CD-ROM CONNECTIONS
The CD-ROM audio output level should be investigated; typical drives generate 2 V rms output and require a voltage divider for
compatibility with the Codec input (1 V rms range). The recommended circuit is basically a group of divide-by-two voltage dividers
as shown on Figure 10.
The CD_GND_REF pin is used to cancel differential ground noise from the CD-ROM. For optimum noise cancellation, this section
of the divider should have approximately half the impedance of the right and left channel section dividers.

LINE_IN, AUX AND VIDEO INPUT CONNECTIONS
Most of these audio sources also generate 2 V rms audio level and require a –6 dB input voltage divider to be compatible with the
Codec inputs. Figure 11 shows the recommended application circuit. For applications requiring EMC compliance, the EMC compo-
nents should be configured and selected to provide adequate RF immunity and emissions control.

MICROPHONE CONNECTIONS
The AD1881A contains an internal microphone preamp with 20 dB gain, in most cases a direct microphone connection as shown in
Figure 12 is adequate. If the microphone level is too low, an external preamp can be added as shown in Figure 13. In either case the
microphone bias can be derived from the Codec’s internal reference (V
REFOUT
) using a 2.2 k
resistor. For the preamp circuit, the
V
REFOUT
signal can also provide the mid-point bias for the amplifier.
To meet the PC99 1.0A requirements, the MIC signal should be placed on the microphone jack tip and the bias on the ring. This
configuration supports electret microphones with three conductor plugs, as well as dynamic microphones with two conductor plugs
(ring and sleeve shorted together).
Additional filtering may be required to limit the microphone response to the audio band of interest.
