Bottom Port PDM Digital Output Multi-Mode Microphone

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The T5837 is a multi-mode, low noise digital MEMS
microphone in a small package. The T5837 consists
of a MEMS microphone element and an impedance
converter amplifier followed by a 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 T5837 has multiple modes of operation: High
Quality, Low-Power (AlwaysOn), Ultrasonic and
Sleep modes. The T5837 has high SNR in all
operational modes. It has 133 dB SPL AOP in High
Quality Mode and 117 dB SPL AOP in Low-Power mode.
The T5837 is available in a standard 3.5 × 2.65 ×
0.98 mm surface-mount package. It is reflow solder
compatible.

    5.1. PDM DATA FORMAT The output from the DATA pin of the T5837 is in pulse density modulated (PDM) format. This data is the 1-bit output of a 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: Channel Setting

    This definition of a 0 dB FS signal must be understood when measuring the sensitivity of the T5837. A 1 kHz sine wave at a 94 dB SPL acoustic input to the T5837 results in an output signal with a −21 dB FS level (low-power mode).
  • Page 13 T5837 –0.2 –0.4 –0.6 –0.8 –1.0 TIME (ms) Figure 13. 1 kHz, 0 dB FS Sine Wave There is not a commonly accepted unit of measurement to express the instantaneous level, as opposed to the RMS level of the signal, of a digital signal output from the microphone. Some measurement systems express the instantaneous level of an individual sample in units of D, where 1.0 D is digital full scale.
  • Page 14: Applications Information

    0 dB FS. To fully use the 107 dB dynamic range of the output data of the T5837 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 T5837 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 15 T5837 Figure 15. Stereo PDM Microphone Connection to Codec Decouple the VDD pin of the T5837 to GND with a 0.1 µF capacitor. Place this capacitor as close to VDD as the printed circuit board (PCB) layout allows. Do not use a pull-up or pull-down resistor on the PDM data signal line because it can pull the signal to an incorrect state during the period that the signal line is tristated.
  • Page 16: Entering And Exiting Sleep Mode

    Figure 16. Buffered Connections Between Stereo T5837s and a Codec When long wires are used to connect the codec to the T5837, a source termination resistor can be used on the clock output of the codec instead of a buffer to minimize signal overshoot or ringing. Match the value of this resistor to the characteristic impedance of the CLK trace on the PCB.

    Figure 18. The response of the T5837 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). A 0.5 mm to 1 mm diameter for the hole is recommended. Take care to align the hole in the microphone package with the hole in the PCB.

    8.1. PCB MATERIAL AND THICKNESS The performance of the T5837 is not affected by PCB thickness. The T5837 can be mounted on either a rigid or flexible PCB. A flexible PCB with the microphone can be attached directly to the device housing with an adhesive layer.

    MEMS microphone to the PCB. It is recommended that the solder reflow profile not exceed the limit conditions specified in Figure 2 and Table 8. T5837 devices have MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) rating 1, appropriate JEDEC J-STD-020 guidelines should be followed to avoid damaging the part.
