Note 10. When the LDOE pin = “L”, TVDD must be supplied before DVDD is powered up or at the same
time. The power up sequence between other power supplies is not critical.
Note 11. When the LDOE pin = “H”, the internal LDO supplies 1.8 V (typ) from the DVDD pin. The
power up sequence between AVDD and TVDD is not critical.
Note 12. Reference voltage of VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2 must be input after VDDL1/R1/L2/R2 is powered up
or at the same time. Assuming that VREF Voltage divides into Common Voltage.

Note 13. External circuits shown in Figure 83 are used in Mono mode.
Note 14. When the input signal is 0dBFS, the output current can be calculated by the following formula:
IOUTL1 (Typ. @ 0dBFS) = (IOUTL1P) – (IOUTL1N) = 72.8 mApp (VREFHL1 VREFLL1)/5.
IOUTR1 (Typ. @ 0dBFS) = (IOUTR1P) – (IOUTR1N) =72.8 mApp (VREFHR1 VREFLR1)/5.
IOUTL2 (Typ. @ 0dBFS) = (IOUTL2P) – (IOUTL2N) = 72.8 mApp (VREFHL2 VREFLL2)/5.
IOUTR2 (Typ. @ 0dBFS) = (IOUTR2P) – (IOUTR2N) =72.8 mApp (VREFHR2 VREFLR2)/5.
Note 15. Center current is the current that flows each IOUT pin during common output.
(When positive input of operational amplifier in I-V Conversion = VCOML1/R1/L2/R2 =
(VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2 + VREFLL1/R1/L2/R2)/2V)
Note 16. The load capacitance value of analog output pins (IOUTL1P/L1N/R1P/R1N pins,
OPINL1P/L1N/R1P/R1N pins, IOUTL2P/L2N/R2P/R2N pins, OPINL2P/L2N/R2P/R2N pins) is
with respect to ground.

Note 23. Frequency response refers to the output level of 1 kHz. Stopband attenuation band ranges
from SB to fs.
Note 24. The passband and stopband frequencies scale with fs.
For example, PB = 0.4535 fs (@0.01 dB), SB = 0.546 fs.
Note 25. This value is the gain amplitude in pass band width.
Note 26. The calculating delay time which occurred by digital filtering. This value is from setting the
16/20/24/32 bit data of both channels to the output of analog signal.

9.2. D/A Conversion Mode
The AK4499 is able to convert either PCM or DSD data to an analog signal. D/A conversion mode is in
common for DAC1 and DAC2. In PCM mode, clocks and PCM data can be input from the BICK, LRCK
and SDTI1/2 pins. In DSD mode, clocks and DSD data can be input from the DCLK, DSDL1/2 and
DSDR1/2 pins.
The AK4499 supports external Digital Filter I/F (EXDF) in PCM data input mode. In EXDF mode, clocks
and PCM data can be input from the MCLK, BCK, WCK, DINL1/2 and DINR1/2 pins. Table 3 shows
available functions in PCM/DSD/EXDF mode.
The AK4499 only supports PCM mode in pin control mode.

9.2.1. D/A Conversion Mode Setting and Pin Assignment
Switching PCM/DSD/EXDF mode is executed by setting DP bit and EXDF bit. In DSD mode, the input
clock and the data input pin can be changed by DSDPATH bit. Register settings and pin assignment for
each mode are shown below.
・PCM Mode
The AK4499 enters PCM mode by setting DP bit = “0” and EXDF bit = ”0”. Clock and data are input to
the #43, #44, #45 and #46 pins in PCM mode (Table 4).
・DSD Mode
The AK4499 enters DSD mode by setting DP bit = “1”. In this case, EXDF bit setting will not be reflected
on the circuit operation. In DSD mode, clock and data are input to the #50, #51, #52, #53 and #54 pins
if DSDPATH bit = “0”, and are input to the #43, #44, #45, #46 and #47 pins if DSDPATH bit = “1” (Table
4).
・EXDF Mode
The AK4499 enters EXDF mode by setting DP bit = “0” and EXDF bit = “1”. Clock and data are input to
the #43, #44, #45, #46 and #47 pins in EXDF mode (Table 4).

The AK4499 must be in reset state by setting RSTN bit = “0” when switching the data input mode
(PCM/DSD/EXDF) by DP bit and EXDF bit or when changing DSD signal input path by DSDPATH bit.
RSTN bit should not be changed for 4/fs after switching these modes. It takes 2 to 3/fs for mode
transition.
Switching to DSD mode, manual and automatic settings are selectable. The AK4499 is in manual
setting mode when ADPE bit = “0” and it is in automatic setting mode when ADPE bit = “1”. In automatic
setting mode, the AK4499 monitors input signals to select PCM or DSD mode if EXDF bit = “0”, and it
monitors input signals to select EXDF or DSD mode if EXDF bit = “1”. DP bit setting is ignored in this
mode (ADPE bit = “1”). Refer to “9.11. PCM/DSD, EXDF/DSD Automatic Mode Switching Function” for
details.

9.2.2. D/A Conversion Mode Switching Timing (Manual Setting)
Figure 21, Figure 22 and Figure 23 show switching timing of PCM, DSD and EXDF modes in manual
mode (ADPE bit = “0”). To prevent noise caused by excessive input, DSD signal should be input 4/fs
after setting RSTN bit = “0” until the device is completely reset internally when the conversion mode is
changed to DSD mode from PCM/EXDF mode. DSD signal should be stopped 4/fs after setting RSTN
bit = “0” until the device is completely reset internally when the conversion mode is changed to
PCM/EXDF from DSD mode.

