Getting Started

Engineers can evaluate the device using the AKD4452 evaluation board, which provides access to the I2C or 3-wire serial control interfaces. Design requires careful layout of the analog and digital power supplies (AVDD and TVDD) to maintain the device's -107dB noise floor and THD+N performance.
