Table 10. Clock Operation at Slave Mode (EXT Mode)
The S/N of the DAC at low sampling frequencies is worse than at high sampling frequencies due to out-of-band noise.
When the out-of-band noise can be improved by using higher frequency of the master clock. The S/N of the DAC output
through Headphone amp at fs=8kHz is shown in Table 11.

S/N (fs=8kHz, A-weighted)
256fs 84dB
512fs 88dB

Master Mode/Slave Mode
The M/S pin selects either master or slave modes. M/S pin = “H” selects master mode and “L” selects slave mode. The
AK4537 outputs MCKO, BICK and LRCK in master mode. The AK4537 outputs only MCKO in slave mode, while
BICK and LRCK must be input separately.
