INMP522
Ultra-Low Noise, Low Sensitivity Tolerance, PDM Digital Microphone
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The INMP522* is an omnidirectional, bottom-ported, digital
output MEMS microphone with high performance, ultra-low
noise, and low power. The INMP522 has a sensitivity
tolerance of ±1 dB from part to part, making it ideal for
microphone array and beamforming applications.
The INMP522 consists of a MEMS microphone element and an
impedance converter amplifier followed by a fourth-order Σ-Δ
modulator. The digital interface enables the pulse density
modulated (PDM) output of two microphones to be time-
multiplexed on a single data line using a single clock. The
INMP522 is function- and pin-compatible with the INMP521 and
INMP421 microphones, providing an easy upgrade path.
The INMP522 has a very high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of
65 dBA and sensitivity of −26 dBFS, making it an excellent
choice for near- and far-field applications. The INMP522 has
an extended wideband frequency response, resulting in
natural sound with high intelligibility. Low current
consumption and a sleep mode with less than 2 µA current
consumption enables long battery life for portable
applications.
The INMP522 is available in a thin 4 × 3 × 1 mm surface-
mount package. It is reflow solder compatible with no
sensitivity degradation.
*Protected by U.S. Patents 7,449,356; 7,825,484; 7,885,423; and 7,961,897.
Other patents are pending.