9.3. System Clock
9.3.1. PCM Mode
The external clocks, which are required to operate the AK4499, are MCLK, BICK and LRCK. MCLK,
BICK and LRCK should be synchronized but the phase of MCLK is not critical. MCLK is used to operate
the digital filter, the delta sigma modulator and SR DAC.
For the internal sampling speed mode and MCLK-to-LRCK divider setting, there are two system clock
setting modes in pin control mode and there are three setting modes in register control mode (Table 5,
Table 6).

The AK4499 is automatically placed in standby state when MCLK is stopped for more than 1 μs during
normal operation, and the analog output becomes Hi-z state (Table 47).
When MCLK is input again, the AK4499 exits this power down state and starts operation again. In this
case, register settings are not initialized. The AK4499 is in power down state and the analog output is
floating state (Hi-z) until MCLK, BICK and LRCK are supplied.
9.3.1.1. Fixed Speed Mode (Pin Control Mode)
The AK4499 will be in fixed speed mode by setting ACKS pin = “L” in pin control mode. In this mode,
the sampling speed is fixed to normal speed mode. The MCLK frequency corresponding to each
sampling speed should be provided externally (Table 7).

The AK4499 will be in manual setting mode by setting AFSD bit = “0” and ACKS bit = “0” in register
control mode. In manual setting mode, sampling speed is set by DFS[2:0] bits (Table 8). The MCLK
frequency corresponding to each sampling speed should be provided externally (Table 9, Table 10). The
AK4499 is in manual setting mode when power down is released (PDN pin = “L” → “H”). After changing

(*) When MCLK = 256fs/384fs, auto setting mode supports sampling rates of 8kHz to 96kHz. However,
the oversampling ratio is adjusted from 128 to 64 resulting in ~3dB SNR loss and increased out-ofband noise for sampling rates under 54 kHz.

The external clocks that are required in DSD mode are MCLK and DCLK. MCLK should be
synchronized with DCLK but the phase is not critical. The frequency of MCLK is set by DCKS bit (Table
17). The AK4499 is automatically placed in standby state when MCLK is stopped during normal
operation (PDN pin = “H”), and the analog output becomes Hi-z state. When the reset is released (PDN
bit = “0” → “1”), the AK4499 is in power-down state until MCLK and DCLK are input.

Note 39. The cycle numbers of BICK for each channel must be the same as the bit length setting or
more. L channel data can be input when LRCK = “H” and R channel data can be input when
LRCK = “L” if the LRCK indication is “H/L”. L channel data can be input when LRCK = “L” and
R channel data can be input when LRCK = “H” if the LRCK indication is “L/H”.
Note 40. In Pin Control mode, replace “0” to “L” and “1” to “H” for setting.

9.4.2. DSD Mode (Register Control Mode Only)
4ch Data is shifted in via the DSDL1/2 and DSDR1/2 pins using DCLK inputs (Figure 48). DSD data is
supported by both Normal mode and Phase Modulation mode (Figure 49). The AK4499 does not
support phase modulation when DCLK is 512fs (DSDSEL[1:0] bits = “11”).
Polarity of DCLK is possible to invert by DCKB bit. Input data is clocked in on a rising edge of DCLK
when DCKB bit = “0” and it is clocked in on a falling edge of DCLK when DCKB bit = “1”.
In case of DSD mode, the setting of DIF[2:0] bits is ignored.

9.5. Digital Filter
Six types of digital filter in PCM mode and two types of digital filter in DSD mode are available in the
AK4499 for sound color selection of music playback.
9.5.1. PCM Mode
In PCM mode, the digital filter can be selected by the SD, SLOW and SSLOW pins if the AK4499 is in
Pin Control mode, and it can be selected by the SD, SLOW and SSLOW bits in Register Control mode
(Table 25).

9.6. De-emphasis Filter (PCM Mode)
The AK4499 has a de-emphasis function by IIR filter (50/15 s). This function is only valid in PCM
Normal Speed mode.
In Register Control mode, a digital de-emphasis filter is available for 32kHz*, 44.1kHz or 48kHz*
sampling rates (tc = 50/15µs) and is enabled or disabled by DEM1/2[1:0] bits independently for DAC1
and DAC2 (Table 27). DEM1/2[1:0] bits setting value is held even if the data mode is switched among
PCM, DSD and EXDF modes.

9.7. Digital Attenuator
The AK4499 includes a channel independent digital attenuator for output volumes (ATT) with 256 levels
at 0.5dB step including MUTE (Table 29). When changing output levels, it is executed in soft transition,
thus no switching noise occurs during these transitions. It can attenuate the input data from 0dB to 127dB and MUTE when assuming the output signal level is 0dB when ATTL1/2 [7:0] bits and
ATTR1/2[7:0] bits = “FFH”.
The digital attenuator is disabled in volume bypass mode (DSDD bit = “1”) at DSD mode. Digital
attenuation is fixed to 0 dB in pin control mode.

The transition time of when changing digital output volume is defined as (Transition time of 1 code shift)
x (previous ATT level – changed ATT level). The transition time of 1 code shift is set by ATS[1:0] bits
(Table 30). Register setting values will be kept even switching the PCM and DSD modes.

It takes 4080/fs (92.5 ms @fs = 44.1 kHz) from “FFH” (0dB) to “00H” (MUTE) when ATS[1:0] bits “00” in
PCM mode. ATTL1/2[7:0] bits and ATTR1/2[7:0] bits are initialized to “FFH” (0dB) by setting the PDN
pin = “L”.
If the digital volume attenuation level is changed during reset period, the output volume will become a
setting value after releasing the reset. It will change to a setting value immediately if the volume is
changed within 10/fs after releasing reset.

