FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 

1. 

Main Power Switch

 

Slide switch. When placed in the ON position will enable the 
internal voltage regulators and support circuitry. If all internal 
supplies power up correctly the POWER GOOD LED will 
turn on. 

2. 

USB connector for main power.

 

USB Micro B connector. Source power for Muskie board. 
Knowles recommends using a USB based battery similar to 
Insignia model # MB5202B for supplying clean power to kit. 

3. 

Microphone VDD Selector 

Slide switch allows microphone voltage selection. Supports 
common microphone voltages, +3.3V, +2.75V, and +1.8V. 
The ADJ selection generates unique VDD voltages. 

4. 

Adjustable VDD

 

Setting the VDD SELECTOR to ADJ enables the VDD-ADJ 

potentiometer to generate a custom VDD voltage. The 
adjustable voltage range is from ~+1.6V to ~+3.65V.  
Refer to microphone specifications for acceptable input 
voltages. 

5. 

MIC Current Jacks 

Banana jack compatible, for measuring current using an 
external current meter. Note: remove jumper labeled 
BYPASS to enable. 

6. 

Digital MIC Selector 

Sets signal path for digital microphones. Select between 
PDM digital and I2S digital.
