AK4531A
Audio CODEC with 13ch Mixer & 18bit DAC
General Description
The AK4531A is a two channel 16bit AUDIO Hi-Fi CODEC (ADC and DAC) with a sampling rate of 4kHz to
50kHz and includes a 2 channel 18bit DAC designed to work together with an extra sound source. Each
converter can also operate by independent sampling rates. Its internal recording and playback mixer has 5
channel stereo and 3 channel mono with L/R, R/L, L/L and R/R switching. The AK4531A also has an
internal 30dB microphone amplifier. Its master clock is 256 times of fs and an internal PLL can also
automatically generates 256fs for master clock from fs. The sampling ADC has an enhanced dual bit delta
sigma modulator. Both the 16bit and 18bit DAC have low outband noise and high jitter tolerance due to a
switched capacitor filter(SCF) and a continuous time filter(CTF). The AK4531A corresponds to a 3.3V digital
interface, performing with a low power dissipation of 315mW. The package is a low profile 44pin LQFP.

Notes: 5. The Passband and stopband frequencies scale with fs.
6. The calculating delay time which occurred by digital filtering. This time is from the input of analog
signal to setting the 16bit data of both channels to the output register for ADC.
For DAC, this time is from setting the 16/18bit data of both channels on input register to the output of
analog signal.

Notes: 7. Master clock means MCLK1 and MCLK2.
8. LRCK means LRCK1 and LRCK2.
If the duty of LRCK changes larger than 5% from 50%, the AK4531A is reset by the internal phase
detecting circuit automatically. Extra-DAC should operate at fs ≧ 16kHz for practical use.
9. Timing relation is specified between LRCK1 and BCLK1, or LRCK2 and BCLK2.
10. BCLK rising edge must not occur at the same time as LRCK edge.
11. These cycles are the number of LRCK rising from RST rising.

■ Audio Data Formats
The data format of CODEC-ADC/DAC is MSB first & MSB justified with 16bit. The BCLK needs 32fs or more
than 32fs cycles. The data format of Extra-DAC is MSB first & MSB justified with 18bit. In this case, BCLK needs
36fs or more than 36fs cycles.

5. System clock
The external clocks which are required to operate the AK4531A are MCLK, LRCK, BCLK except for PLL
mode. MCLK should be synchronized with LRCK but the phase is free of care. As the AK4531A includes
the phase detect circuit for LRCK, the AK4531A is reset automatically when the synchronization is out of
phase by changing the clock frequencies. Therefore, the reset is not required except only upon power-up.
All external clocks should always be present whenever the AK4531A is in normal operation mode. If these
clocks are not provided, the AK4531A may draw excess current and do not possibly operate properly because
the device utilizes dynamic refreshed logic internally. If the external clocks are not present, the AK4531A
should be in the power-down mode.
6. PLL lock speed
The AK4531A has a PLL to generate the CODEC master clock. The lock in time from 4kHz to 50kHz is
about 100ms.
7. Digital High Pass Filter
The ADC of the AK4531A has a digital high pass filter for DC offset cancel. The cut-off frequency of the
HPF is 6.85Hz at fs=44.1kHz and the frequency response at 20Hz is -0.5dB. It also scales with sampling
rate(fs).

1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
The AK4531A requires careful attention to power supply and grounding arrangements. VD should be
supplied from analog power supply. 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 as near to the
AK4531A as possible, with the small value ceramic capacitor being the nearest.
2. On-chip voltage reference
The on-chip voltage references are output on the VRAD,VRDA1,VRDA2 and VCOM pins for decoupling.
The VRAD,VRDA1,VRDA2 pins are used as the reference of A/D and D/A conversion. The VCOM is a
signal ground of this chip. An electrolytic capacitor less than10uF in parallel with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor
attached to these pins eliminates the effects of high frequency noise. Especially, the small value ceramic
capacitors should be as near to the AK4531A as possible. No load current may be drawn from the
VRAD,VRDA1,VRDA2 and VCOM pins. All signals, especially clocks, should be kept away from the
VRAD,VRDA1,VRDA2 and VCOM pins in order to avoid unwanted coupling into the modulators.

3. Analog Inputs
The mixer inputs and the ADC input are single-ended and internally biased to the VCOM voltage with 50k
Ω (typ) resistance. The input signal range is typically 2.88Vpp(1Vrms). Figure 4 is an example for 2Vrms
line-level input circuit. The ADC output data format is 2's complement. The AK4531A accepts input voltages
from AGND to VA. The output code is 7FFFH for input above a positive full scale and 8000H for input
below a negative full scale. The ideal code is 0000H with no input signal. The DC offset is cancelled by the
internal HPF.
Figure 4. 2Vrms Line level Input
The AK4531A samples the analog inputs at 64fs. The digital filter rejects all noise higher than the stop band.
However, the filter will not reject frequencies right around 64fs(and multiples of 64fs). Most audio signals do
not have significant energy at 64fs.
4. Analog Outputs
The analog outputs are also single-ended and centered around the VCOM voltage. The output signal range is
typically 2.80Vpp(1Vrms). The DAC input data format is 2's complement. The output voltage is a positive
full scale for 7FFFH and a negative full scale for 8000H in the case of CODEC-DAC. The ideal output is
VCOM voltage for 0000H. The internal switched-capacitor filter and continuous-time filter almost remove the
noise generated by the delta-sigma modulator of DAC beyond the audio passband, especially low sampling
rate. In case of CODEC-DAC, the noise floor level is almost constant and the audible noise level is
-83dB(typ) at 8kHz sampling. However, Extra-DAC should be operated at fs ≧ 16kHz.
5. Other information
5.1. Clock change
The clock change should be done after muting the DAC output by the master volume to avoid the click noise
by out-of-synchronization.
5.2. Offset on mixer inputs
When the mixer gain is set to +12dB, the output has pretty large offset even if the inputs are no signal.
Therefore, large click noise may occur when the gain level is changed quickly.
5.3. Click noise on the analog outputs.
The click noise of about -50dB occurs from the analog outputs(LOUT,ROUT,MOUT,AOUT) at the power
on/off or the transition of PD register. The analog outputs should be muted externally if the click noise
influences system application.
