CLK01 NOTE When using the 8CH-DMIC board with the i.MX RT600 EVK (MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK) board, the codec device on the MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK board must have the MCLK clock frequency reduced to 4.096 MHz and the Input Sample Rate (LRCK) must be reduced to 16 kHz. This change in clock frequency and LRCK maintains compliance of the MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK board with mandatory FCC and EU EMC limitations.
