Gain ==  
The C636 and C637 capacitors are placed in order to cut off the gain at higher frequencies than the 
transmitted GSM band, the cutoff frequency (-3dB) should be 3500Hz in order to have -1dB at 3kHz. 
The cutoff frequency is given by the formula: 
636*606*2

TIP: example of calculation. 
Let's assume you have a microphone with a sensitivity of -45 dBV
rms
/Pa and you want to use it in 1st 
differential microphone path (“Mic_MT” inputs) in "normal spoken" conditions at acoustic pressure of 
-4.7dBPa. 
As reported at page 33 , the electrical level output from the microphone will be : 
corresponding to: 
 When the talker is screaming , we will have a signal of 330 mV
rms 
on the “Mic_MT “ inputs due to a 
20dB higher Mic Level (see TIP 1) with a buffer gain G

=20 log (AmplifierOutput / MicVoltage) =20 log (330 * 10 
-3
 )/( 33 * 10 
-3
 ) = 20 log 10=20dB 
The corresponding values for the resistors on the buffer could be ( if we keep the input resistance 
10kΩ ) 
R604 = R606 = gain* R607= gain* R605 = 10* 15 = 150 kΩ 
The commercial values of 150kΩ & 15kΩ are then chosen. 
As a consequence the values of the capacitors C636 and C637 shall be: 
C636=C637= 1/ (2π*4000*R606)= 265 *10

A commercial value of 270pF gives a cutoff frequency of 3931Hz with an errorless than 1,8% . 
MicLevel = ( -45) + (-4.7) = -49.7 dB
