    Users Guide XE1401SK Hardware 5.2.8 XE3006 CODEC The XE3006 (U2) is an ultra low power CODEC. The balanced speaker output signals from the CODEC are filtered by an onboard low-pass filter to match with the included headset. For best performance and voice quality, the filter must be adapted to match with the used speaker.
  • Page 15: Xe1401 - Application Board Connector

    XE1401 – Application Board Connector It is possible to connect an external application board to the XE1401SK by using the 50 pins connector JP2. The pinning of this 50 pins male connector reflects the pinning of the XE1401 (XE1401 - pin 1 = JP2 - pin 1, XE1401 - pin 2 = JP2 - pin 2 …).
