9.2.13 Microphone Input
CSR8615 QFN contains an independent low-noise microphone bias generator. The microphone bias generator is
recommended for biasing electret condensor microphones. Figure 9.4 shows a biasing circuit for microphones with
a sensitivity between about ‑40 to ‑60dB (0dB = 1V/Pa).
Where:
â– The microphone bias generator derives its power from VBAT or 3V3_USB and requires no capacitor on its
output.
■The microphone bias generator maintains regulation within the limits 70μA to 2.8mA, supporting a 2mA
3 source typically required by 2 electret condensor microphones. If the microphone sits below these limits,
01 then the microphone output must be pre-loaded with a large value resistor to ground.
, 2 ■Biasing resistors R1 is 2.2kΩ.
16 ■The input impedance at LINE/MIC_AN and LINE/MIC_AP is typically 6kΩ.
er â– C1 and C2 are 100/150nF if bass roll-off is required to limit wind noise on the microphone.
mb ■R1 sets the microphone load impedance and are normally around 2.2kΩ.

9.2.14 Line Input
Figure 9.5 and Figure 9.6 show 2 circuits for line input operation and show connections for either differential or single-
ended inputs.
In line input mode, the input impedance of the pins to ground varies from 6kΩ to 34kΩ depending on input gain
setting.
