Digital Microphone Input
The MAX9880A can accept audio from up to two digi-
tal microphones. When using digital microphones, the
left analog microphone input is retasked as a digital
microphone input. The right analog microphone input is
still available to allow a combination of analog and digi-
tal microphones to be used. Figure 7 shows the digital
microphone interface timing diagram.
