Production Data

PD Rev 4.1 December 2007

The line inputs are biased internally through the operational amplifier to VMID. Whenever the line

inputs are muted or the device placed into standby mode, the line inputs are kept biased to VMID

using special anti-thump circuitry. This reduces any audible clicks that may otherwise be heard when

re-activating the inputs.

The external components required to complete the line input application is shown in the Figure 10.

LINEIN

Figure 10 Line Input Application Drawing

For interfacing to a typical CD system, it is recommended that the input is scaled to ensure that there

is no clipping of the signal. R1 = 5.6k, R2 = 5.6k, C1 = 220pF, C2 = 1

µF.

R1 and R2 form a resistive divider to attenuate the 2 Vrms output from a CD player to a 1 Vrms level,

so avoiding overloading the inputs. R2 also provides a discharge path for C2, thus preventing the

input to C2 charging to an excessive voltage which may otherwise damage any equipment connected

that is not suitably protected against high voltages. C1 forms an RF low pass filter for increasing the

rejection of RF interference picked up on any cables. C2 forms a DC blocking capacitor to remove

the DC path between the WM8951L and the driving audio equipment. C2 together with the input

impedance of the WM8951L form a high pass filter.

MICROPHONE INPUT

MICIN is a high impedance, low capacitance input suitable for connection to a wide range of

monophonic microphones of different dynamics and sensitivities.

The MICIN includes programmable volume adjustments and a mute function. The scheme is shown

in Figure 11. Passive RF and active Anti-Alias filters are also incorporated within the microphone

inputs. These allow a matched interface to the multi-bit oversampling ADC and preventing high

frequencies aliasing into the audio band or otherwise degrading performance.
