Bottom Port PDM Digital Output Multi-Mode Microphone

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The T3903 is a multi-mode, low noise digital MEMS
microphone in a small package. The T3903 consists of a
MEMS microphone element and an impedance converter
amplifier followed by a fourth-order Σ-Δ modulator. The digital
interface allows the pulse density modulated (PDM) output of
two microphones to be time multiplexed on a single data line
using a single clock.
The T3903 has multiple modes of operation: High Quality,
Low-Power (AlwaysOn), and Sleep. The T3903 has high SNR in
all operational modes. It has 133 dB SPL AOP in High Quality
Mode and 120 dB SPL AOP in Low-Power mode.
The T3903 is available in a standard 3.5 × 2.65 × 0.98 mm
surface-mount package. It is reflow solder compatible with
no sensitivity degradation.

    PDM DATA FORMAT The output from the DATA pin of the T3903 is in pulse density modulated (PDM) format. This data is the 1-bit output of a fourth- order Σ-Δ modulator. The data is encoded so that the left channel is clocked on the falling edge of CLK, and the right channel is clocked on the rising edge of CLK.
  • Page 12 T3903 This definition of a 0 dB FS signal must be understood when measuring the sensitivity of the T3903. A 1 kHz sine wave at a 94 dB SPL acoustic input to the T3903 results in an output signal with a −26 dB FS level (low-power mode). The output digital word peaks at −26 dB below the digital full-scale level.
  • Page 13: Applications Information

    0 dB FS. To fully use the 105 dB dynamic range of the output data of the T3903 in a design, the digital signal processor (DSP) or codec circuit following it must be chosen carefully. The decimation filter that inputs the PDM signal from the T3903 must have a dynamic range sufficiently better than the dynamic range of the microphone so that the overall noise performance of the system is not degraded.
  • Page 14 The DATA signal does not need to be buffered in normal use when the T3903 microphone(s) is placed close to the codec on the PCB. If the DATA signal must be driven over a long cable (>15 cm) or other large capacitive load, a digital buffer may be required. Only use a signal buffer on the DATA line when one microphone is in use or after the point where two microphones are connected (see Figure 14).
  • Page 15: Sleep Mode

    T3903 outputs data within 0.5 dB of its settled sensitivity. START-UP TIME The start-up time of the T3903 is typically 7 ms, measured by the time from when power and clock are enabled until sensitivity of the output signal is within 0.5 dB of its settled sensitivity.

  • Page 17: Pcb Design And Land Pattern Layout

    Avoid applying solder paste to the sound hole in the PCB. A suggested solder paste stencil pattern layout is shown in Figure 16. The response of the T3903 is not affected by the PCB hole size as long as the hole is not smaller than the sound port of the microphone (0.375 mm in diameter).
