General Description
The MAX4063 is a differential-input microphone preamplifier optimized for high-performance, portable applications. The device features two selectable inputs,
differential outputs, adjustable gain, an integrated lownoise bias source, and a low-power shutdown mode.
Two input paths provide both differential and singleended microphone sensing. The high-noise rejection of
the differential input is ideally suited to an internal microphone where system noise and long-run PC board traces
can degrade low-level signals. The single-ended input
provides a simple connection to an external microphone.
The differential and single-ended inputs have independent, adjustable gains that are set with a single external
resistor. Differential outputs provide a full-scale signal of
up to 6V
P-P
from a single 3V supply, optimizing the
dynamic range of the amplified signal. A complete shutdown mode reduces the supply current to only 0.3µA
and disables the microphone bias for the ultimate in
power savings.
The MAX4063 operates from 2.4V to 5.5V and is specified
over the extended -40°C to +85°C operating temperature
range. The MAX4063 is available in both 16-pin thin QFN
(4mm x 4mm x 0.8mm) and 14-pin TSSOP packages.

Detailed Description
The MAX4063 is a differential microphone preamplifier providing high-quality amplification, optimized
for use in computer and mobile applications. This device
features adjustable gain, very high power-supply rejection (95dB), and common-mode rejection (79dB), making
it ideal for low-noise applications. The MAX4063 provides
a differential input stage, making the device particularly
effective when layout constraints force the microphone
amplifier to be physically remote from the ECM microphone.
The MAX4063 is capable of switching its output
between the differential input and an inverting singleended input. INT/AUX selects either the differential
input or single-ended auxiliary input. In addition, the
MAX4063 has an integrated microphone bias source,
simplifying system design and eliminating the need for
external components. The MAX4063 has a complementary output allowing CODECs and other devices with
differential inputs to be optimally driven (see Functional
Diagram). The MAX4063 includes a 0.3µA shutdown
mode for ultimate power savings. The differential gain
of the MAX4063 is set with a single resistor connected
between the G1 and G2 pins. The MAX4063 has an
internal default gain of 20V/V on the AUX_IN input. The
AUX_IN gain can be increased with a single external
resistor (see the Differential-Gain Adjustment and
Auxiliary Input-Gain Adjustment sections).
Differential Input
The main microphone amplifier is a low-noise, differential input structure. This is an almost essential element
when faced with amplification of low-amplitude analog
signals in digitally intense environments such as note-

book PCs or PDAs. Used correctly, the advantages
over a single-ended solution are:
• Better power-supply noise rejection.
• Less degradation from noise in PC board ground
planes.
• The microphone and preamplifier may be placed
physically further apart, easing PC board layout
restrictions.
Differential-Gain Adjustment
The MAX4063 allows the user to alter the differential
gain to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of their
system. The gain is set by a single external resistor
(RG) connected between the G1 and G2 pins:
where AVis the required voltage gain.
Hence, an 11.11kΩ resistor yields a gain of 20V/V, or
26dB. Leaving the pins unconnected results in a gain of
2V/V. Gain is defined as:
For differential out:
The resistor can be either fixed or variable, allowing the
use of a digitally controlled potentiometer to alter the
gain under software control.
Auxiliary Input-Gain Adjustment
The MAX4063 provides an option to increase the
AUX_IN (see Figure 3). To increase the gain, connect
resistor R

between the ADJ and AUX_IN pins. R

Input Capacitors
The two differential microphone inputs and the singleended auxiliary input of the MAX4063 have on-chip
bias components, allowing the user to AC-couple any
signals into the input. The input resistance is 100kΩ
(typ), so the capacitor size may be chosen accordingly
to define the LF rolloff desired. This can be calculated
as:
C
IN
= 1 / (2πf
CUTRIN
)
This assumes a low source impedance is driving the
inputs.
A further consideration for the differential input is the
effect of these series input capacitors on low-frequency,
common-mode rejection. Any mismatch in the values of
these two capacitors degrades the CMRR at frequencies where the impedance of the capacitor is significant
compared to the input resistance of the amplifier—this is
usually most noticeable at low frequencies. One way to
avoid the need for matched or tight tolerance capacitors is to deliberately oversize the values on the differential inputs and to set the lower 3dB point (f
CUT
) of the
amplifier by sizing the output capacitor appropriately.
The input impedance matching on the differential input
is typically 1%, allowing input capacitor matching to be
effective at improving low-frequency PSRR.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio
The common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) refers to the
amount of rejection that the amplifier is capable of providing to any signal applied equally to the IN+ and INinputs. In the case of amplifying low-level microphone
signals in noisy digital environments, it is a key figure of
merit. In audio circuits, this is generally measured for
VINas an AC signal:
CMRR(dB) = A
DM
/ A
CM
where ADMis the differential gain, ACMis the commonmode gain.

Input voltages should be sufficiently small such that the
output is not clipped in either differential or commonmode application. The topology used in the MAX4063
means that the CMRR actually improves at higher differential gains—another advantage of using differential
sensing.
Auxiliary Input
The auxiliary input is a single-ended input intended to
be used with a jack-socket type microphone input
(Figure 1). Internal DC-bias components (as on the
main inputs) allow the input signal to be AC-coupled.
Mechanically switched jack sockets can be used in
conjunction with the INT/AUX select pin, allowing the
auxiliary microphone input to be automatically selected
when a jack socket is inserted.
Microphone Bias Voltage
On the MAX4063 thin QFN package, connect the
exposed paddle (backside of PRS) to the ground
plane. The MAX4063 has an integrated low-noise, lowoutput impedance bias voltage. An optimum electret
bias resistor can be set externally. This gives a lownoise, flexible solution that can run from 2.4V to 5.5V,
which is suitable for hand-held devices such as PDAs
that typically have audio power supplies in the 3V
region (Figure 2).
Output
DC Bias
In shutdown mode, the bias voltage is disabled. OUT
and OUT have a low-noise, DC-bias voltage independent of the power supplies, resulting in superior PSRR
performance. The MAX4063 outputs are high impedance when the part is in shutdown mode.
Differential Output
The MAX4063 features a differential output stage (OUT
and OUT), allowing optimum performance when connected to ADCs and CODECs with differential inputs.
This differential output is particularly useful in designs
where the microphone preamplifier is mounted some
distance away from the CODEC/ADC, as the low-impedance, differential line provides excellent noise rejection
and immunity (Figure 4).
Applications Information
Shutdown Mode
The MAX4063 features a low-power, complete shutdown mode. When SHDN goes low, the supply current
drops to 0.3µA, the output enters a high-impedance
state, and the bias current to the microphone is
switched off. Driving SHDN high enables the amplifier.
SHDN should not be left floating.
Power Supplies and Layout
The MAX4063 operates from a 2.4V to 5.5V single supply. Bypass the power supply with a 0.1µF capacitor to
ground. In systems where analog and digital grounds
are available, the MAX4063 should be connected to the
analog ground.
