3.1.1Audio Codec

The audio codec is a XE3005 from Semtech that receives a 4.096 MHz master clock from the micro con- troller. The micro controller configures the codec through the SPI interface. The 8 ksps audio samples are transferred on the I2S interface, where the micro controller is the bus master.

The microphone input has a 1.1 VDC bias for driving the microphone.

The loudspeaker outputs are a differential class D output and need some external filtering components.
