The Auxiliary amplifier path to the BOOST stage is controlled by the AUX2BOOSTVOL[2:0] register
bits. When AUX2BOOSTVOL=000 this path is completely disconnected from the BOOST stage.
Settings 001 through to 111 control the gain in 3dB steps from -12dB to +6dB.
The MICP path to the BOOST stage is controlled by the MICP2BOOSTVOL[2:0] register bits. When
MICP2BOOSTVOL=000 this input pin is completely disconnected from the BOOST stage. Settings
001 through to 111 control the gain in 3dB steps from -12dB to +6dB.

MICROPHONE BIASING CIRCUIT
The MICBIAS output provides a low noise reference voltage suitable for biasing electret type
microphones and the associated external resistor biasing network. Refer to the Applications
Information section for recommended external components. The MICBIAS voltage can be altered via
the MBVSEL register bit. When MBVSEL=0, MICBIAS=0.9*AVDD and when MBVSEL=1,
MICBIAS=0.65*AVDD. The output can be enabled or disabled using the MICBEN control bit.
