Supplemental Information When Using a Voice Signal on the MODE1 Pin
When using the voice signal on MODE1, as in the circuit below, care must be taken regarding the
voice input level. Application of the voice signal below VIH1level to the MODE1 pin causes the
MSA180 to switch into standby mode, interrupting the voice reproduction flow, and causing
undesired noises.

When using a voice signal lower than VIH, refer to the circuit below. With a low-pass filter consisting
of R2 and C2, voice levels lower than VIH1 are passed through. However, select values for R2 and C2
such that the input voltage on MODE1 is greater than VIH2.

The cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter is calculated as follows:
fC =

2p ¥ R2 ¥ C2
[Hz]
For instance, if the cutoff frequency is 50 Hz, C2 is 0.1 mF and R2 is 30 kW. For a lower cutoff frequen-
cy, use a larger value for C2 or R2.
