Figure 18: Recommended microphone biasing (left channel shown) 
The input impedance at AUDIO_IN_N_LEFT, AUDIO_IN_P_LEFT, AUDIO_IN_N_RIGHT and 
AUDIO_IN_P_RIGHT is typically 6.0kΩ. C1 and C2 should be 150nF if bass roll-off is 
required to limit wind noise on the microphone. R1 sets the microphone load impedance 
and is normally in a range of 1 to 2 kΩ. R2, C3 and C4 improve the supply rejection by 
decoupling supply noise from the microphone. Values should be selected as required. R1 
may be connected to a convenient supply, in which case the bias network is permanently 
enabled, or to the output of the biasing regulator which may be configured to provide bias 
only when the microphone is required. 
The microphone bias provides a 4-bit programmable output voltage with a 4-bit 
programmable output current, shown in Table 16 and 17.
