AKD4620B-B
AK4620B Evaluation board Rev.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AKD4620B-B is an evaluation board for the AK4620B, the 24Bit A/D & D/A converter. The
AKD4620B-B can evaluate A/D converter and D/A converter separately in addition to loopback mode
(A/D→D/A). The AKD4620B-B also has the digital audio interface and can achieve the interface with
digital audio systems via opt-connector.

Operation sequence
1) Set up the power supply line
[+15V]
(green)
= +15V
[-15V]
(blue)
= -15V
[GND]
(black)
= 0V
Note:
Each supply line should be distributed from the power supply unit.
2) Set up the evaluation modes, jumper pins and DIP switch. (See the followings.)
3) Power on
The AK4620B should be reset once bringing SW2 (PDN) “L” upon power-up.

2) Evaluation of D/A using DIR. (Optical link)
The DIR generates MCLK, BICK, LRCK and SDATA from the received data through optical
connector (PORT1). PORT1 is also used for the evaluation using such as CD test disk.
BNC connector is recommended for an evaluation of the Sound quality.
