9.1 INPUT LINES (Microphone)

9.1.1 Short description

The Telit GE864-QUAD / PY provides two audio paths in transmit section. Only one of the two paths can be active at a time, selectable by AXE hardware line or by AT command.

You must keep in mind the different audio characteristics of the transmit blocks when designing:

The MIC_MTaudio path should be used for handset function, while the “MIC_HFaudio path is suited for hands-free function (car kit).

TIP: being the microphone circuitry the more noise sensitive, its design and layout must be done with particular care. Both microphone paths are balanced and the OEM circuitry should be balanced designed to reduce the common mode noise typically generated on the ground plane. However also an unbalanced circuitry can be used for particular OEM application needs.

TIP: due to the difference in the echo canceller type, the “Mic_MT” audio path is suited for Handset applications, while the “Mic_HF”audio path is suited for hands-free function (car kit). The Earphone applications should be made using the “Mic_HF” audio path but DISABLING the echo canceller by software AT command. If the echo canceller is left active with the Earphone, then some echo might be introduced by the echo cancel algorithm.
