[ak4104] ms0642-e-01 2010/09 - 10 - operation overview reset and initialization the ak4104 should be reset once by bringing pdn = ?l? upon power-up. it takes 8 bit clock cycles for the ak4104 to initialize after pdn pin goes ?h?. mclk and lrck relationship for correct synchronization, mclk and lrck should be derived from the same clock signal either directly (as through a frequency divider) or indirectly (for example, as through a dsp). the phase relationship between mclk and lrck should be kept after power-up. the mclk frequencies shown in table 1 are supported. the internal clock frequency is set depending on the external mclk frequency automatically. mclk fs 128fs 16k-192khz 192fs 16k-192khz 256fs 8k-128khz 384fs 8k-96khz 512fs 8k-48khz 768fs 8k-48khz 1024fs 8k-32khz 1536fs 8k-24khz table 1. mclk frequency

[ak4104] ms0642-e-01 2010/09 - 13 - data transmission format the data transmitted on the tx outputs is formatted in blocks as shown in figure 14 . each block consists of 192 frames. a frame of data contains two sub-frames. a sub-frame consists of 32 bits of info rmation. each received data bit is coded using a bi-phase mark encoding as a two binary state symbol. the preambles violate bi-phase encoding so they may be differentiated from data. in bi-phase encoding, the first state of input symbol is always the inverse of the last state of the previous data symbol. for a logic 0, the second state of the symbol is the same as the first state. for a logic 1, the second state is opposite of the first. figure 15 illustrates a sample stream of 8 data bits encoded in 16 symbol states. frame 191 frame 0 frame 1 sub-frame sub-frame m channel 1 w channel 2 b channel 1 w channel 2 m channel 1 w channel 2 figure 14. block format 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 figure 15. a biphase-encoded bit stream the sub-frame is defined in figure 16 below. bits 0-3 of the sub-frame represent a preamble for synchronization. there are three preambles. the block preamble, b, is contained in the first sub-frame of frame 0. the channel 1 preamble, m, is contained in the first sub-frame of all other frames. the channel 2 preamble, w, is contained in all of the second sub-frames. table 4 below defines the symbol encoding for each of the preambles. bits 4-27 of the sub-frame contain the 24 bit audio sample in 2?s complement format with bit 27 as the most signifi cant bit. for 16 bit mode, bits 4-11 are all 0. bit 28 is the validity flag. it is ?h? if the audio sample is unreliable. bit 29 is a user data bit. frame 0 contains the first bit of a 192 bit user data word. frame 191 contains the last bit of the user data word. bit 30 is a channel status bit. again frame 0 contains the first bit of the 192 bit word with the last bit in frame 191. bit 31 is an even parity bit for bits 4-31 of the sub-frame. sync p c u v l m s audio sample s b b 0 3 4 27 28 29 30 31 figure 16. sub-frame format the block of data contains consecutive fr ames transmitted at a state-bit rate of 64 times the sample frequency, fs. for stereophonic audio, the left or a channel data is in channel 1 while the right or b data is in channel 2. for monophonic audio, channel 1 contains the audio data. preamble preceding state = 0 preceding state = 1 b 11101000 00010111 m 11100010 00011101 w 11100100 00011011 table 4. sub-frame preamble encoding channel status bit in the consumer mode (bit0 = ?0?), bits20-23(audio channel) must be controlled by the ct20 bit. when the ct20 bit is ?1?, the ak4104 corresponds to ?stereo mode?, bits20-23 are se t to ?1000?(left channel) in sub-frame 1, and is set to ?0100?(right channel) in sub-frame 2. when the ct20 bit is ?0?, bits20-23 is set to ?0000? in both sub-frame 1 and sub-frame 2.
