The MAX9812_/MAX9813_ are low-power fixed-gain microphone amplifiers available in a single- or dual- Shutdown Mode input configuration. The gain is set at 10V/V (20dB) with SHDN controls whether the MAX9812_/MAX9813_ is a 400kHz, -3dB bandwidth. They also feature a low- active or in shutdown mode. Driving SHDN low forces a noise, integrated microphone input bias voltage. low-power (100nA) shutdown mode. In this mode, the OUT pin is set to a high-impedance state and the BIAS Single/Dual Input pin is pulled down (70kΩ).
