OPERATION OVERVIEW
n System Clock
The external clocks required to operate the AK4566 are MCLK(256fs/384fs/512fs), LRCK(fs) and BICK. The master clock (MCLK) should be synchronized with sampling clock (LRCK). The phase between these clocks does not matter. The frequency of MCLK is detected automatically, and the internal master clock becomes the appropriate frequency. Table 1 shows system clock example.

48kHz 12.288 18.432 24.576 3.072
Table 1. System Clock Example
All external clocks (MCLK, BICK and LRCK) should always be present whenever the ADC or DAC is in normal operation mode (PMADC bit = “1” or PMDAC bit = “1”). If these clocks are not provided, the AK4566 may draw excess current and will not operate properly because it utilizes these clocks for internal dynamic refresh of registers. If the external clocks are not present, ADC and DAC should be placed in the power-down mode (PMADC bit = PMDAC bit = “0”). When MCLK is input with AC coupling, MCKAC bit should be set to “1”. When MCLK with AC coupling stops, MCKPD bit should be set to “1”.
When low sampling rate, DR and S/N degrade because of the outband noise. DR and S/N are approved by setting DFS bit to “1”. Table 2 shows S/N in the case DAC output to HP-amp and MOUT. When DFS bit is “1”, MCLK needs 512fs. When sampling frequency is changed at normal operation mode of ADC or DAC (PMADC bit = “1” or PMDAC bit = “1”), DAC output should be soft-muted or “0” data should be input to avoid click noise.

n Serial Data Interface
The AK4566 interfaces with external system by using BICK, LRCK, SDTO and SDTI pins. Four data formats are available and are selected by setting DIF1 and DIF0 bits (Table 3). Mode 0 of SDTI is compatible with existing 16bit DACs and digital filters. Mode 1 of SDTI is a 20bit version of Mode 0. Mode 2 of SDTI is similar to AKM ADCs and many DSP serial ports. Mode 3 is compatible with the I 2S serial data protocol. In Mode 2 and 3 of SDTI, 16bit data followed by four zeros also could be input, 18bit data followed by two zeros also could be input. In all modes, the serial data is MSB first and 2’s complement format.

