AK4584 Evaluation Board Rev.A GENERAL DESCRIPTION AKD4584 is an evaluation board for the 24bit 96kHz CODEC, AK4584. The AKD4584 can evaluate A/D converter D/A converter separately in addition to loop back mode (A/D → D/A). The AKD4584 also has the digital audio interface and can achieve the interface with digital audio systems via opt-connector.
The analog output of AK4584’s DAC outputs from J2 (ROUT), J4 (LOUT). ROUT ROUT LOUT LOUT Figure 3. LOUT/ROUT Output circuits * AKM assumes no responsibility for the trouble when using the above circuit examples. <KM065802> 2009/06 - 2 -...
