AK4397
High Performance Premium 32-Bit DAC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AK4397 is a high performance premium 32bit DAC for the 192kHz sampling mode of DVD-Audio
including a 32bit digital filter. Using AKM's multi bit architecture for its modulator the AK4397 delivers a
wide dynamic range while preserving linearity for improved THD+N performance. The AK4397 has full
differential SCF outputs, removing the need for AC coupling capacitors and increasing performance for
systems with excessive clock jitter. The AK4397 accepts 192kHz PCM data and 1-bit DSD data, ideal for
a wide range of applications including DVD-Audio and SACD. The AK4397 has a functional compatibility
with the AK4393/4/5 and lower power dissipation.

OPERATION OVERVIEW
■ D/A Conversion Mode
In serial mode, the AK4397 can perform D/A conversion for either PCM data or DSD data. The D/P bit controls
PCM/DSD mode. When DSD mode, DSD data can be input from DCLK, DSDL and DSDR pins. When PCM mode,
PCM data can be input from BICK, LRCK and SDATA pins. When PCM/DSD mode changes by D/P bit, the AK4397
should be reset by RSTN bit. It takes about 2/fs to 3/fs to change the mode. In parallel mode, the AK4397 performs for
only PCM data.

Table 1. PCM/DSD Mode Control
■ System Clock
[1] PCM Mode
The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4397, are MCLK, BICK and LRCK. MCLK should be
synchronized with LRCK but the phase is not critical. The MCLK is used to operate the digital interpolation filter and the
delta-sigma modulator. When external clocks are changed, the AK4397 should be reset by PDN pin or RSTN bit.
All external clocks (MCLK, BICK and LRCK) should always be present whenever the AK4397 is in normal operation
mode (PDN pin = “H”). If these clocks are not provided, the AK4397 may draw excess current because the device utilizes
dynamic refreshed logic internally. If the external clocks are not present, the AK4397 should be in the power-down mode
(PDN pin = “L”) or in the reset mode (RSTN bit = “0”). After exiting reset (PDN pin = “L” → “H”) at power-up etc., the
AK4397 is in power-down mode until MCLK is supplied.
(1) Parallel Mode (P/S pin = “H”)
1. Manual Setting Mode (ACKS pin = “L”)
MCLK frequency is detected automatically and the sampling speed is set by DFS0 pin (Table 2). The MCLK frequency
corresponding to each sampling speed should be provided (Table 3). DFS1 bit is fixed to “0”. When DFS0 pin is changed,
the AK4397 should be reset by PDN pin. Quad speed mode is not supported in this mode.

A digital de-emphasis filter is available for 32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz sampling rates (tc = 50/15µs) and is enabled or
disabled with DEM1-0 pins or DEM1-0 bits. In case of double speed and quad speed mode, the digital de-emphasis filter
is always off. When DSD mode, DEM1-0 bits are ignored. The setting value is held even if PCM mode and DSD mode

■ Output Volume
The AK4397 includes channel independent digital output volumes (ATT) with 256 levels at linear step including MUTE.
These volumes are in front of the DAC and can attenuate the input data from 0dB to –48dB and mute. When changing
levels, transitions are executed via soft changes; thus no switching noise occurs during these transitions. The transition
time of 1 level and all 256 levels is shown in Table 13.

■ Zero Detection
The AK4397 has channel-independent zeros detect function. When the input data at each channel is continuously zeros
for 8192 LRCK cycles, DZF pin of each channel goes to “H”. DZF pin of each channel immediately goes to “L” if input
data of each channel is not zero after going DZF pin “H”. If RSTN bit is “0”, DZF pins of both channels go to “H”. DZF
pins of both channels go to “L” at 4 ~ 5/fs after RSTN bit returns to “1”. If DZFM bit is set to “1”, DZF pins of both
channels go to “H” only when the input data at both channels are continuously zeros for 8192 LRCK cycles. Zero detect
function can be disabled by DZFE bit. In this case, DZF pins of both channels are always “L”. DZFB bit can invert the
polarity of DZF pin.
■ Soft Mute operation
Soft mute operation is performed at digital domain. When SMUTE pin goes to “H” or SMUTE bit goes to “1”, the output
signal is attenuated by −∞ during ATT_DATA × ATT transition time (Table 13) from the current ATT level. When
SMUTE pin is returned to “L” or SMUTE bit is returned to “0”, the mute is cancelled and the output attenuation gradually
changes to the ATT level during ATT_DATA × ATT transition time. If the soft mute is cancelled before attenuating −∞
after starting the operation, the attenuation is discontinued and returned to ATT level by the same cycle. The soft mute is
effective for changing the signal source without stopping the signal transmission.

(2) Analog output corresponding to digital input has the group delay (GD).
(3) If the soft mute is cancelled before attenuating −∞ after starting the operation, the attenuation is discontinued
and returned to ATT level by the same cycle.
(4) When the input data at each channel is continuously zeros for 8192 LRCK cycles, DZF pin of each channel goes
to “H”. DZF pin immediately goes to “L” if input data are not zero after going DZF pin “H”.

■ System Reset
The AK4397 should be reset once by bringing PDN pin = “L” upon power-up. The analog section exits power-down
mode by MCLK input and then the digital section exits power-down mode after the internal counter counts MCLK during
4/fs.

