GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The AK4384 offers the perfect mix for cost and performance based audio systems. Using AKM's multi bit 
architecture for its modulator the AK4384 delivers a wide dynamic range while preserving linearity for 
improved THD+N performance.  The AK4384 integrates a combination of SCF and CTF filters increasing 
performance for systems with excessive clock jitter. The 24 Bit word length and 192kHz sampling rate 
make this part ideal for a wide range of applications including DVD-Audio. The AK4384 is offered in a 
space saving 16pin TSSOP package.