9.9. Zero Detection, DSD Full-scale Detection
The AK4499 has a zero detection function and a DSD full-scale detection function. These detection
flags can be output from the DZFL/R pin. DDMOE bit selects the output detection flag of the DZFL/R
pin (Table 32). The output polarity of the DZFL/R pin can be inverted by DZFB bit (Table 33).

The AK4499 has a channel-independent zero detection function. As shown in Figure 51, DATT soft
mute block outputs are the monitor nodes of zero detection. Zero detection flag is generated when the
monitor node of each channel is continuously “0” for a detection time shown in Table 34.
Zero detection flag is generated immediately when the AK4499 is set to reset state (RSTN bit = “0”).
Zero detection flag will be cleared in 4/fs–5/fs by releasing the reset (RSTN bit = “1”). The zero
detection function is disabled if Volume Bypass is selected in DSD mode (Table 19).

The AK4499 has independent full-scale detection function for each channel in DSD mode. Mute
function of analog output signal becomes enabled after detecting full-scale signal by setting DDM bit =
“1”. DDM bit setting should be made while PW bit = “0” or RSTN bit = “0”.
Figure 52 shows a block diagram of DSD signal playback. Input data of each channel pin (DSDL1/2 or
DSDR1/2) is received via the DSD_IF block and full-scale detection is executed at the DSD full-scale
detection block. Full-scale detection is valid only the AK4499 is in power-on state.

If the input data of any channel is continuously “H” or “L” for the time set by DDMT bit, the AK4499 is in
full-scale detection state (Table 37) and corresponding DML1/2 or DMR1/2 bit becomes “1”
independently. DML1/2 and DMR1/2 bits can be readout by register reading.
Full-scale detection signal can also be output from the DZFL/R pin by setting DDMOE bit = “1”. The
output flag of the DZFL/R pin can be selected by DZFE, DZFM and DZFSEL bits (Table 36).

[AK4499]
The AK4499 mutes the analog output when full-scale data is input to either L or R channel if DDM bit =
“1”. The output data of DSD_IF block is delayed by Register block for “Setting Time of DDMT bit + 8
DCLK cycles” to avoid clicking noise until the analog output is muted completely when DDM bit = “1”.
Therefore, the analog output delay becomes larger according to this delay time (Table 37). DDM bit
setting should be made while PW1 bit = PW2 bit = “0” or RSTN bit = “0”.
Full-scale detection state is released when the input data of the full-scale input channel is toggled. The
operation after full-scale detection is released is according to DSDD bit setting that selects DSD
playback path (Table 38).
When DSDD bit = “0” (Normal Path), the transition time until the output data returns to normal after
releasing full-scale detection state is according to the setting of ATS[1:0] bits (Table 30).
If DSDD bit = “1” (Volume Bypass), the output data returns to normal immediately when the full-scale
detection state is released.
The full-scale detection function is assuming full-scale input that occurs when switching the data mode
between PCM and DSD modes. Therefore, click noise will not occur when the input signal becomes fullscale from zero data and vice versa but there is a possibility that click noise occurs when the input
signal becomes full-scale from the state there is an input signal and vice versa.

(2) The internal detection flag becomes “1” if the input data is full-scale for a period set by DDMT bit
after releasing internal reset.
(3) Analog output is forced to zero output when full-scale signal is detected. No clicking noise occurs
during a period from digital data input until full-scale detection since the analog output data delays
for Register delay time (Table 37) if DDM bit is set to “1”.
(4) Full-scale detection state is cleared when normal signal is input when the AK4499 is in full-scale
detection state. Analog signal output starts after the Register delay time (Table 37) by clearing the
full-scale detection state.
(5) Analog output transition time is different according to DSDD bit setting. When DSDD bit = “0”,
analog output transition time is set by ATS[1:0] bits (Table 30). When DSDD bit = “1”, analog
output recovers immediately.

[AK4499]
9.11. PCM/DSD, EXDF/DSD Automatic Mode Switching Function
The AK4499 has automatic mode switching function that determines D/A conversion mode from the
input clock and data. This function is available by setting ADPE bit = “1” when the PDN pin = “H” in
register control mode. DP bit is for manual setting. It will be ignored when ADPE bit is “1”.
The automatic mode switching function is valid between PCM mode and DSD mode or EXDF mode
and DSD mode. PCM/DSD automatic switching mode is enabled by setting ADPE bit = “1” when EXDF
bit = “0”, EXDF/DSD automatic switching mode is enabled by setting ADPE bit = “1” when EXDF bit =
“1”. EXDF bit setting should be made before changing ADPE bit = “0” → “1”. Note that automatic mode
switching function is not available between PCM mode and EXDF mode.
The result of automatic mode detection can be readout by ADP bit. When ADPE bit = “1”, ADP bit
outputs “0” if the detection result is PCM or EXDF mode and outputs “1” if it is DSD mode. This readout
function of ADP bit is invalid and “0” data is readout when ADPE bit = “0”.
To prevent clicking noises on mode switching, the mute function of DSD full-scale detection should be
enabled by setting DDM bit = “1” when using this automatic mode switching function. DDM bit must be
set while PW bit or RSTN bit = “0”. By setting DDM bit = “1”, group delay will be 18/fs longer in
PCM/EXDF mode and 136 to 264 DCLK cycle longer according to full-scale detection time setting by
DDMT bit in DSD mode (Table 37). This function does not support DSD phase modulation format and
edge inversion function of DSD receiving data (DCKB bit = “1”).
The automatic mode switching function supports both DSD data paths set by DSDPATH bit. The
AK4499 determines mode from the clock input of the DCLK pin (#52) when DSDPATH bit = “0”, and it
determines mode from clock and data inputs of the BICK/BCK/DCLK pin (#43), LRCK/DSDR1 pin (#45)
and WCK pin (#48).
9.11.1. Automatic Mode Switching when DSDPATH bit = “0”
When DSDPATH bit = “0”, the AK4499 detects PCM (or EXDF) mode or DSD mode by counting a clock
input to the DCLK pin (#52). MCLK should be input during mode detection.
Mode detection condition is different according to DSDSEL[1:0] bits setting. The AK4499 detects DSD
mode if the number of clock pulse in 1/fs is in a range shown in Table 41 and PCM (or EXDF) mode is
detected if not.

