This Application Note describes how to modify the standard application AN1500A to use a dynamic microphone
instead of the standard electret microphone. Additionally, an application is shown, which uses the dynamic
microphone as tone ringer.

Dynamic handset microphones have been widely replaced by electret microphones, mainly because of higher
output level, low EMC sensitivity and price issues. Therefore, the standard Single Chip Telephone application,
AN1500 is based on using an electret handset microphone.
However, there are situations where usage of a dynamic microphone is still desired, e.g.
•
when updating an existing design , using a dynamic handset microphone
•
when taking advantage of the higher speech quality of dynamic microphones
•
when using the dynamic microphone as tone ringer
6 Hardware configuration
Generally, because of the lower output level of a dynamic micr ophone (≈10dB less than an electret microphone)
the microphone signal must be amplified by a simple 10dB amplifier before it can be fed into the microphone
inputs, M1 and M2 of the SA2531/2.
In the following schematic, two basic considerations when using dynamic microphones are shown:
1. A single ended circuit, which uses the dynamic microphone for both microphone and tone ringer.
2. A differential circuit, which is fully balanced, to replace an electret microphone.
6.1 Using the Dynamic Microphone as Tone Ringer (Schematic :A)
6.1.1 Ringer part
The piezo tone ringer used in AN1500 can be replaced by a dynamic m icrophone, when close attention is paid to
the following considerations :
Since a maximum sound pressure is required in ringing mode, the maximum DC current and AC level
for the type of dynamic microphone used must not be exceeded.
To limit the output of the ringer am plifier Q 4, the zener diode D4 should be reduced to 15V . R18 limits the output
current, it can also be used to set the ringer volume.
Since the microphone (= the ringer) is connected single ended to V
, any noise on VDD would be amplified by the
DD
microphone amplifier, causing higher noise for the transmitted signal. Therefore, D6 and C10 are added to
reference the micr ophone amplifier input to V
(over C10) but at the same tim e keep the DC level above VDD in
SS
ringing mode.
The ringer cannot be referenced to V
With the application s hown, the anode of D6 will be V
, because it would discharge VDD during ringing!
SS
+0.7V, because during ringing VDD is supplied over the
DD
ringing capacitor. (not shown).

6.1.2 Microphone Amplifier
Q5 is a simple “classic” amplifier, which amplifies the single ended signal by ≈10dB. Gain can be adjusted by
varying R21. R23 is the feedback resistor to set a stable DC bias point. R24 and R25 are setting the base voltage.
The transistor type used (in this case BC549) should be a general purpose low noise transistor.
The single ended signal is decoupled by C17. R26 is required to limit the input current to the amplifier during
ringing.
C15 and C16 are EMC capacitors to limit the bandwidth of the amplifier. Frequencies >10kHz are being attenuated.
The amplifier is supplied by (the initial electret microphone supply) R20 and C14. C14 should be increased to
220µF. Since this supply is derived from the line output, there will be som e small r ipple from the transm itted signal
at C14.
In order not to form a positive f eedback
loop from LI over the m icrophone supply, Q5 and the internal m icrophone
amplifier (M1/M2 to LI) , care must be taken to connect M1/M2 inputs in the correct manner as shown in the
application.
With this connection, a negative feedback loop is formed, rejecting any ripple on C14.
Because of the unbalanced, single ended structure of this amplifier, its input is very sensitive. T herefore it
is recommended to use this application only in one-piece telephones with shortest possible wires
between microphone and amplifier !
6.2 Amplifier for General Purpose Applications (Schematic :B)
This amplifier is similar to the amplifier described in pt. 6.1, however the microphone is balanced (RR23B and
RR26 = 2kΩ).
Amplifier gain = RR21 / RR23B = 3:1 = 10dB.
This application can directly replace an electret microphone. Becaus e of the differential, balanced str ucture of the
amplifier input , it is also suitable for longer distances between microphone and amplifier, e.g. corded handsets.
