APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONNECTING TO AUDIO CODECS
The INMP401 output can be connected to a dedicated codec microphone input (see Figure 6) or to a high input impedance gain
stage (see Figure 7.) A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the INMP401 supply pin is used for testing and is recommended to
adequately decouple the microphone from noise on the power supply. A DC-blocking capacitor is required at the output of the
microphone. This capacitor creates a high-pass filter with a corner frequency at
f
C
= 1/(2π × C × R)
where R is the input impedance of the codec.
A minimum value of 2.2 µF is recommended in Figure 6 because the input impedance of codecs can be as low as 2 kΩ at its highest
PGA gain setting, which results in a high-pass filter corner frequency at about 37 Hz. Figure 7 shows the INMP401 connected to an op
amp configured as a non-inverting preamplifier.