DSD Mode
When the mode is changed from PCM (or EXDF) to DSD, zero data should be input to both L and R
channels in DSD mode after inputting zero data to both channels in PCM (or EXDF) mode. When the
mode is changed from DSD mode to PCM (or EXDF), zero pattern data should be input to both L and R
channels in DSD mode before inputting zero data to both channels in PCM (or EXDF) mode. In this
case, 1024/fs of zero data input period is necessary. Refer to Figure 55 for operation sequence.

Notes:

bit = “1”.
(2) When DSDPATH bit = “0”, MCLK input is necessary for mode detection.
(3) In PCM mode, analog output delay time becomes longer for about 18/fs comparing with when
setting ADPE bit = “0”.
(4) The AK4499 transitions to DSD mode if the number of DCLK input clock pulse in 1/fs satisfies the
condition. The condition of DSD mode detection is set by DSDSEL[1:0] bits (Table 41).
(5) In DSD mode, analog output delay time becomes longer comparing with when setting ADPE bit =
“0”. In this case, delay time depends on DDMT bit setting.
(6) The AK4499 transitions to PCM (or EXDF) mode if the number of DCLK input clock pulse does not
satisfies the condition.

9.11.2. Automatic Mode Switching when DSDPATH bit = “1”
When the DSDPATH bit = “1”, the AK4499 detects PCM (or EXDF) mode or DSD mode from a clock
and data inputs of the BICK/BCK/DCLK pin (#43), LRCK/DSDR1 pin (#45) and WCK pin (#48).
9.11.2.1. Mode Detection Start Condition
If one of the five conditions shown below is satisfied, the AK4499 executes mode detection. The
AK4499 keeps previous mode instead of executing mode detection if any condition is not satisfied.
These start conditions of mode detection are common regardless of EXDF bit setting.
1. Input data of all channels are zero for a period set by ADPT[1:0] bits (Table 42).
2. Output data of all channels are zero for a period set by ADPT[1:0] bits (Table 42) because of the
attenuation setting or SMUTE bit setting.
3. Input data of all channels are full-scale for a period set by DDMT bit in DSD mode (Table 37).
4. PW1 bit = PW2 bit = “0”
5. RSTN bit = “0”

9.11.2.2.1. PCM/DSD Mode Automatic Switching (EXDF bit = “0”)
The AK4499 detects mode from the input signal to the LRCK/DSDR1 pin (#45). Input one of “01101001
01101001”, “01010101 01010101”, or “00110011 00110011” zero code pattern continuously to the
LRCK/DSDR1 pin when changing to DSD mode from PCM mode (Table 43).
Input a clock that toggles in N times 16BICK cycle or a clock that is continuously “L” or “H” for 32BICK
cycles or more to the LRCK/DSDL1 pin (#3) (Table 43). Refer to Figure 56 and Figure 57 for operation
sequence.
The AK4499 keeps previous mode instead of executing mode switching if any condition is not satisfied.

PCM Mode
The AK4499 executes data mode detection even if there is no MCLK input while PW bit = “0” or RSTN
bit = “0”. However, the analog output becomes Hi-Z and the AK4499 enters standby state when MCLK
is stopped. The AK4499 resumes operation according to a data mode that is detected when MCLK is
input again. The data mode will be maintained if the input clock to the BICK/BCK/DCLK pin (#43) is
stopped.
The AK4499 executes internal reset for 3–4/fs automatically when switching the data mode and
resumes operation.

after setting PDN pin “L” → “H”. If RSTN bit is in default value “0”, mode detection operation will
start.
(2) Mode detection is performed by monitoring input signal code pattern of the LRCK/DSDR1 pin. It is
executed for 34 cycles of the BICK/DCLK pin input clock and then ADP bit is changed on a rising
edge of input signal of the LRCK/DSDR1 pin. Mode detection is executed even when there is no
MCLK input. The AK4499 starts data mode detection when input data of both channels are zero for
a period set by ADPT[1:0] bits.
(3) The AK4499 finishes data mode detection when a data that is not zero is input.
(4) In PCM mode, analog output delay time becomes 18/fs longer comparing with when setting ADPE

(5) When data mode is changed, the AK4499 executes internal reset for 3–4/fs automatically.
(6) In DSD mode, analog output delay time becomes longer comparing with when setting ADPE bit =

(7) A clock input to the BICK/DCLK pin is necessary for data mode detection. The data mode will be
maintained if the input clock to the BICK/DCLK pin is stopped.

