AK4424 Evaluation Board Rev.1
General Description
AKD4424-SA is an evaluation board for AK4424 (192kHz sampling 24Bit StereoΔΣDAC with 2Vrms
Output). AKD4424-SA has a digital audio interface (AK4115) of Optical input and can easily achieve the
interface with digital audio system. Therefore, it is easy to evaluate the sound quality of AK4424.

Comment
(1) LOUT, ROUT (BNC-JACK)
It is analog signal output Jack. The signal is output from LOUT/ROUT pins.
(2) COAX, PORT1, PORT2 (Digital signal connector)
COAX (BNC-JACK): Digital signal (SPDIF, Fs: 24∼48kHz) is input to the AK4115. (Default)
PORT1 (Optical Connecter): Optical digital signal (SPDIF, Fs: 32∼48kHz) is input to the AK4115.
PORT2 (10 pin header): The clock and data can be input and output with this connector.
(3) REG, VDD, AGND, CVDD, VCC
These are the power supply connectors. Connect power supply with these pins.
As for the detail comments, refer to the setup of power supply in P3.
(4) SW1, SW2 (Switch)
SW1: Setting of frequency of MCKO that is output from AK4115.
SW2: Reset of AK4115. Keep “H” during normal operation.

Table 1.Set up of power supply lines
Note 1 ) Use regulator: T2 can supply AK4115 with clear voltage:
R36: Short (0Ω) Open; R34,R35:Open Short (0Ω); Connect to VCC with 12V power supply.
Note 2 ) Use regulator: T1 can supply AK4424 with clear voltage:
R25,R44: Short (0Ω) Open; R37,R43:Open Short (0Ω); VDD, CVDD should be open. Connect to REG with
12V power supply.
2) DIP Switch setting:
Refer to Table 2 and Table 3
3) Power Down:
The AK4115 should be reset once by bringing SW2 (AK4115 PDN) “L” upon power-up.
Evaluation mode
1. Using DIR (Optical Link)
The DIR generates MCLK, BICK, LRCK and SDATA from the received data through optical connector (PORT1:
TORX141). It is possible to evaluate the AK4424 by using CD disk.
Setting: R19: Open 470Ω; R33: short (0Ω) Open
2. Using DIR (COAX) (Default)
The DIR generates MCLK, BICK, LRCK and SDATA from the received data through BNC connector (J3). It is
possible to evaluate the AK4424 by using CD disk.
Setting: R19: Open; R33: short (0Ω); (Default)
* COAX is recommended for an evaluation of the Sound quality.
3. Supply all interface signals that includ master clock via PORT2 from external equipments..
Setting:
R11: 5.1Ω Open
R12, R13, R14: 51Ω Open
R15, R16, R17, R18: Open 51Ω or short (0Ω)
Note) The above work of removing (open) or shorting resistors need to modify the connection by soldering.
