Functional Description
The AK9822/24 is composed of EEPROM and the 8bit D/A converter of two channels with the
output buffer amplifier.
The AK9822/24 can connect to the serial communication port of popular one chip microcomputer
directly (3 line negative clock synchronous interface).
The AK9822/24 takes the data of the DI pin by the rising edge of the SK pin and outputs the data
from the DO pin by the falling edge of the SK pin.
The AK9822/24 has 7 instructions such as READ, WRITE, WREN, WRDS, PDEN, PDDS and CALL.
The AK9822/24 is operated by inputting these instructions from the serial interface. Each instruction
is organized by op-code block (8bits), address block (8bits) and data (8bitsÕ2).
The DO pin is "Hi-Z" state except that the DO pin outputs the data of the internal register and the
status of Ready/Busy.
WRITE protection function
There are two states such as the WRITE enable state and the WRITE disable state in the
AK9822/24. In the WRITE disable state the WRITE instruction becomes invalid and is not executed.
When Vcc is applied to the part, the part powers up in the WRITE disable state and the part
becomes the WRITE enable state by inputting the WREN instruction. The WRITE enable state
continues until the WRDS instruction is executed or Vcc is removed from the part.
Execution of a READ instruction is independent of both WREN and WRDS instructions.
Power down function
There are two modes such as the power down mode and the normal mode in the AK9822/24. When
the AK9822/24 is in the power down mode, the D/A converter section is in the standby state. At this
time, the outputs of the D/A converters become "Hi-Z".
When Vcc is applied to the part, the AK9822/24 is in the power down mode. When a AUTO READ
function is executed, the part becomes the normal mode. After the AUTO READ function is
executed, the mode of the part can be switched by the PDEN and PDDS instructions. The
AK9822/24 becomes the power down mode by inputting the PDEN instruction. The part is in the
power down mode until the PDDS instruction is executed. When the PDDS instruction is executed,
the part becomes the normal mode.
When returning to the normal mode from the power down mode, the D/A converters output the
voltage value set before entering the power down mode. The relation between the D/A converter
state and the mode are shown in the table 1.

Output of D/A converter
The output of the D/A converters can be set by the WRITE and the CALL instructions.
Upper 8bit data (D15∼D8) of the first address of the internal EEPROM (the address "0")
corresponds to "AO" of the D/A converter output. Lower 8bit data (D7∼D0) of the address "0"
corresponds to "A1". The internal composition of EEPROM is shown in the table2.

Table2. Internal composition of EEPROM
If the WRITE instruction by which the address "0" is specified is executed at the normal mode, the
outputs of the D/A converter of A0 and A1 are set by the specified data.
When the WRITE instruction by which the address "0" is specified is executed at the WRITE enable
state and the normal mode, the data is written in the address "0" of EEPROM and the outputs of the
D/A converter are set. When the WRITE instruction by which the address "0" is specified is
executed at the WRITE disable state and the normal mode, the data is not written in EEPROM and
the outputs of the D/A converter are set. Table3 shows the relation between EEPROM, D/A
converter and WRITE instruction.

Table3. Relation between EEPROM, D/A converter and WRITE instruction
If the CALL instruction is executed, the outputs of the D/A converter are set by the data of the
general purpose memory (AK9822:address "1" -"127", AK9824:address "1" -"255"). The CALL
instruction is composed by the op-code and the address.
When the CALL instruction is executed at the normal mode, the D/A converter output of A0 is set by
the upper 8bit data (D15∼D8) of the specified address and the output of A1 is set by the lower 8bit
data (D7∼D0). The CALL instruction is not executed at the power down mode.

AUTO READ function
AUTO READ function automatically reads the content of EEPROM and sets the output of the D/A
converter of two channels, when Vcc is applied to the part.
When Vcc is applied to the part in CS="L", the AUTO READ function starts by falling CS pin first.
After the CS pin is made a low level, the output of AO0 and AO1 is set within 2ms. At this time, the
input pins (SK, DI) other than the CS pin are not accepted, and the serial data is not output from the
DO pin. If the WREN instruction is executed after the AUTO READ function finished, AK9822/24
becomes the WRITE enable state.
After Vcc is applied to the part, the AUTO READ function is executed only once.
AUTO READ function is executed when Vcc is applied to the part in CS="L".
(note) Because AK9822/24 always executes the AUTO READ function first after Vcc is applied to
the part, AK9822/24 is not able to accept the instruction for the first period of "L" of the CS.
Instruction and Composition of the data
Each instruction consist of op-code, address, and data (8bitÕ2) composed in each 8bit. The
composition of the WRITE instruction is shown as follows.

WRITE
The WRITE instruction is followed by 16 bits of data to be written into the specified address. After
the 32nd rising edge of SK to read the DI pin in, the AK9822/24 will be put into the automatic write
time-out period.
The DO pin indicates the Ready/Busy status of the EEPROM in the AK9822/24. After the 32nd
rising edge of SK to read the Di pin in, the AK9822/24 will be put into the automatic write time-out
period. When the automatic write time-out period starts, the DO pin outputs the Ready/Busy status.
When the DO pin outputs the low level, the AK9822/24 is in the automatic write time-out and the
next instruction can not be accepted. When the DO pin outputs the high level, the automatic write
time-out period has ended and the AK9822/24 is ready for a next instruction.
When the CS pin is changed to high level after confirmation of Ready/Busy signal on the DO pin, the
DO pin becomes "Hi-Z". The Ready/Busy signal outputs until the CS pin is changed to high level, or
the initial 1 bit ("1") of the next instruction is given to the part.

READ
The READ instruction is the only instruction which outputs serial data on the DO pin. When the 17th
falling edge of SK is received, the Do pin will come out of high impedance state and shift out the
data from D15 first in descending order which is located at the address specified in the instruction.
{ Sequential READ
When the clock is provided on the SK pin after the data in the specified address is read, the data
in the next address is read.
AK9822 • • When the clock is provided on the SK pin after the data in the address:7F (Hex) is
read, the data in the address:00 (Hex) is read.
AK9824 • • When the clock is provided on the SK pin after the data in the address:FF (Hex) is
read, the data in the address:00 (Hex) is read.

WREN/WRDS
There are two states such as the WRITE enable state and the WRITE disable state in the
AK9822/24. In the WRITE disable state the WRITE instruction becomes invalid and is not executed.
When Vcc is applied to the part, it powers up in the WRITE disable state. The WRITE instruction
must be preceded by a WREN instruction. This state remains enabled until a WRDS instruction is
executed or Vcc is removed from the part.
Execution of a read instruction is not affected by both WREN and WRDS instruction.
WREN/WRDS (AK9822/24)
PDEN/PDDS
There are two modes such as the power down mode and the normal mode in the AK9822/24. The
mode of the part can be switched by the PDEN and PDDS instructions. The AK9822/24 becomes
the power down mode by inputting the PDEN instructions. When the PDDS instruction is executed,
the part becomes the normal mode.
When returning to the normal mode from the power down mode, the D/A converters output the
voltage value set before entering the power down mode.
