8.1  Microphone Paths Characteristic and 
Requirements 
TIP: being the microphone circuitry the more noise sensitive, its design and layout must be 
done with particular care. Both microphone paths are balanced and the OEM circuitry should 
be balanced designed to reduce the common mode noise typically generated on the ground 
plane. However also an unbalanced circuitry can be used for particular OEM application needs. 
TIP: due to the difference in the echo canceller type, the “Mic_MT” audio path is suited for 
Handset applications, while the “Mic_HF”audio path is suited for hands-free function (car kit). 
The Earphone applications should be made using the “Mic_HF” audio path but DISABLING the 
echo canceller by software AT command. If the echo canceller is left active with the Earphone, 
then some echo might be introduced by the echo cancel algorithm.
