... The DCLK output pin supplies the corresponding data clock which depends on the data-rate settings programmed to AX5042. In synchronous wire mode a connected micro-controller must receive or supply data on the DATA pin synchronous to the clock available the DCLK pin. In asynchronous wire mode, the receive/transmit clock is still available on the DCLK pin, but its usage is optional ...
