GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
ADMP441
1
is a high performance, low power, digital output,
omnidirectional MEMS microphone with a bottom port. The
complete
ADMP441
solution consists of a MEMS sensor, signal
conditioning, an analog-to-digital converter, antialiasing filters,
power management, and an industry standard 24-bit I2S inter-
face. The I2S interface allows the
ADMP441
to connect directly
to digital processors, such as DSPs and microcontrollers, with-
out the need for an audio codec in the system.
The
ADMP441
has a high SNR and high sensitivity, making it
an excellent choice for far field applications. The ADMP441 has
a flat wideband frequency response, resulting in natural sound
with high intelligibility. A built-in particle filter provides high
reliability.
The
ADMP441
is available in a thin 4.72 mm × 3.76 mm ×
1 mm surface-mount package. It is reflow solder compatible
with no sensitivity degradation. The
ADMP441
is halide free.
