Input Signal Range of this Board:PCM
mode can input I2S (16-32bit I2S format is also called format for
Philips), LJ (left-aligned format 16-32bit), RJ24 (right-aligned format
24bit, format for Sony), RJ32 (right-aligned format 32bit, format for
Sony). Due to the design of the chip manufacturer, signal inputs with
right-aligned formats (for Sony) lower than 24 bit are not supported.
DSD mode can input DSD64 DSD128 DSD256. and DOP data (DOP data is to be
entered in PCM mode).
Output Signal Range of this Board:-
PCM mode can output I2S, LJ (left-aligned format) and RJ (right-aligned
format) formats. All three formats can output 16bit, 20bit, 24bit, and
32bit data at 44.1K/48K/88.2K/96K/176.4K/192K/352.8K 384K sample rates,
as well as slave mode. DSD mode can output DSD64/DSD128/DSD256.
-
Note: The input PCM signal below 44.1K will not convert to DSD, nor will
it be converted to a higher sample rate of the PCM. When the input PCM
signal is lower than 176.4K, it can output DSD64 DSD128, but cannot
output DSD256.
Board Interface Description:- The POW
interface is a power input interface, which do not reverse connection
for DC power supply, and the limit voltage is DC 4.6-5.5V (this is only
the limit voltage range of the AK4137 board; The voltage range of the
display is subject to the display screen used). The I2S/DSD-OUT
interface is the I2S/DSD data output interface; I2S/DSD-IN is the
I2S/DSD data input interface; D/P is the interface for manual control of
PCM/DSD input mode (PCM/DSD input mode can also be controlled through 1
pin of the data input port); The K port is a special function
interface; LCDPORT is the display interface (display connection method:
pin 1 of the PCB board is connected to pin 1 of the display, the pin 2
of the board is connected to the pin 2 of the display and so on, the
middle four pins without pins are not connected).
- Note: When using I2S/DSD-IN interface pin 1 to control the input mode, disconnect the D/P interface.
-
There are 4 buttons on the board to set the board (see below for the
setting method), in addition to the mute function, other functions set
by the button support power-off memory, that is, the board still works
according to the last set mode when the next time it is turned on.
-
I2S/DSD-IN interface pin definition: pin 1 is DSD enable input (also
called DSDON or DSDOE), pin 2 is GND, pin 3 is DATA/DSDL input, pin 4 is
BCK/DCLK input, pin 5 is empty pin no connection, and pin 6 is
LRCK/DSDR input. This board input interface does not require an input
MCLK to work.
- I2S/DSD-OUT interface pin definition: pin 1 is DSD
enable output (also called DSDON or DSDOE), pin 2 is GND, pin 3 is
DATA/DSDL output, pin 4 is BCK/DCLK output, pin 5 is MCLK output, and
pin 6 is LRCK/DSDR output. Pin 1 outputs low level when outputing PCM
mode, and pin 1 outputs high level when outputting DSD mode.
Detailed Use Method:Connect
the display screen, etc., turn on the power, connect the POW interface
to the 5.0V DC power supply, and the limit voltage is DC 4.6-5.5V (this
is the limit voltage range of the AK4137 board; the voltage of the
display screen is subject to the display screen used). Reverse
connection is not allowed.
Input Setting:
- Set signal input
mode: first determine the input signal mode, DSD or PCM (I2S), which can
be set via D/P interface. The short-circuited D/P interface input
signal mode operates in PCM (I2S) mode, and the disconnected D/P
interface input mode works in DSD mode. The input mode can also be
controlled through I2S/DSD-IN interface pin 1. When I2S/DSD-IN interface
pin 1 is inputting low voltage, it is in PCM input mode, and when the
input level is high, it is in DSD input mode. It should be noted that
when using I2S/DSD-IN interface pin 1 to control the input mode, the D/P
interface must be disconnected (it cannot be short-circuited or it can
only work in PCM mode; Short-circuiting may also cause damage to the
equipment providing the DSDON/DSDOE signal). When you need to input a
DOP signal, you must also configure the input interface to PCM mode.
Set Signal Input Format:
-
In PCM input mode, the user can switch the format of the input data by
pressing and holding button 1. Each long press of button 1 corresponds
to change the format of an input signal, and the input format is
displayed correspondingly behind the first line of the letter "I" of the
display, with power-off memory function. Input formats include I2S, LJ,
RJ24, RJ32, DOP, and loop switching. In DSD input mode, you can switch
the input DSD sample rate by long-pressing button 2 and the
corresponding display will be displayed after the first line of the
letter "I" with power-off memory. DSD inputs include DSD64, DSD128,
DSD256, and cyclic switching. It is also possible to switch the input
DSD sample rate via K ports K1 and K2 (see table below). It should be
noted that when switching the input DSD signal by pressing and holding
button 2, the user needs to short-circuit K1 and K2 (let K1 and K2 all
be short-circuited, otherwise K1 and K2 will be used to configure the
sampling rate of the DSD input). K1 and K2 can automatically switch the
DSD sampling rate of the input when used with interface for Amanero (K1
is connected to pin 17 of the interface for Amanero, and K2 is connected
to pin 18 of the interface for Amanero).
Attention: 0 is input low voltage (0V), 1 is input high voltage (3.3V).
