DFS1-0 (See Table 2). In this case, internal VCO is powered down. Therefore, all external clocks should always be present whenever the AK4364 is in the normal operation mode (PDN = “H”). If these clock are not provided, the AK4364 may draw excess current and may not possibly operate properly because the device utilizes dynamic refreshed logic internally. If the external clocks are not present, the AK4364 should be in the power-down mode (PDN = “L”) or in the reset mode (RSTN = “0”). After exiting reset at power-up etc., the AK4364 is in the power-down mode until MCKI and LRCK are input. When the register data of CKS2-0 or DFS1-0 is changed during normal operation, the AK4364 should be reset by PDN pin “L” or RSTN bit “0”.

Each block consists of 192 frames. A frame of data contains two sub-frames. A sub-frame consists of 32 bits of information. Each data bit received is coded using a bi-phase mark encoding as a two binary state symbol. The preambles violate bi-phase encoding so they may be differentiated from data. In bi-phase encoding, the first state of an input symbol is always the inverse of the last state of the previous data symbol. For a logic 0, the second state of the symbol is the same as the first state. For a 1, the second state is the opposite of the first. Figure 7 illustrates a sample stream of 8 data bits encoded in 16 symbol states.

Table 5 defines the symbol encoding for each of the preambles. - Bits 4-27 of the sub-frame contain the 24 bit audio sample in 2’s complement format with bit 27 as the most significant bit (MSB). For 16 bit mode, Bits 4-11 are all 0. - Bit 28 is the validity flag. This is equal to V bit in the register. - Bit 29 is a user data bit. This is always “0” in the AK4364. - Bit 30 is a channel status bit. Frame 0 contains the first bit of the 192 bit word with the last bit in frame 191. - Bit 31 is an even parity bit for bits 4-31 of the sub-frame. 0 3 4 L Sync S B 27 28 29 30 31 M S V U C P B Audio sample Figure 8.

DZF pin immediately goes to “L” if input data is not zero after going DZF “H”. If RSTN bit becomes “0”, DZF pin goes to “H”. DZF pin goes to “L” at 4∼5/fs after RSTN bit returns to “1”. n Soft mute operation Soft mute operation is performed at digital domain. When the serial control register data of SMUTE goes “1”, the output signal is attenuated by -∞ during 1024 LRCK cycles. When SMUTE is returned to “0”, the mute is cancelled and the output attenuation gradually changes to 0dB during 1024 LRCK cycles. If the soft mute is cancelled within 1024 LRCK cycles after starting the operation, the attenuation is discontinued and returned to 0dB. The soft mute is effective for changing the signal source without stopping the signal transmission.

The internal register values are initialized by PDN “L”. This reset should always be done after power-up. Because some click noise occurs at the edge of PDN, the analog output should be muted externally if the click noise influences system application.

Reset sequence example MS0014-E-01 2000/07 - 22 - ASAHI KASEI [AK4364] n Serial Control Interface The AK4364 can control its functions via registers. Internal registers may be written by 2 types of control mode. The chip address is determined by the state of the CAD0 and CAD1 inputs. PDN = “L” initializes the registers to their default values. Writing “0” to the RSTN bit can initialize the internal timing circuit. But in this case, the register data is not be initialized. (1) 3-wire Serial Control Mode (I2C = “L”) Internal registers may be written to the 3 wire µP interface pins (CSN,CCLK and CDTI). The data on this interface consists of Chip address (2bits, CAD0/1), Read/Write (1bit, Fixed to “1”; Write only), Register address (MSB first, 5bits) and Control data (MSB first, 8bits). Address and data is clocked in on the rising edge of CCLK and data is clocked out on the falling edge. For write operations, data is latched after a low-to-high transition of CSN. The clock speed of CCLK is 5MHz(max). The CSN and CCLK pins should be held to “H” except for access.

The data on this interface consists of Chip address (2bits, CAD0/1), Read/Write (1bit, Fixed to “0”; Write only), Register address (MSB first, 5bits) and Control data (MSB first, 8bits). Address and data is clocked in on the rising edge of SCL and data is clocked out on the falling edge. Data can be written after a high-to-low transition of SDA when SCL is “H”(start condition), and is latched after a low-to-high transition of SDA when SCL is “H”(stop condition). The clock speed of SCL is 100kHz(max). The CSN pin should be connected to DVDD at I 2C Bus control mode. The AK4364 does not have a register address auto increment capability.

When current value is ATT1 and new value is set as ATT2, ATT1 gradually becomes ATT2 with same operation as soft mute. If new value is set as ATT3 before reaching ATT2, ATT value gradually becomes ATT3 from the way of transition. Cycle time of soft mute: Ts=1024/fs When PDN pin goes to “L”, the ATT values are set to 00H. The ATT values fade to FFH(0dB) during Ts after PDN pin returns to “H”. When RSTN bit goes to “0”, the ATT values are set to 00H. The ATT values fade to their current values after RSTN bit returns to “1”. Digital attenuator is independent of soft mute function.

Ground Layout Note: AVSS and DVSS must be connected to the same analog ground plane. 1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling The AK4364 requires careful attention to power supply and grounding arrangements. AVDD and DVDD are usually supplied from analog supply in system. Alternatively if AVDD and DVDD are supplied separately, the power up sequence is not critical. AVSS and DVSS of the AK4364 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 near to the AK4364 as possible, with the small value ceramic capacitors being the nearest. 2. Voltage Reference Inputs The differential voltage between AVDD and AVSS sets the analog output range. VCOM is AVDD/2 and normally connected to AVDD with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. An electrolytic capacitor 10µF parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor attached to VCOM pin eliminates the effects of high frequency noise. 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 AK4364. 3. Analog Outputs The analog outputs are single-ended outputs and 0.6x(AVDD-AVSS) Vpp (typ) centered around the VCOM voltage. The internal switched-capacitor filter and continuous-time filter attenuate the noise generated by the delta-sigma modulator beyond the audio passband. The input data format is 2’s complement. The output voltage is a positive full scale for 7FFFFF(@24bit) and a negative full scale for 800000H(@24bit). The ideal output is 0V for 000000H(@24bit).
