microphone input.

has to be chosen so that the DC voltage across the microphone falls into the bias voltage
range of 1.0V to 1.6V and the microphone feeding current meets its specification.
The MICNx input is automatically self biased to the MICPx DC level. It is AC coupled via C
K
to a resistive divider which is used to optimize supply noise cancellation by the differential
microphone amplifier in the module.
The VMIC voltage should be filtered if gains larger than 20dB are used. The filter can be
attached as a simple first order RC-network (R
VMIC
and C
F
).
This circuit is well suited if the distance between microphone and module is kept short. Due
to good grounding the microphone can be easily ESD protected as its housing usually
connects to the negative terminal.