start.
(2) Upon power up the AK4499, the AK4499 operates in PCM mode if DCLK is input and DSDL1 is not
input.
(3) Mode detection is performed by monitoring input signal code pattern of the LRCK/DSDR1 pin. It is
executed for 34 cycles of the BICK/DCLK pin input clock and then ADP bit is changed on a rising
edge of input signal of the LRCK/DSDR1 pin. ADP bit outputs “0” in PCM mode and “1” in DSD
mode. Mode detection is executed even when there is no MCLK input.
(4) The AK4499 finishes data mode detection when a data that is not zero is input. Then the AK4499
restarts the mode detection when input data of all channels are continuously zero for the period set
by ADPT[1:0] bits.
(5) In DSD mode, analog output delay time becomes longer comparing with when setting ADPE bit =
“0”. In this case, delay time depends on DDMT bit setting.
(6) If DSD data input is stopped in DSD mode, the AK4499 stays in DSD mode and continues
operation. In this case, full-scale data is input to the AK4499. Excessive signal output can be
avoided by setting DDM bit = “1” enabling automatic mute function works when detecting DSD fullscale input.
(7) When data mode is changed, the AK4499 executes internal reset for 3–4/fs automatically.
(8) In PCM mode, analog output delay time becomes 18/fs longer comparing with when setting ADPE

(9) A clock input to the BICK/DSLK pin is necessary for data mode detection. The data mode will be

9.11.2.2.2. EXDF/DSD Automatic Mode Switching (EXDF bit = “1”)
The AK4499 detects mode from the input clocks to the WCK pin (#48) and the BCK/DCLK pin (#43).
DSD mode is detected if the number of rising edge of the BCK/DCLK input clock exceeds 256 times in
one cycle WCK input clock counting from a rising edge. EXDF mode is detected if the number of rising
edge of the BCK/DCLK input clock does not reach 256 times in one cycle WCK input clock twice
continuously (Table 44). Refer to Figure 58 and Figure 59 for the operation sequence.
The AK4499 keeps previous mode instead of executing mode switching if any condition is not satisfied.

Soft Mute Function
The AK4499 has soft mute function. 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.
When setting back the SMUTE pin to “L” or SMUTE bit to “0”, the mute is cancelled and the output
attenuation gradually changes to the ATT level during ATT_DATA ATT transition time (Refer to Table
30 for ATT). If the soft mute is cancelled before attenuating after starting the operation, the
attenuation is discontinued and returned to ATT level by the same cycle. The soft mute is effective for
changing the signal source without stopping the signal transmission.
Soft mute function is not available when bypassing the volume (DSDD bit = “1”) in DSD mode.

to “L” if the input data is not zero.

discontinued and returned to ATT level by the same cycle.

9.12. LDO
When TVDD = 3.0 to 3.6V, the power for digital core circuit (DVDD) is supplied by the internal LDO by
setting the LDOE pin to “H”. Table 45 shows the DVDD pin statuses with the PDN and LDOE pins
setting. The internal LDO is powered up by setting the PDN pin from “L” to “H” (power-down release)
and it starts supplying 1.8V DVDD. Connect a 1µF capacitor to the DVDD pin when using the LDO. It
takes 2ms (max.) to power-up the internal LDO.

The AK4499 has error detect function, as shown in Table 46 for LDO operation (LDOE pin = “H”). The
internal LDO will be powered down and stop supplying the power to the digital core when an error is
detected. In this case, the analog signal output and the PDA pin becomes Hi-z state (In I2C mode, ACK
is not output). The AK4499 must be reset by setting the PDN pin = “L” → “H” to recover from the error
detection status.

9.13. Power Up/Down Sequence
The AK4499 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 600 ns for a certain reset after all power supplies are on. There is a possibility of malfunctions with
the “L” pulse less than 600 ns. Power down is released by setting the PDN pin to “H” from “L”. In this
time Bias generating circuit and LDO (if LDOE pin = “H”) are powered up and the analog output
becomes floating (Hi-z) state until all clocks are input.
9.13.1. Pin Control Mode (PSN pin = “H”)
All circuits will be powered up by inputting MCLK, LRCK and BICK clocks after the PDN pin = “H”.

“L” for more than 600 ns after AVDD, TVDD and VDDL1/L2/R1/R2 are powered up.
(3) The DVDD pin output voltage (generated by Internal LDO) is powered up by setting the PDN pin =
“H” if the LDOE pin = “H”. The internal PDN signal will rise in 2 ms (max.) after the PDN pin = “H”
and the internal circuit will start operation.

Figure 63 shows system timing example of power down/up when using the internal LDO (LDOE pin =

“H”. The analog circuit starts operation by supplying necessary clocks (MCLK, LRCK and BICK for PCM
mode, MCLK, DCLK and EXDF for DSD mode, MCLK, BCK and WCK for EXDF mode), and the clock
divider will start operation after about 3/fs. In this time, the analog output pins output zero signals. Then
the AK4499 transitions to normal operation by setting RSTN bit = “1”.

Notes:
(1) TVDD must be powered up before DVDD is powered up or at the same time. Power up sequence
between other power supplies are not critical. VREFH L1/L2/R1/R2 reference voltages should be
input after AVDD is powered up or at the same time.
(2) The PDN pin must be “L” when start supplying AVDD, TVDD, DVDD and VDDL1/L2/R1/R2. It must
be held “L” for more than 600 ns after AVDD, TVDD, DVDD and VDDL1/L2/R1/R2 are powered up.
(3) When the LDOE pin = “L”, the internal PDN signal is on in 1 μs (max.) after the PDN pin is set to
“H”, and the internal circuit will start operation.
(4) Click noise occurs on an edge of PDN signal. This noise is output even if “0” data is input.
(5) Mute the analog output externally if click noise (4) adversely affect system performance.
(6) It takes 3 to 4/fs until a reset instruction is valid when writing “0” to RSTN bit and it takes 3 to 4/fs
when releasing the reset.
(7) TVDD must be powered down after or at the same time of DVDD. Power down sequence between
other power supplies are not critical. VREFH L1/L2/R1/R2 reference voltages should be stopped
before AVDD is powered down or at the same time.
(8) The DZFL/R pins output “L” in power down state.
(9) Analog outputs are floating (Hi-Z) in power down state.
(10) Do not input clocks (MCLK, BICK and LRCK) until after TVDD is turned on.

