DC CHARACTERISTIC
The fig.5 shows the equivalent simplified circuit of
the DC regulator that provides to give the oppor-
tune DC impedance Zdc.

At IL = 6.5 mA no current flows through Z4 but
only in the rest of the circuit for internal biasing
(Io;Ia). The bias current Io is fixed by the resistor
R2. The line voltage in this case is :
VL = Ia RA + VR1 = 1.6 V
The Fig.6 shows the DC characteristic (voltage
between pin 12 and pin 3 versus line current).
The device own an equivalent zener voltage at
pin 5 that can be used as supply voltage for elec-
tret microphone (see Block Diagram).
The value of the resistor R2 and the capacitor C2
should be chosen in order to not affect the AC
line inpedance. The Fig.7 shows the zener