n Digital High Pass Filter
The AK4566 has a Digital High Pass Filter (HPF) to cancel DC-offset in ADC and IPGA. The cut-off frequency of the HPF is 3.4Hz at fs=44.1kHz. It also scales with the sampling frequency (fs).
ASAHI KASEI AKM CONFIDENTIAL[AK4566] n ALC Operation
[1] ALC Limiter Operation
During the ALC limiter operation, when either output level of Lch or Rch in IPGA exceeds ALC limiter detection level set by LMTH bit, IPGA value is automatically attenuated by ALC limiter ATT step set by LMAT1-0 bits. Then the IPGA value is changed commonly for Lch and Rch.
At ZELMN bit = “1”, timeout period is set by LTM1-0 bits. The operation for attenuation is done continuously until the IPGA output signal level becomes LMTH or less. After finishing the operation for attenuation, unless ALC bit is changed to “0”, the operation of attenuation repeats when the IPGA output signal level exceeds LMTH.
At ZELMN bit = “0”, timeout period is set by ZTM1-0 bits. The IPGA value is automatically attenuated with zero crossing detection.
The ALC operation of the AK4566 corresponds to the impulse noise. If the impulse noise is supplied at ZELMN = “0”, the ALC limiter operation becomes the faster period than a set of ZTM1-0 bits. In case of ZELMN = “1”, it becomes the same period as LTM1-0 bits.
[2] ALC Recovery Operation
The ALC recovery operation waits until a time set by WTM1-0 bits after completing the ALC limiter operation. If the output signal does not exceed recovery waiting counter reset level set by LMTH bit, the ALC recovery operation is done. The IPGA value automatically increases by this operation up to the reference level set by REF6-0 bits with zero crossing detection which timeout period is set by ZTM1-0 bits. Then the IPGA value is set for Lch and Rch commonly. The ALC recovery operation is done at a period set by WTM1-0 bits. When zero cross is detected at the IPGA output during the wait period set by WTM1-0 bits, the ALC recovery operation waits until WTM1-0 period and the next recovery operation is done.
During the ALC recovery operation or the recovery waiting, when either output signal level of Lch or Rch in IPGA exceeds the ALC limiter detection level set by LMTH bit, the ALC recovery operation changes into the ALC limiter operation immediately.
In case of
(Recovery waiting counter reset level) ≤ (IPGA output level) < (Limiter detection level)
during the ALC recovery operation, the waiting timer of ALC recovery operation is reset. Therefore, when (Recovery waiting counter reset level) > (IPGA output level),
the waiting timer of ALC recovery operation starts.
The ALC operation of the AK4566 corresponds to the impulse noise. If the impulse noise is supplied, the ALC recovery operation becomes the faster period than a set of ZTM1-0 or WTM1-0 bits.
Others:
When either channel enters the limiter operation during the waiting time of zero crossing, the present ALC recovery operation stops, according as the small value of IPGA (a channel waiting zero crossing), the ALC limiter operation is done. When both channels are waiting for the next ALC recovery operation, the ALC limiter operation is done from the IPGA value of a point in time.
ZTM1-0 bits set zero crossing timeout and WTM1-0 bits set the ALC recovery operation period. When the ALC recovery waiting time (WTM1-0 bits) is shorter than zero crossing timeout period (ZTM1-0 bits), the ALC recovery is operated by the zero crossing timeout period. Therefore, in this case, the ALC recovery operation period is not constant.
ASAHI KASEI AKM CONFIDENTIAL[AK4566] [3] ALC Operation Example
The following registers should not be changed during the ALC operation:
LTM1-0, LMTH, LMAT1-0, WTM1-0, ZTM1-0, RATT, REF6-0, ZELMN.
Figure 14. Registers set-up sequence at ALC operation (WR=Write)
ASAHI KASEI AKM CONFIDENTIAL[AK4566] n IPGA Operation
[Write Operation at ALC Enabled]
The values of IPGA6-0 bits are ignored during ALC operation.
[Write Operation at ALC Disabled]
Channel independent zero crossing detection is used. If there is no zero crossings, then the level will change after a timeout. The ZTM1-0 bits set the zero crossing timeout. When the IPGA7-0 bits are written by μP, the zero crossing counter is reset and starts. When the IPGA output signal detects zero crossing or zero crossing timeout, the written value by μP becomes valid.
When writing to the IPGA7-0 bits continually, the control register should be written by an interval more than zero crossing timeout. If not, there is a possibility that each IPGA of L/R channels has a different gain. [IPGA Gain after completing ALC operation]
The IPGA7-0 bits are not updated by the actual gain of IPGA changed during ALC operation. In order to set the actual gain of IPGA with the IPGA7-0 bits, the IPGA7-0 bits should be written after zero crossing timeout period when completing ALC operation (ALC bit= “1” à “0”).
ASAHI KASEI AKM CONFIDENTIAL[AK4566] n Digital Attenuator
The AK4566 has channel-independent digital attenuator (256 levels, 0.5dB step). This digital attenuator is placed before D/A converter. ATTL/R7-0 bits set the attenuation level (0dB to -127dB or MUTE) of each channel (Table 19). At DATTC= “1”, ATTL7-0 bits control both Lch and Rch attenuation level. At DATTC= “0”, ATTL7-0 bits control Lch level and ATTR7-0 bits control Rch level.
ATS bit set the transition time between set values of ATT7-0 bits as either 1061/fs or 7424/fs (Table 15). At ATS= “0”, the transition between set values is soft transition of 1062 levels. It takes 1061/fs (24ms@fs=44.1kHz) from FFH(0dB) to 00H(MUTE). The ATTs are 00H when PMDAC bit is “0”. When PMDAC returns to “1”, the ATTs fade to their current value. Digital attenuator is independent of soft mute function.
n Soft Mute
Soft mute operation is performed in the digital domain. When SMUTE bit goes to “1”, the output signal is attenuated by -∞(“0”) via the cycle set by TM1-0 bit (Table 18). When SMUTE bit returns to “0”, the mute is cancelled and the output attenuation gradually changes to 0dB via the cycle set by TM1-0 bits. If the soft mute is cancelled within the cycle set by TM1-0 bits after starting the operation, the attenuation is discontinued and returned to 0dB. The soft mute is effective for changing the signal source without stopping the signal transmission.

NOTE:
(1) The output signal is attenuated until -∞ (“0”) by the cycle set by TM1-0 bits.
(2) Analog output corresponding to digital input have the group delay (GD).
(3) If the soft mute is cancelled within the cycle set by TM1-0 bits, the attenuation is discontinued and returned to
0dB(the setting value).
