PRODUCTION DATA
An internal shunt regulator in the CD326x isolates the internal circuitry power supply from the MIC pin. The shunt regulator can provide power to an external microphone module through the MICPWR pin, or the MICPWR output can be used as an enable signal to control power to an external microphone module as shown in Figure 8-1. The CD326x regulates the MICPWR output to approximately 1.56V. The shunt regulator only regulates the VSHUNT and MICPWR pins during tone mode. During button mode operation, the CD326x powers down the regulator. An external resistance between the MIC and VSHUNT pins determines the current into the VSHUNT pin. The shunt regulator requires current of at least 93µA to maintain regulation of the VSHUNT pin. Any excess current becomes available to the load at MICPWR. Any further excess current is internally shunted to ground.
