connected to the CD analog source ground. Follow-
ing the reference designs in Figure 11 and
Figure 12 provides extra attenuation of common
mode noise coming from the CD-ROM drive,
thereby producing a higher quality signal. One per-
cent resistors are recommended since closely
matched resistor values provide better com-
mon-mode attenuation of unwanted signals. The
circuit shown in Figure 11 can be used to attenuate
a 2 VRMS CD input signal by 6 dB. The circuit
shown in Figure 12 can be used for a 1 VRMS CD in-
put signal.
6. ANALOG HARDWARE
DESCRIPTION
The analog line-level input hardware consists of
four stereo inputs (LINE_IN_L/R, CD_L/GND/R,
VIDEO_L/R, and AUX_L/R), two selectable
mono microphone inputs (MIC1 and MIC2), and
two mono inputs (PC_BEEP and PHONE). The an-
alog line-level output hardware consists of a mono
output (MONO_OUT), and dual stereo line outputs
(LINE_OUT_L/R and ALT_LINE_OUT_L/R).
This section describes the analog hardware needed
to interface with these pins. The designs presented
in this section comply with specifications detailed
in Chapter 17 of the Microsoft PC Design Guide-
lines [7] (referred to as PC 99). For EMI reduction
techniques refer to the application note N165:
CS4297A/CS4299 EMI Reduction Techniques [5].

All analog inputs to the CS4297A, including
CD_GND, should be capacitively coupled to the
input pins. Unused analog inputs should be tied to-
gether and connected through a capacitor to analog
ground or tied to the Vrefout pin directly. The max-
imum allowed voltage for analog inputs, except the
microphone input, is 1 VRMS. For the microphone
input the maximum allowed voltage depends on the
selected boost setting.

6.1.1 Line-Level Inputs
Figure 10 shows circuitry for a line-level stereo in-
put. Replicate this circuit for the Line, Video and
Aux inputs. This design attenuates the input by
6 dB, bringing the signal from the PC 99 specified
2 VRMS, to the CS4297A maximum allowed
