The AK4382 offers the perfect mix for cost and performance based audio systems. Using AKM's multi bit
architecture for its modulator the AK4382 delivers a wide dynamic range while preserving linearit y for
improved THD+N performance. The AK4382 has full differential SCF outputs, removing the need for AC
coupling capacitors and increasing performance for systems with excessive clock jitter. The 24 Bit word
length and 192kHz sampling rate make this part ideal for a wide range of applications including DVDAudio. The AK4382 is offered in a space saving 16pin TSSOP package.

The external clocks, which are required to operate the A K4382, are MCL K, L RCK an d BICK. The m aster clock (MCL K)
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. There are two methods to set MCLK frequency. In Manual Setting Mode (ACKS =
“0”: Register 00H), the sampling speed is set by DFS0/1(Table 1). The frequency of MCLK at each sampling speed is set
automatically. (Table 2~4). In Auto Setting Mode (ACKS = “1”: Default), as MCLK frequency is detected automatically
(Table 5), and the internal master clock becomes the appropriate frequency (Table 6), it is no t necessary to set DFS0/1.
All external clocks (MCLK,BIC K an d LRCK) should always be present wh en ev er th e A K4382 is in the normal operation
mode (PDN= ”H”). If these clocks are not provided, the AK4382 may draw excess current because the device utilizes
dynamic refreshed logic internally. The AK4382 should be reset by PDN= “L” after threse clocks are provided. If the
external clocks are not present, the AK4382 should be in the power-down mode (PDN= “L”). After exiting reset at
power-up etc., the AK4382 is in the power-down mode until MCLK and LRCK are input.

Data is shifted in via the SDTI pin using BI CK and LRCK inp uts. T he DIF0-2 as shown in T able 7 can select five serial

Mode 2 can be used for 16/20 MSB justified formats by zeroing the unused LSBs.
A digital de-emphasis filter is available for 32, 44.1 or 48kHz sampling rates (tc = 50/15µs) and is enabled or disabled with

The AK4382 includes channel independent dig ital ou tpu t v olumes (ATT) with 256 levels at linear step in clu ding 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 9.

n Zero Detection
The AK4382 has channel-independent zeros detect function . When the input data at each channel is continuous ly zeros for
8192 LRCK cycles, DZF pin of each ch an n el g oes to “ H”. DZ F pin of each ch an n el immediately goes to “L” if input data
of each channel is n ot zero after goin g DZ F “H”. If RSTN bit is “ 0”, DZF pin s of both channels go to “ H”. DZF pin of both
channels go to “L” at 2~3/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 chann els are alway s “L”. DZFB bit can invert the polarity of DZF pin.
n Soft Mute Operation
Soft mute operation is performed at digital domain. When the SMUTE bit goes to “1”, the output signal is attenuated by -¥
during ATT_DATA´ATT transition time (Table 9) from the current ATT level. When the 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 to -¥ 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.

n System Reset
The AK4382 should be reset once by bringing PDN= ”L” upon power-up. The AK4382 is powered up and the internal
timing starts clocking by LRCK “” after exiting reset and power dow n state by MCL K. The AK4382 is in the pow er-down
mode until MCLK and LRCK are input.

n Mode Control Interface
nn
Internal registers may be written by 3- wire µP interface pins, CSN, CCLK and CDTI. The data on this interface cons ists of
Chip Address (2bits, C1/0; fixed to “01”), Read/Write (1bit; fixed to “1”, Write only), Register Address (MSB first, 5bits)
and Control Data (MSB first, 8bits). AK4382 latches th e data on the rising edg e of CCLK, so data should clock ed in on the
falling edge. The writing of data becomes valid by CSN “”. The clock speed of CCLK is 5MHz (max). The CSN and
CCLK must be fixed to “H” when the register does not be accessed.
PDN = “L” resets the registers to their default values. The internal timing circuit is reset by RSTN bit, but the registers are
not initialized.

1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupli ng
VDD and VSS are supplied from analog supply and should be separated from system digital supply . Decoupling capacitor,
especially 0.1mF ceramic capacitor for high frequency should be placed as near to VDD as possible. The differential
Voltage between VDD and VSS pins set the analog output range.
3. Analog Outputs
The analog outputs are full-differential outputs and 0.55 x VDD Vpp (typ) centered around the internal common voltage
(about AVDD/2). The differential outputs are summed externally, V
=(AOUT+)-(AOUT-) between AOUT+ and
AOUT
AOUT-. If the summing gain is 1, the output range is 5.5Vpp (typ @VREFH=5V). The bias voltage of the external
summing circuit is supplied externally. The input data format is 2’s complement. The output voltage (V
full scale for 7FFFFF (@24bit) and a negative full scale for 800000H (@24bit). The ideal V
is 0V for 000000H
AOUT
) is a positive
AOUT
(@24bit).
The internal switched-capacitor filter and external low pass filter attenuate the noise generated by the delta-sigma
modulator beyond the audio passband. DC of fset on A OUT+/- is eliminated w ithout A C coupling sin ce the analog ou tputs
are differential. Figure 10 and 11 show the example of external op-amp circuit summing the differential outputs.
