ASAHI KASEI [AKD4394] AKD4394 Evaluation board Rev.C for AK4394 General Description The AKD4394 is an evaluation board for AK4394, which is 192kHz sampling 24Bit ∆Σ DAC. The AKD4394 includes a LPF which can add differential analog outputs from the AK4394 and also has a digital interface with AKM’s wave generator using ROM data and AKM’s ADC evaluation boards. Therefore, it is easy to evaluate the AK4394.

The differential outputs of AK4394 is buffered by non-inverted circuit and output via Cannon connector(differential output). LPF adds differential outputs. NJM5534D is used for op-amp on this board that has low noise and high voltage torelance characteristics. Analog signal is output via Cannon and BNC connectors on the board. The output level is about 2.94Vrms(typ@VREF=5.0V) by Cannon and 2Vrms(typ@VREF=5.0V) by BNC. +15 10n 300 AOUTL- + 300 7 3 2 + 4 10n -15 10u 0.1u 6 NJM5534D + 10u 0.1u 300 220 3 2 620 2 - 4 3 + 7 560 AOUTL+ + 300 300 10n 3 + 2 - 10u Lch 0.1u 7 6 0.1u 4 NJM5534D + + 10u 10u 0.1u 300 220 100 6 4.7n NJM5534D 430 + 100 620 10n +10u 4.7n 1 47u 0.1u 430 100 47u 560 + Fig.2 External Analog Filter Operation sequence 1.