9.13.3. Power Up Sequence of External Operational Amplifier for I-V Conversion
The output current of the AK4499 is converted voltage by external I-V conversion circuit. An operational
amplifier used in this I-V conversion circuit must be powered up or stopped when the AK4499 is
powered up. By doing this, a feedback path of the operational amplifier is maintained and DC offset
(click noise) occurring at power-up of the operational amplifier can be suppressed.

Power up an external operational amplifier after power up the AK4499.
When power down the system, the external amplifier must be powered down before the AK4499.
Power down the AK4499 after the external amplifier. Refer to “9.13.1.Power Up/Down Sequence”
for power-down sequence of the AK4499.
Figure 65. Power Up Sequence of External Operational Amplifier for I-V Conversion
There is a possibility of IC destruction due to breakdown of the withstanding voltage of the analog
output pins (IOUTLP/LN/RP/RN) if the power supply of the external operational amplifier is turned on
before power up the AK4499. Therefore, connect a Zener diode (VRWM = 6 to 7 V) between each
VDDL1/R1/L2/R2 and VSSL1/R1/L2/R2 if the power up/down sequence shown in Figure 65 cannot be
followed.
If the power supply of the external amplifier is turned on before power up the AK4499, there is a
possibility that click noise occurs due to DC difference. Connect an external mute circuit to the analog
signal line to prevent this click noise. Refer to “10.4.4. External Mute Circuit” for the external mute
circuit.

9.14.1. Standby Sequence by MCLK
The AK4499 detects a clock stop and all circuits except MCLK stop detection circuit, control register,
IREF circuit and LDO (only when the LDOE pin = “H”) stop operation if MCLK is not input for 1 μs (min.)
during operation (PDN pin = “H”). In this case, the analog output goes floating state (Hi-Z). The AK4499
returns to normal operation if PW bit and RSTN bit are “1” and there are BCLK and LRCK inputs after
starting to supply MCLK again. The zero detection function is disabled when MCLK is stopped. Figure
66 shows standby sequence example by MCLK.

9.15. Synchronize Function (PCM Mode, EXDF Mode)
The AK4499 has a synchronize function. With this synchronize function, group delays between each
device can be kept within 3/256 fs when using multiple AK4499’s.
In PCM or EXDF mode, clock synchronize function becomes valid when input data of all channels are
“0” for 8192 times continuously, when all channels data become “0” and kept for 8192 times
continuously by attenuation, or when RSTN bit = “0”. In PCM mode, the internal counter is synchronized
with a rising edge of LRCK (falling edge of LRCK when the data format is I2S compatible). In EXDF
mode, the internal counter is synchronized with a rising edge of WCK. In this case, the analog output
becomes zero signal. This function is disabled by setting SYNCE bit = “0” in Register Control mode.
Figure 69 shows a synchronizing sequence when the input data is “0” for 8192 times continuously.

synchronize function is enabled.
(3) Input data of ΔΣ Modulator is fixed to “0” forcibly for 8 to 9/fs when internal counter is reset.
(4) Click noise may occur when the internal counter is reset. This noise is output even if “0” data is
input. Mute the analog output externally if this click noise affects the system performance.
(5) Refer to “9.7. Digital Attenuator” for ATT transition time.
(6) When the internal clock and external input clock are in synchronization, the internal counter will not
be reset even if the synchronize function is valid.

Notes:
(1) Since the analog output corresponding to digital input has group delay (GD), it is recommended to
have a no-input period longer than the group delay before writing “0” to RSTN bit.
(2) The synchronization function becomes valid on a falling edge of RSTN bit. It takes about 2/fs to
become invalid after the internal RSTN is changed when changing RSTN bit to “1”.
(3) It takes 3 to 4/fs until the internal RSTN is changed when changing RSTN bit to “0” and it takes 3 to
4/fs when changing RSTN bit to “1”. The synchronization function becomes valid immediately when
writing “0” to RSTN bit. Therefore, there is a case that the internal counter is reset before internal
RSTN signal of the LSI is changed.
(4) Input data of ΔΣ Modulator is fixed to “0” forcibly for 2 to 3/fs when the internal counter is reset.
(5) Click noise occurs on rising and falling edges of the internal RSTN signal and when the internal
counter is reset. This noise is output even if “0” data is input. Mute the analog output externally if
this click noise affects the system performance.
(6) To ensure the synchronization, reset state should be kept for 500 μs at least after the synchronize
function is enabled.

9.16. Register Control Interface
9.16.1. 3-wire Serial Control Mode (I2C pin = “L”)
Internal registers may be written to through 3-wire µP interface pins: CSN, CCLK and CDTI. The data
on this interface consists of Chip address (2 bits, C1/0), Read/Write (1 bit; fixed to “1”, write only),
Register address (MSB first, 5 bits) and Control data (MSB first, 8 bits). The data is output on a falling
edge of CCLK and the data is received on a rising edge of CCLK. The writing of data is valid when CSN
“”. The clock speed of CCLK is 5 MHz (max).
Setting the PDN pin to “L” resets the registers to their default values. In Register Control mode, the
digital block except control registers and clock divider is reset by setting RSTN bit to “0”. In this case,
the register values are not initialized.

