MONO MIXING
The stereo ADC can operate as a stereo or mono device, or the two channels can be mixed to mono,
either in the analogue domain (i.e. before the ADC) or in the digital domain (after the ADC).
MONOMIX selects the mode of operation. For analogue mono mix either the left or right channel
ADC can be used, allowing the unused ADC to be powered off or used for a dc measurement
conversion. The user also has the flexibility to select the data output from the audio interface using
DATSEL. The default is for left and right channel ADC data to be output, but the interface may also
be configured so that e.g. left channel ADC data is output as both left and right data for when an
analogue mono mix is selected.
Note:
If DC measurement is selected this overrides the MONOMIX selection.
Table 6 Mono Mixing
Table 7 ADC Data Output Configuration
The MICBIAS output provides a low noise reference voltage suitable for biasing electret type
microphones and the associated external resistor biasing network. Refer to the Applications
Information section for recommended external components. The output can be enabled or disables
using the MICB control bit (see also the “Power Management” section).
Table 8 Microphone Bias Control
The internal MICBIAS circuitry is shown below. Note that the maximum source current capability for
MICBIAS is 3mA. The external biasing resistors therefore must be large enough to limit the MICBIAS
current to 3mA.
