NOTES:
1. Simulations were performed using Analog Device’s Codec (AD1885) and the Cirrus Logic’s Codec (CS4205b).
Results showed that if the AD1885 codec was used a 33-
Ω resistor was best for R1 and if the CS4205b codec
was used a 47-
Ω resistor for R1 was best.
2. Bench data shows that a 47-
Ω resistor for R1 is best for the Sigmatel* 9750 codec.
