<p>To achieve compatibility with the <a href="plug-headset-spec.html">3.5 mm plug
headset specification</a>, devices that include a 4 conductor 3.5 mm audio jack
must meet the following specifications. For Android compatibility requirements,
refer to the <em>Analog audio ports</em> section of the <a
href="{@docRoot}compatibility/android-cdd.html#7_8_audio">Android CDD</a>.</p>

<p>Devices must detect the following resistor ladder on the accessories. The
accessories will be tested to the standardized circuit diagram in the diagram
illustrated earlier (Reference Headset Test Circuit) where the total impedance
is measured from MIC terminal to GND when a button is pressed with 2.2V mic
bias applied through 2.2 kOhm resistor. This is the same effective resistance
as the button detection circuit with the microphone in parallel with the button
resistor.</p>
