2) D/A part evaluation using 10-pin connector on the AKM’s A/D evaluation board Use PORT3 (DSP). It is able to evaluate the AK4440, connecting the 10-pin connector on the AKM’s A/D evaluation board and PORT3 (DSP) via 10-line flat cable. MCLK, BICK, LRCK and SDTI are sent from the A/D converter evaluation board to the AKD4440 through PORT3 (DSP) via 10-line flat cable.
