Analog Audio Interface
The WISMO218 supports one microphone input and one speaker output. It also includes an echo
cancellation feature which allows hands free function.
In some cases, ESD protection must be added on the audio interface lines.
Microphone Features
The microphone, MIC, can either have a single-ended or a differential connection. However, it is
strongly recommended to use a differential connection in order to reject common mode noise and
TDMA noise.
When using a single-ended connection, be sure to have a very good ground plane, very good filtering
as well as shielding in order to avoid any disturbance on the audio path.
The gain of MIC inputs is internally adjusted and can be tuned using AT commands.
The MIC already includes suitable biasing for an electret microphone. The electret microphone can
then be connected directly on the inputs for easy connection.
AC coupling is also already embedded in the WISMO218.
