INMP621
Wide Dynamic Range Microphone with PDM Digital Output
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The INMP621*is a high sound pressure level (SPL), ultra-low
noise, low power, digital output, bottom ported
omnidirectional MEMS microphone. This microphone clips at
133 dB SPL, which is useful for clearly capturing audio in loud
environments. The INMP621 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 INMP621 is pin compatible with the INMP421 and
INMP521 microphones, providing an easy upgrade path.
The INMP621 has a high SNR of 65 dBA and sensitivity of
−46 dBFS. The INMP621 has an extended wideband frequency
response, resulting in natural sound with high intelligibility.
Low current consumption and a sleep mode at less than
5.5 µA enables long battery life for portable applications.
The INMP621 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.
