WM7220: Top Port Digital Silicon Microphone


Description

The WM7220 is a low-profile silicon digital microphone. It offers high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and low power consumption and is suited to a wide variety of consumer applications.

The WM7220 incorporates Wolfson’s proprietary CMOS/MEMS membrane technology, offering high reliability and high performance in a miniature, low-profile package. The WM7220 is designed to withstand the high temperatures associated with automated flow solder assembly processes. (Note that conventional microphones can be damaged by this process.)

The WM7220 incorporates a high performance ADC, which outputs a single-bit Pulse Density Modulated (PDM) audio data stream. The WM7220 supports selectable left/right channel assignment for a two-channel digital microphone interface, enabling efficient connection of multiple microphones in stereo/array configurations.