9.16.2. I2C Bus Control Mode (I2C pin = “H”)
The AK4499 supports the fast-mode I2C-bus (max:400 kHz, Ver1.0).
9.16.2.1. WRITE Operation
Figure 72 shows the data transfer sequence for the I2C-bus mode. All commands are preceded by a
START condition. A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH indicates a START
condition (Figure 78). After the START condition, a slave address is sent. This address is 7 bits long
followed by the eighth bit that is a data direction bit (R/W). The most significant five bits of the slave
address are fixed as “00100”. The next bits are CAD1 and CAD0 (device address bits). This bit
identifies the specific device on the bus. The hard-wired input pin (CAD1 pin, CAD0 pin) sets these
device address bits (Figure 73). If the slave address matches that of the AK4499, the AK4499
generates an acknowledge and the operation is executed. The master must generate the acknowledgerelated clock pulse and release the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse (Figure 79). A
R/W bit value of “1” indicates that the read operation is to be executed, and “0” indicates that the write
operation is to be executed.
The second byte consists of the control register address of the AK4499 and the format is MSB first. The
most significant three bits are fixed as “000” (Figure 74). The data after the second byte contains control
data. The format is MSB first, 8bits (Figure 75). The AK4499 generates an acknowledge after each byte
is rece
ived. Data transfer is always terminated by a STOP condition generated by the master. A LOW to HIGH
transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines a STOP condition (Figure 78).
The AK4499 can perform more than one byte write operation per sequence. After receipt of the third
byte the AK4499 generates an acknowledge and awaits the next data. The master can transmit more
than one byte instead of terminating the write cycle after the first data byte is transferred. After receiving
each data packet the internal address counter is incremented by one, and the next data is automatically
taken into the next address. If the address exceeds “15H” prior to generating a stop condition, the
address counter will “roll over” to “00H” and the previous data will be overwritten.
The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock. HIGH or LOW state
of the data line can only be changed when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW (Figure 80) except
for the START and STOP conditions.

[AK4499]
9.16.2.2. READ Operation
Set the R/W bit = “1” for the READ operation of the AK4499. After transmission of data, the master can
read the next address’s data by generating an acknowledge instead of terminating the write cycle after
the receipt of the first data word. After receiving each data packet the internal address counter is
incremented by one, and the next data is automatically taken into the next address. If the address
exceeds “15H” prior to generating stop condition, the address counter will “roll over” to “00H” and the
data of “00H” will be read out.
The AK4499 supports two basic read operations: Current Address Read and Random Address Read.
9.16.2.2.1. Current Address Read
The AK4499 has an internal address counter that maintains the address of the last accessed word
incremented by one. Therefore, if the last access (either a read or write) were to address “n”, the next
CURRENT READ operation would access data from the address “n+1”. After receipt of the slave
address with R/W bit “1”, the AK4499 generates an acknowledge, transmits 1-byte of data to the
address set by the internal address counter and increments the internal address counter by 1. If the
master does not generate an acknowledge but generates a stop condition instead, the AK4499 ceases
the transmission.

9.16.2.2.2. Random Address Read
The random read operation allows the master to access any memory location at random. Prior to
issuing the slave address with the R/W bit “1”, the master must first perform a “dummy” write operation.
The master issues a start request, a slave address (R/W bit = “0”) and then the register address to
read. After the register address is acknowledged, the master immediately reissues the start request and
the slave address with the R/W bit “1”. The AK4499 then generates an acknowledge, 1 byte of data and
increments the internal address counter by 1. If the master does not generate an acknowledge but
generates a stop condition instead, the AK4499 ceases the transmission.

Notes:
(1) In 3-wire serial control mode, the AK4499 does not support read commands.
(2) The AK4499 supports read command in I2C-bus control mode.
(3) If the address exceeds “15H”, the address counter will “roll over” to “00H” and the next write/read
address will be “00H” by automatic increment function in I2C-Bus mode.
(4) Bits indicated as 0 in each address must contain a “0” value. Malfunctions may occur if writing “1”
value to these bits.
(5) Writing after 16H is forbidden. Malfunctions may also occur by this action.
(6) When the PDN pin goes to “L”, the registers are initialized to their default values.
(7) When RSTN bit is set to “0”, the digital block except control registers and clock divider is reset, and
the registers are not initialized to their default values.
(8) When the PSN pin status is changed, the AK4499 should be reset by the PDN pin.
(9) The AK4499 is register compatible with the AK4490, AK4493, AK4495 and the AK4497.

Figure 81. Typical Connection Diagram
(AVDD = VDDL1/R1/L2/R2 = 5.0 V, TVDD = 3.3 V, LDOE pin = “L”, Register Control Mode)
Notes:
(1) Chip Address = “00”.
(2) Power lines of AVDD, TVDD, VDDL1/R1 and VDDL2/R2 should be distributed separately, from the
point with low impedance of regulators or other parts.
(3) AVSS, DVSS, VSSL1/R1 and VSSL2/R2 must be connected to the same analog ground plane.
(Analog ground should have low impedance as a solid pattern. THD+N characteristics will degrade
if there are impedances between each VSS.)
(4) When using LDO, the digital core circuit power supply (DVDD) is supplied from the built-in LDO.
DVDD should not be used for any external circuit loads.
(5) Connect VCOML1/R1/L2/R2 and positive input pin of I-V conversion op-amp from the midpoint
each four Voff circuits that connects VREFHL1/L2/R1/R2 and VREFLL1/L2/R1/R2 via the external
voltage divider resistors. Four Voff circuits do not connect any other pins except
VCOML1/R1/L2/R2 and positive input pins.
(6) It is recommended to input MCLK via a 51Ω damping resistor. Without the resistor, there is a
possibility that THD+N characteristic degrades because of high-frequency noise of MCLK.
(7) All digital input pins except pull-down/pull-up pins should not be allowed to float.

