DESCRIPTION
De-coupling for DBVDD, DCVDD, AVDD, HPVDD
Reservoir capacitor for DVDD, AVDD. Should the supplies use separate sources then
additional capacitors will be required of each additional source.
AC input coupling capacitors
Output AC coupling capacitors to remove DC level from MONOOUT
Output AC coupling capacitors to remove DC level from headphone output (If used as
a line-out only, use 2.2uF caps)
De-coupling for VMID.
Reservoir capacitor for VMID
De-coupling for VREF
Reservoir capacitor for VREF
De-coupling for MICBIAS – Not required if MICBIAS output is not used
Reservoir capacitor for MICBIAS – Not required if MICBIAS output is not used

Note:
1. For Capacitors C5, C6, C17, C19 and C21 it is recommended that very low ESR components are used.
LINE INPUT CONFIGURATION
When LINPUT1/RINPUT1 or MIC are used as line inputs, the microphone boost and ALC functions
should normally be disabled.
In order to avoid clipping, the user must ensure that the input signal does not exceed AVDD. This
may require a potential divider circuit in some applications. It is also recommended to remove RF
interference picked up on any cables using a simple first-order RC filter, as high-frequency
components in the input signal may otherwise cause aliasing distortion in the audio band. AC signals
with no DC bias should be fed to the WM8971L through a DC blocking capacitor, e.g. 1µF.

Figure 47 Recommended Circuit for Line Input
For interfacing to a microphone, the ALC function should be enabled and the microphone boost
switched on. Microphones held close to a speaker’s mouth would normally use the 13dB gain setting,
while tabletop or room microphones would need a 29dB boost.
The recommended application circuit is shown above. R1 and R2 form part of the biasing network
(refer to Microphone Bias section). R1 connected to MICBIAS is necessary only for electret type
microphones that require a voltage bias. R2 should always be present to prevent the microphone