■ Power-Down
The AK4397 is placed in the power-down mode by bringing PDN pin “L” and the anlog outputs are floating (Hi-Z).
Figure 12 shows an example of the system timing at the power-down and power-up.

(2) Analog outputs are floating (Hi -Z) at the power-down mode.
(3) Click noise occurs at the edge (“↑ ↓”) of PDN signal. This noise is output even if “0” data is input.
(4) The external clocks (MCLK, BICK and LRCK) can be stopped in the power-down mode (PDN pin = “L”).
(5) Please mute the analog output externally if the click noise (3) influences system application.
The timing example is shown in this figure.
(6) DZF pins are “L” in the power-down mode (PDN pin = “L”).
Other:
After exiting power-down mode (PDN pin: “L” Æ “H”), AOUT pins go to VCOM voltage (AVDD/2). This time is
set by a capacitor connected to VCOM pin and the internal resistor of VCOM pin.
E.g. C = 10μF
1 τ (typ) = 10μF x 0.75kΩ = 7.5ms, 5τ (typ) = 37.5ms
1 τ (max) = 10μF x 0.975kΩ = 9.75ms, 5τ (max) = 48.75ms

■ Reset Function
When RSTN bit = “0”, the AK4397’s digital section is powered down but the internal register values are not initialized.
The analog outputs go to VCOM voltage and DZF pins of both channels go to “H”. Figure 13 shows the example of reset
by RSTN bit.

(4) The external clocks (MCLK, BICK and LRCK) can be stopped in the reset mode (RSTN bit = “0”).
(5) DZF pins go to “H” when the RSTN bit becomes “0”, and go to “L” at 2/fs after RSTN bit becomes “1”.
(6) There is a delay, 3 ~ 4/fs from RSTN bit “0” to the internal RSTN bit “0”, and 2 ~ 3/fs from RSTN bit “1”
to the internal RSTN bit “1”.

■ Register Control Interface
Pins (parallel control mode) or registers (serial control mode) can control each functions of the AK4397. In parallel mode,
the register setting is ignored and the pin setting is ignored in serial mode. When the state of P/S pin is changed, the
AK4397 should be reset by PDN pin. The serial control interface is enabled by the P/S pin = “L”. In this mode, pin setting
must be all “L”. Internal registers may be written by 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”), Register address (MSB first, 5bits)
and Control data (MSB first, 8bits). The AK4397 latches the data on the rising edge of CCLK, so data should be clocked
in on the falling edge. The writing of data becomes valid by CSN “↑”. The clock speed of CCLK is 5MHz (max).

- Power lines of AVDD and DVDD should be distributed separately from the point with low impedance of regulator
etc.
- VSS1-4 must be connected to the same analog ground plane.
- When AOUT drives some capacitive load, some resistor should be added in series between AOUT and

Figure 16. Ground Layout
1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
To minimize coupling by digital noise, decoupling capacitors should be connected to AVDD, VDDL/R and DVDD,
respectively. AVDD, VDDL/R is supplied from analog supply in system and DVDD is supplied from digital supply in
system. Power lines of AVDD, VDDL/R and DVDD should be distributed separately from the point with low impedance
of regulator etc. The power up sequence between AVDD, VDDL/R and DVDD is not critical. VSS1-4 must be
connected to the same analog ground plane. Decoupling capacitors for high frequency should be placed as near
as possible.
2. Voltage Reference
The differential Voltage between VREFHL/R and VREFLL/R set the analog output range. VREFHL/R pin is normally
connected to AVDD and VREFLL/R pin is normally connected to VSS. VREFHL/R and VREFLL/R should be
connected with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. VCOM is a signal ground of this chip. An electrolytic capacitor 10µF parallel
with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor attached between VCOM and VSS eliminates the effects of high frequency noise. No load
current may be drawn from VCOM pin. All signals, especially clocks, should be kept away from the VREFHL/R,
VREFLL/R and VCOM pins in order to avoid unwanted coupling into the AK4397.
3. Analog Outputs
The analog outputs are full differential outputs and 2.8Vpp (typ, VREFHL/R − VREFLL/R = 5V) centered around
VCOM. The differential outputs are summed externally, VAOUT = (AOUT+) − (AOUT−) between AOUT+ and AOUT−.
If the summing gain is 1, the output range is 5.6Vpp (typ, VREFHL/R − VREFLL/R = 5V). The bias voltage of the
external summing circuit is supplied externally. The input data format is 2's complement. The output voltage (VAOUT) is a
positive full scale for 7FFFFFH (@24bit) and a negative full scale for 800000H (@24bit). The ideal VAOUT is 0V for
000000H(@24bit).
The internal switched-capacitor filters attenuate the noise generated by the delta-sigma modulator beyond the audio
passband. Figure 17 shows an example of external LPF circuit summing the differential outputs by an op-amp.
Figure 18 shows an example of differential outputs and LPF circuit example by three op-amps.

It is recommended for SACD format book (Scarlet Book) that the filter response at SACD playback is an analog low pass
filter with a cut-off frequency of maximum 50kHz and a slope of minimum 30dB/Oct. The AK4397 can achieve this filter
