1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AKD4619-A is an evaluation board designed to demonstrate the characteristics of AK4619, which

is 4ch 32-bit 192KHz audio CODEC. The control settings of this board may be controlled via USB port,

allowing for easy A/D and D/A evaluation. Analog 3.5mm stereo jacks are used for the input and output

of the analog signals. This board also has a digital interface which can be connected to the digital audio

system via optical connector.

ADC : X’tal mode

Figure 10. B1 setting path ADC in X’tal mode

Without the OPT-IN (PORT300) input, the AK4118A operates in X'tal mode.

(1) In X'tal mode, LRCK is determined by setting OCKS1 and OCKS0pin of SW300_4-5pin based on

24.576MHz of X'tal oscillator.

(2) In X'tal mode, AK4118A also shifts to the loopback that connects the DAUX signal to the SDTO, and the

signal comes to the DIO of PORT408,409. Connect the jumper of PORT408,409 to GND.
