The sections of the circuitry concerned with these functions are described 
below.
Audio Signal
for Speaker
The audio signal for the speaker is generated by IC204 (VOUTAUXP ball). 
This signal is post-volume-control and has a pre-emphasized frequency 
response. The signal is then processed by R218, R217 and C231 (C205) to 
restore a flat frequency response and reduce the signal level to that required 
by the audio power amplifier.
Summing Circuit The top of C231 (C205) is where side tones are summed in and the CDC RX 
AUD signal is obtained. C201 and R211 pre-emphasize and attenuate the 
side-tone signal to give a flat side-tone frequency response and reduce the 
input to an appropriate level.
Buffer Amplifier IC201 (pins 8 to 10) amplifies the signal at the top of C231 (C205) by 19dB 
and drives the 
CDC RX AUD system interface line via C212 and R225. 
The capacitor C212 provides AC output coupling and R225 ensures 
stability. The DC bias for this amplifier is derived from IC204.
Audio Power 
Amplifier
The signal at the top of C231 (C205) is fed via C204 to the audio power 
amplifier IC202. IC202 has 46dB of gain and a differential output 
configuration. C209, C211, R252 and R253 ensure stability of the amplifier 
at high frequencies. When operational, the output bias voltage for IC202 is 
approximately half the base station supply voltage. When not operational, 
the output becomes high impedance.
Control of Audio
Power Amplifier
Power up, power down, and muting of IC202 is controlled by two signals 
from the digital section, 
DIG AUD PA EN1 and DIG AUD PA EN2. The network 
consisting of Q200, Q201, R200 to R206, R210 and R250 converts the 
two digital signals to the single three-level analog signal required by IC202.
Microphone Signals There are two microphone source signals:
■ ITF AUX MIC AUD from auxiliary or internal options connector
■ ITF CH MIC AUD from microphone connector
The biasing for electret microphones is provided by a filtered 3.0V supply 
via R226 and R227. The components R209 and C202 provide the supply 
filtering. The microphone inputs to IC204 (
VINAUXP, VINAUXN, VINNORP, and 
VINNORN balls) are differential. The negative inputs are decoupled to the 
filtered 3.0V supply by C215 and C216. The positive inputs are biased to 
approximately 1.5 V by R229, R232, R230 and R233. AC coupling and 
DC input protection is provided by C213 and C214.
Auxiliary Audio 
Input
The auxiliary audio input signal ITF AUD TAP IN is DC-coupled to the ADC 
input of IC205. R241 combined with internal clamping diodes in IC205 
provide DC protection for the ADC input. IC205 provides the input biasing 
of approximately 1.5V.