(8) A 1 µF capacitor must be connected to the EXTCL1P/L1N, EXTCR1P/R1N, EXTCL2P/L2N, and
EXTCR2P/R2N pins independently, even when only using one of DAC1 or DAC2.
(9) There is a possibility of IC destruction due to breakdown of the withstanding voltage of the analog
output pins (IOUTLP/LN/RP/RN). Connect a Zener diode (VRWM = 6 to 7 V) between each
VDDL1/R1/L2/R2 and VSSL1/R1/L2/R2 if the power up/down sequence shown in Figure 65 cannot
be followed.
(10) To avoid click noise, connect an external mute circuit if the power up/down sequence shown in
Figure 65 cannot be followed. Refer to “10.4.4. External Mute Circuit” for details.

10.2. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
To minimize coupling by digital noise, decoupling capacitors should be connected to AVDD, TVDD,
DVDD and VDDL1/R1/L2/R2. AVDD and VDDL1/R1/L2/R2 are supplied from analog supply in system,
and TVDD and DVDD are supplied from digital supply in system. Power lines of VDDL1/R1/L2/R2
should be distributed separately, from the point with low impedance of regulators or other parts.
When not using LDO (LDOE pin = “L”), TVDD must be powered up before DVDD is powered up or at
the same time. AVSS, DVSS, VSSL1/R1 and VSSL2/R2 must be connected to the same analog ground
plane. Decoupling capacitors for high frequency should be placed as near as possible to the AK4499.
10.3. Reference Voltage
The differential voltage between the VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2 pin and the VREFLL1/R1/L2/R2 pin set the
full-scale of the analog output range. The VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2 pin is normally connected to 5.0V
reference voltage, and the VREFLL1/R1/L2/R2 pin is normally connected to the 0V reference voltage.
Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor and 2200 µF electrolytic capacitor between the VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2
pin and the VREFL L1/R1/L2/R2 pin.
The VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2 and VREFL L1/R1/L2/R2 pins should avoid noises from other power supplies.
Connect the VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2 to the analog 5.0V via a 1Ω resistor, and the VREFL pin to the analog
ground via a 1Ω resistor when it is difficult to obtain expected analog characteristics because of noises
from other power supplies (A low pass filter of fc=36Hz will be composed with the 2200 µF capacitor
and the 1Ω resistor. It removes signal frequency noise from other power supply lines). However, the
direct voltage at the VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2 and VREFL L1/R1/L2/R2 pins drops ±23 mV since a current of
±23 mA flows at VREFH/L via 1 Ω resistor.
The ceramic capacitors should be connected as near as possible to the pins. All digital signals,
especially clocks, should be kept away from the VREFHL1/R1/L2/R2 and VREFLL1/R1/L2/R2 pins in
order to avoid unwanted coupling into the AK4499.
10.4. Analog Output
10.4.1. I-V Conversion Circuit Example
The analog outputs are full differential outputs. The full-scale output is 36.4 mApp Typ. The output
current is converted to voltage by the I-V conversion circuit. Common voltage of the output signals is
2.5V but signal common of the I-V converted voltage can be adjusted with positive input of op-amp for
I-V conversion, four Voff circuits, and VCOML1/R1/L2/R2, that is (VREFHL1/L2/R1/R2 +
VREFLL1/L2/R1/R2)/2, since the output impedance is 110 Ω (typ.). For example, input Voff = 1.9V to
obtain 0V signal common voltage at Rfb = 360Ω.
The output range of I-V conversion is 4.6 Vrms centered around signal common voltage, and 9.2 Vrms
after differential summing. IOUTL1P/R1P/L2P/R2P current and IOUTL1N/R1N/L2N/R2N current cannot
be summed. The differential outputs are summed externally after I-V conversion.

(typ.). The signal common voltage (VOUTL1P and VOUTL1N) does not have to be 0V.
(2) Resistors used in the I-V conversion circuit are recommended to be within 0.1% of absolute error in
order to meet specifications.

In DSD mode, signal pass out-of-band noise included in DSD data will be reduced by an internal digital
filter of the AK4499 and an external analog low-pass filter (differential summing circuit). The cutoff
frequency of the external analog low-pass filter can be changed by setting C1, C2, and C3 capacitance
in Figure 85 according to the values shown in Table 51.

10.4.3. Feedback Loop of External Operational Amplifier
Figure 86 shows the internal status of the AK4499 when the analog output is Hi-Z (PDN = L, PW1/2 = L,
or audio clocks stopped) and when the analog output is idle (reset state). Feedback loop of the external
amplifier is always maintained while the power supply of the AK4499 is on.

10.4.4. External Mute Circuit
Click noise may occur due to DC offset if the power up/down sequence shown in Figure 65 cannot be
followed and external operational amplifier is powered up before the AK4499. Connect external mute
circuits shown in Figure 87 to analog signal lines to prevent a click noise. The external mute circuit
should be connected to the signal after I-V conversion (Figure 81). Base current will be input to the
transistor RN2202 when the power (5.0V typ.) is not supplied to the VDDL1/R1/L2/R2 pins. In this case,
emitter current flows to the 2SC3327 via 3.8kΩ resistance as base current and the analog signal line is
short to the signal ground. Note that there is a possibility that THD+N performance degrades about 3dB
by connecting an external mute circuit.
