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 8 kHz in order to have -1dB at
4kHz.
The cutoff frequency is given by the formula:
636*606*2

637*604*2

For example:
- Let's assume you have a microphone with these characteristics:
- sensitivity -45 dB
Vrms/Pa
and you want to use it in the internal mic. audio path.
With the mic. having nominal sensitivity -45dB
Vrms/Pa
at the "normal spoken" conditions: -
4.7dB
Pa
at 7 cm from the mouth of the talker.
At that acoustic pressure the voltage output from the microphone is:
Mic Voltage Output (dB) = ( -45) + (-4.7) = -49.7 dB
Vrms
corresponding to:
Mic_Voltage_Output = 10
( -49.7 / 20 )
= 3.3* 10

in order to have a signal of 50 mV
rms
on the GE863-QUAD internal mic. inputs then the buffer
must have a gain of:
Voltage @ GE863-QUAD_intmic/ Mic_Voltage_Output = (50 * 10
-3
)/( 3.3 * 10
-3
) = 15
Hence in these conditions the signal level on the input pads of the internal mic. of the GE863-
QUAD is 24 dB (15 times) higher than the microphone output and therefore the buffer has to
gain 24 dB.
The corresponding values for the resistors on the buffer could be ( if we keep the input resistance
10kΩ )
R604 = R606 = gain* R603= gain* R605 = 15* 10 = 150 kΩ
The commercial values of 150kΩ & 10kΩ are then chosen.
As a consequence the values of the capacitors C636 and C637 shall be:
C636=C637= 1/ (2π*8000*R606)= 132 *10
-12
F
A commercial value of 100pF is then chosen.
