DESCRIPTION
The WM7120 is a compact high Signal to Noise Ratio
(SNR) silicon analogue microphone for use in consumer
applications requiring low supply current, typically 140μA,
and excellent signal quality. It offers low THD and good
linearity to offer excellent sound quality. Using Wolfson
Microelectronics’
unique
CMOS/MEMS
membrane
technology it delivers high reliability and performance in a
miniature low profile package.
The WM7120 can withstand the high temperatures needed
for automated reflow solder assembly, which can damage
conventional microphones.
Automated pick and place
equipment can be used for assembly on to circuit boards.
The WM7120E offers tighter sensitivity tolerance which
reduces the variation between microphones and removes
the need for production in-line calibration to compensate for
microphone variation.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Pre-Production
Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Permanent damage to the device may be caused by continuously operating at
or beyond these limits. Device functional operating limits and guaranteed performance specifications are given under Electrical
Characteristics at the test conditions specified.
ESD Sensitive Device. This device is manufactured on a CMOS process. It is therefore generically susceptible
to damage from excessive static voltages. Proper ESD precautions must be taken during handling and storage
of this device.
Wolfson tests its package types according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 for Moisture Sensitivity to determine acceptable storage
conditions prior to surface mount assembly. These levels are:
MSL1 = unlimited floor life at <30°C / 85% Relative Humidity. Not normally stored in moisture barrier bag.
MSL2 = out of bag storage for 1 year at <30°C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
MSL2A = out of bag storage for 4 weeks at <30°C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
MSL3 = out of bag storage for 168 hours at <30°C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level for each package type is specified in Ordering Information.

Do not put a vacuum over the port hole of the microphone. Placing a vacuum over the port hole can damage the device.
For information on recommended pick and place vacuum point, please refer to the package dimension drawing.
Do not board wash the microphone after a reflow process. Board washing and the associated cleaning agents can damage
the device. Do not expose to ultrasonic cleaning methods.

TERMINOLOGY

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (dB) – SNR is a measure of the ratio between the sensitivity of the microphone to a 94dB SPL
sine wave and the A-Weighted analogue idle noise.
Total Harmonic Distortion (dB) – THD is the level of the rms value of the sum of harmonic distortion products relative
to the amplitude of the applied sound pressure level.
All performance measurements carried out with 20 kHz low pass filter, and where noted an A-weighted filter. Failure to
use such a filter will result in higher THD and lower SNR readings than are found in the Acoustic and Electrical
Characteristics. The low pass filter removes out of band noise; although it is not audible it may affect dynamic
specification values.
