Differential Microphone Preamplifier with
Internal Bias and Complete Shutdown
General Description
Features
o 2.4V to 5.5V Single-Supply Operation
The MAX4063 is a differential-input microphone preampli-
fier optimized for high-performance, portable applica-
tions. The device features two selectable inputs,
differential outputs, adjustable gain, an integrated low-
noise bias source, and a low-power shutdown mode.
Two input paths provide both differential and single-
ended microphone sensing. The high-noise rejection of
the differential input is ideally suited to an internal micro-
phone 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.

14-Pin TSSOP
The differential and single-ended inputs have indepen-
dent, adjustable gains that are set with a single external
resistor. Differential outputs provide a full-scale signal of
up to 6V
from a single 3V supply, optimizing the

16-Pin Thin QFN ꢂ4mm x 4mm x 0.8mmꢄ
dynamic range of the amplified signal. A complete shut-
down mode reduces the supply current to only 0.3µA
and disables the microphone bias for the ultimate in
power savings.
