PTD Rev 2.1 June 2005

AUXILIARY INPUT

An auxiliary input circuit (Figure 7) is provided which consists of an amplifier which can be configured

either as an inverting buffer for a single input signal or as a mixer/summer for multiple inputs with the

use of external resistors. The circuit is enabled by the register bit AUXEN.

Figure 7 Auxiliary Input Circuit

The AUXMODE register bit controls the auxillary input mode of operation:

In buffer mode (AUXMODE=0) the switch labelled AUXSW in Figure 7 is open and the signal at the

AUX pin will be buffered and inverted through the aux circuit using only the internal components.

In mixer mode (AUXMODE=1) the on-chip input resistor is bypassed, this allows the user to sum in

multiple inputs with the use of external resistors.

When used in this mode there will be gain

variations through this path from part to part due to the variation of the internal 20kΩ resistors

relative to the higher tolerance external resistors.

INPUT BOOST

The input BOOST circuit has 3 selectable inputs: the input microphone PGA output, the AUX

amplifier output and the MICP input pin (when not using a differential microphone configuration).

These three inputs can be mixed together and have individual gain boost/adjust as shown in Figure
