  • Page 71: Soft Mute Operation (Pcm, Dsd, Exdf)

    [AK4493] ■ Soft Mute Operation (PCM, DSD, EXDF) The soft mute operation is performed at digital domain. When setting the SMUTE pin to “H” or SMUTE bit to “1”, the output signal is attenuated by  during ATT_DATA  ATT transition time from the current ATT level.

    In this case, the analog signal output and the PDA pin becomes Hi-z state (In I C mode, ACK is not output). The AK4493 must be reset by setting the PDN pin = “L” → “H” to recover from the error detection status.

  • Page 73: Power Up/Down Function

    ■ Power Up/Down Function The AK4493 is powered down when the PDN pin is “L”. In power-down state, all circuits stop operation and initialized, and the analog output becomes floating (Hi-z) state. The PDN pin must held “L” for more than 150ns for a certain reset after all power supplies are on.
  • Page 74 [AK4493] The timing example when not using the internal LDO (LDOE pin = “L”) is shown in Figure When the LDOE pin = “L”, TVDD must be powered up before or at the same time of the DVDD. Power (TVDD)

  • Page 76 [AK4493] Figure 60. Power-down/up Sequence Example (Register Control Mode, LDOE pin = “H”) The system timing example of power up/down when not using LDO (LODE pin = “L”) is shown in Figure 61. When the LDOE pin = “L”, TVDD must be powered up before or at the same time of DVDD.

    (min.) during operation (PDN pin = “H”). In this case, the analog output goes floating state (Hi-Z). The AK4493 returns to normal operation if PW bit and RSTN bit are “1” after starting to supply MCLK again. The zero detect function is disabled when MCLK is stopped.
  • Page 78 (3) Click noise occurs on an edge of PW bit. This noise is output even if “0” data is input. (4) The zero detect function is enable when the AK4493 is power off (PW bit = “0”). This figure shows the seuqnece when DZFE bit = “1”, DZFB bit = “0”...
  • Page 79 [AK4493] [3] Reset by RSTN bit Digital circuits except control registers and clock divider are reset by setting RSTN bit to “0”. In this case, control register settings are held, the analog output becomes VCML/R voltage and the DZFL/R pin outputs “H”.

  • Page 80: Synchronize Function (Pcm, Exdf)

    Synchronize Function (PCM, EXDF) The AK4493 has a function that resets the internal counter to keep the timing of falling edge of the internal clock CLK1 and the external clock edge in a certain range. With this synchronize function, group delays between each device can be kept within 4/256fs when using multiple AK4493’s.
  • Page 81 [AK4493] If RSTN bit is set to “0”, the output signal of the DZFL/R pin becomes “H”. Then, the DAC is reset after 3~ 4/fs and the analog output becomes the same voltage as VCML/R. The synchronize function becomes valid when both of the DZFL and the DZFR pins output “H”.

    When the state of the PSN pin is changed, the AK4493 should be powered down by the PDN pin. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur since previous settings are not initialized. The register control interface is enabled by setting the PSN pin = “L”.
