separate power supplies
• Operating voltage range: 2.6 to 5.5V

-40 to +85°C
• Package: 16-pin QFNJ (3.0mm x 3.0mm x 0.70mm, 0.5-mm pitch)
Overview
The AK2331 is an electronic volume into which 8 bit 4 channels of multiplication D/A converters are
integrated on a single chip.
The reference voltage of the D/A converter can be selected from one external path (VREF pin level)
and internal three paths (VSS, AVDD, AVDD/2) for each channel and it can be used as a normal D/A
converter or an electronic volume that attenuates signals from input pins VIN0 to VIN3. A buffer
amplifier is incorporated as the subsequent stage of the D/A converter, which provides rail-to-rail
output and a signal with a distortion of -60dB.
In operational setting, the three-wire serial system, which synchronizes serial input (SDATA)
consisting of a 4-bit address and 8-bit data with the CSN and SCLK signals, is adopted, a power
supply (DVDD) is provided separately from the D/A converter, and 3V serial control and 5V D/A
converter operation are enabled. In addition, settings can be made so that the AVDD/2 level, which
was generated internally, is output to VOUT0 to VOUT3 pins through the buffer amplifier by bypassing
the D/A converter or the buffer amplifier is powered down.
A 16-pin small and low-profile QFNJ package (3.0mm square x 0.70mm height) is employed to
achieve high-density packaging.

Function
The control register inputs serial data (SDATA) consisting of a 4-bit address and
8-bit data in sync with the CSN and SCLK signals to set register data.
When a system reset is performed through the RSTN pin on power-up, all registers
are initialized. The same reset (soft reset) can also be made by the SRST register
(refer to register descriptions).
The channel & address decoder decodes the data set by the control register and
sets the corresponding D/A converter and reference voltage.
The 8-bit Latch0 to Latch3 store the register data of the control register.
8-bit DAC0 to DAC3
The 8-bit DAC0 to DAC3 are 8-bit D/A converters set by the data latched in the
previous stage.
Buffer
The buffer is a buffer amplifier that performs rail-to-rail operation.

Digital AC Timing
Serial interface timing
The AK2331 writes data via the three-wire synchronous serial interface by means of CSN, SCLK,
and SDATA.
SDATA (serial data) consists of a register address (starting from the MSB, A3 to A0) and control
data (starting from the MSB, D7 to D0).
<1> CSN (chip select) is normally set to the high level.
When CSN is set to the low level, the serial interface becomes active.
<2> When a write operation is performed, an address and data are input in synchronization with the
rising edges of 12 SCLK clock pulses while CSN is low.
<3> A write setting is made on the assumption that 12 clock pulses are input from SCLK while CSN is
low.
Note that if clock pulses more than or less than 12 clock pulses are input, data cannot be set
correctly.

VOUT[7:0]data is output
VOUT[7:0]data is held
Remarks
Latch-timing of each DAC data can be matched by the CTRL register setting.
After VOUT[7:0] is set, when CTRL register is set to “0”, VOUT[7:0] data is reflected in the DAC output
immediately.
When CTRL register is set to “1”, DAC output will not be affected regardless of changes made in
VOUT[7:0] data. In this case VOUT[7:0] data output by DAC will remain the same as that of data when
setting CTRL register to “1”. The data will be reflected in the DAC output when the timing is set to “0”.

Recommended External Circuit Examples
1) Power supply stabilizing capacitors
Connect capacitors between the VDD and VSS pins to eliminate ripple and noise included in the power
supply as shown below. For maximum effect, the capacitors should be placed at a shortest distance
between the pins.

2) External VIN0 to VIN3 capacitor
When inputting an analog signal to the VIN pin, connect a capacitor to adjust the DC offset of the input
signal and the internal operation point in the LSI device. This forms a high-pass filter with fc being
about 130Hz.
