Analog audio interfaces
TOBY-L4 series modules provide the following analog audio interfaces:
Analog audio inputs (analog audio uplink path)
15
:
First differential analog audio input (
MIC1_P
,
MIC1_N
), which can be connected to the output of an
external analog audio device, or an external microphone for voice call or eCall purposes.
The
MIC1_P
/
MIC1_N
pins are internally directly connected to a differential input (positive/negative)
of the Audio Front-End, consisting of a Low Noise Amplifier integrated in a dedicated IC, without any
internal series capacitor for DC blocking. The LNA is internally followed by an integrated sigma-delta
ADC connecting the analog Audio Front-End to the digital audio processing system.
Second differential analog audio input (
MIC2_P
,
MIC2_N
), which can be connected to the output of
an external analog audio device, or an external microphone for voice call or eCall purposes.
The
MIC2_P
/
MIC2_N
pins are internally directly connected to a differential input (positive/negative)
of the Audio Front-End, consisting of a Low Noise Amplifier integrated in a dedicated IC, without any
internal series capacitor for DC blocking. The LNA is internally followed by an integrated sigma-delta
ADC connecting the analog Audio Front-End to the digital audio processing system.
Supply output for external microphones (
MIC_BIAS
), which can provide the bias / supply for external
microphones by means of a simple circuit implemented on the application board.
The
MIC_BIAS
pin is internally connected to the output of a low noise LDO linear regulator integrated
in a dedicated IC, with appropriate internal bypass capacitor provided to guarantee stable operation of
the linear regulator.
Local ground for the external microphone (
MIC_GND
)
The
MIC_GND
pin is internally connected to ground as a sense line, representing a clean ground
reference for the analog audio input.
Analog audio output (analog audio downlink path):
Differential analog audio output (
SPK_P
,
SPK_N
), which can be connected to the input of an external
analog audio device, or an external speaker.
The
SPK_P
/
SPK_N
pins are internally directly connected to a differential output (positive/negative) of
the Audio Front-End, consisting of a low power audio amplifier integrated in a dedicated IC, without
any internal series capacitor for DC blocking. The low power audio amplifier is internally preceded by
an integrated DAC connecting the analog Audio Front-End to the digital audio processing system.

The first differential analog audio input (
MIC1_P
,
MIC1_N
) and the second differential analog audio input (
MIC2_P
,
MIC2_N
) interfaces
can be used alternatively, in mutually exclusive way.
