GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AK4386 is a 24bit low voltage & low power stereo DAC. The AK4386 uses the Advanced Multi-Bit ΔΣ
architecture, this architecture achieves DR=100dB at 3V operation. The AK4386 integrates a
combination of SCF and CTF filters increasing performance for systems with excessive clock jitter. The
AK4386 is suitable for the portable audio system like MP3 and the home audio systems like STB and TV,
etc as low power and small package. The AK4386 is offered in a space saving 16pin TSSOP package.

OPERATION OVERVIEW
System Clock
The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4386, are MCLK, BIC K and LRCK. The master clock (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. The MCLK frequency is detected from the relation between MCLK and LRCK
automatically. The Half speed, the Normal speed and the Double speed mode are selected with the DFS1-0 pi ns (Table 1).
The sampling s peed mode i s set dependi ng on t he MCLK fr equency automa tically for Auto m ode (D FS1 pin = DF S0 pi n
= “H”) (Table 2).
The AK4386 is automatically placed in the power save m ode when MCLK stops in t he normal operation m ode (PDN pin
= “H”), and the analog output becomes the V COM volta ge. After M CLK is i nput again, the AK438 6 is powe red up. A fter
exiting reset at power-up etc., the AK4386 is in the power-down mode until MCLK and LRCK are input.
When the states of DIF1-0 pins change in the normal operation mode, the AK4386 should be reset by PDN pin.

Data is shifted in via the SDTI pin using BICK and LRCK inputs. The DIF1-0 pins as shown in Table 3 can select four
serial data modes. In all modes the serial data is MSB-first, 2’s compliment format and is latched on the rising edge of
BICK. Mode 3 can be used for 16bit I2S Compatible format by zeroing the unused LSBs at BICK 48fs or BICK = 32fs.

De-emphasis Filter
The AK4386 includes the digital de-emphasis filter (tc=50/15μs) by IIR filter. This filter corresponds to 44.1kHz
sampling. The de-emphasis filter is enabled by setting DEM pin “H”. In case of Half speed and Double speed mode, the
digital de-emphasis filter is always off.

Note. The digital de-emphasis filter correspon ds to 44.1kHz sampling.
In case of Half speed and Double speed mode, the digital de-emphasis filter is always off.
Power-down
The AK4386 is placed in the power-down mode by bringing PDN pin = “L”. and the digital filter is reset at the sam e time.
This reset should always be done after power up.
When PDN pin = “L”, D AC outputs go to Hi-Z. Al so, the int er nal p o wer d ow n i s automati cally done when M C LK st o ps

Figure 7. Typical Connection Diagram
1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
The AK4386 requires car e ful attention to power supply and grounding arrangements. VDD is usually supplied from the
analog supply in the system. System 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 AK4386 as possible,
with the small value ceramic capacitor being the closest.
2. Voltage Reference
The differenti al Volta ge between VD D and VSS set s the analog o utput ra nge. VCOM is used as a com m on voltage of t he
analog signal. VCOM pin is a signal ground of this ch ip. An electrolytic capacitor about 4.7μF should be attached
between VCOM pin and VSS. No load current may be drawn from VCOM pin. Especially, the ceramic capacitor should
be connected to this pin as near as possible.
3. Analog Outputs
The analog outputs are single-ended and centered around the VCOM voltage (0.55 × VDD). The output signal range is
typically 2.0Vpp (typ@VDD=3.0V). The internal switched-capacitor filter and continuous-time filter attenuate the noise
generated by the delta-sigma modulator beyond the audio passband. The output voltage is a positive full scale for
7FFFFFH (@24bit) and a negative full scale for 800000H (@24bit). The ideal output is VCOM voltage (0.55 × VDD) for
000000H (@24bit).
DC offsets on analog output s are elimi nated by AC coupling since analog outp uts have DC of fsets of VCOM + a few mV.
