"2.7.4 External Microphone Input
A stereo jack is provided on the laptop for connecting an external microphone,
switch, or other sensor. This jack is connected to the audio codec’s microphone
input, with provides a programmable gain preamplifier, with a gain of 0, 10,
20, or 30 dB. The input impedance is 10 KΩ.
A DC blocking capacitor may be inserted into the input signal path, under
software control. This is used when the input is an audio signal. When used,
the frequency response of the input is flat down to 10 Hz.
A bias voltage (1.5 or 2.5V, with a 3 KΩ source impedance) may also be driven
onto this external microphone input, under software control
This may be used to power external electret condenser microphones, or used to
sense whether an external switch is open or closed. Due to the high impedance
of the bias source, this input may safely be shorted to ground.
An external voltage applied to this input is limited to between 0 and 3.5 V.
Inputs exceeding this range may cause excessive current to flow through a
protective diode.
When the external microphone jack is in use, the internal microphone is
disconnected, and the indicator light indicating microphone use is disabled.
The state of this jack may be queried by software."
