LMV1024/LMV1026 (Stereo)
PDM Output with Pre-Amplifier for Electret Microphones
General Description
Features
National’s LMV1024 and LMV1026 stereo amplifiers are solutions for the new generation of voice enrichment capabilities. National has integrated sigma delta modulation and
analog cores to improve the voice quality and the performance and to support designer’s choices.
Each 20 kHz preamplifier drives a Pulse Density Modulated
(PDM) signal at an over sampled 60 bit stream, offering versatility. These solutions provide immediate conversion to high
performance audio spectrum, thus completing a high quality
audio system. The LMV1024 and LMV1026 operate from
1.6V to 3V.
National’s new adjustable clock frequency technology is designed for stereo, performance and ease of use. The stereo
function is either a rising or falling edge clock command. The
high drive, robust PDM signal directly from an ECM (Electret
Condenser Microphone), upgrades existing lower quality,
low-level signal constraints.
These advanced mixed signal preamplifiers cleanly, accurately and creatively eliminate older, poorer quality systems,
which restricted performance and versatility. The 4-wire PDM
signaling reduces RF noise and simplifies layout. Using
National’s PDM solutions is the choice for higher quality mono
or stereo and multi-array applications.
National’s 518uA circuits deliver stereo portability with audio
quality bandwidth. These solutions enable rapid system evaluation and enhance consumer satisfaction. National provides
the LMV1024 and LMV1026 in 6-bump micro SMD packages
with 1 kg adhesion properties.

The LMV1024/LMV1026 consist of a pre-amplifier and sigma
delta converter for placement inside an electret condenser
microphone (ECM). The output of the LMV1024/LMV1026 is
a robust digital serial bit stream eliminating the sensitive lowlevel analog signals of conventional JFET microphones. This
application section describes, among others, a typical application, a sensitivity comparison between different ECM types,
stereo operation and layout recommendations on the ECM
PCBs.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
Figure 1 depicts a typical application, where the LMV1024 or
LMV1026 is built inside the ECM canister. This ECM can be
directly connected to a DSP in a digital audio system, like a
baseband chip in a cell phone. Connecting is easy because
of the digital LMV1024/LMV1026 interface. A digital filter in
the DSP or Baseband decimates the audio signal.

to conventional microphones. This section compares the various microphone types and their sensitivity. Examples are
given to calculate the resulting output for a given sound pressure.
A-WEIGHTED FILTER
The human ear has a frequency range from about 20 Hz to
20 kHz. Within this range the sensitivity of the human ear is
not equal for each frequency. In order to approach a natural
hearing response, weighting filters are introduced. One of
these filters is the A-weighted filter. The A-weighted filter is
commonly used in signal-to-noise ratio measurements, where
sound is compared to device noise. The filter improves the
correlation of the measured data to the signal-to-noise ratio
perceived by the human ear.
Sound Pressure Level
The volume of sound applied to a microphone is usually stated as a sound pressure in dB SPL. This unity of dB SPL refers
to the threshold of hearing of the human ear. The sound pressure in decibels is defined by:
SPL = 20 log (PM/PO)
Where,SPL is the Sound Pressure in dB SPLPM is the measured absolute sound pressure in PaPO is the threshold of
hearing (20 µPa)
In order to calculate the resulting output voltage of the electret
element for a given sound pressure in dB SPL, the absolute
sound pressure PM must be known. This is the absolute sound
pressure in decibels referred to 1 Pa instead of 20 µPa.
The absolute sound pressure PM in dBPa is given by:PM =
SPL (dB SPL) + PO (dBPa)PM = SPL + 20*log 20 µPaPM =
SPL - 94 dB
JFET Microphone
Translation from the absolute sound pressure level to a voltage can be done when the electrets sensitivity is known. A
typical electret element has a sensitivity of −44 dB(V/Pa). This
is also the typical sensitivity number for the JFET microphone,
since a JFET usually has a gain of about 1x (0 dB). A block
diagram of a microphone with a JFET is given in Figure 5.
Example: Busy traffic has a Sound Pressure of 70 dB SPL.
Microphone Output = SPL + C + S
Where,SPL is the Sound Pressure in dB SPLC is the dB SPL
to dBPa conversion (−94 dB)S is the Sensitivity in dB(V/Pa)
Microphone Output = 70 – 94 – 44 = −68 dBVThis is equivalent to 1.13 mVPP.
The analog output signal is so low that it can easily be distorted by interference from outside the microphone. Additional gain is desirable to make the signal less sensitive to
interference.
20133440
FIGURE 4. A-weighted Filter
SENSITIVITY
Sensitivity is a measure for the transfer from the applied
acoustic signal to the output of the microphone. Conventional
JFET microphones and microphones with built-in gain have
a sensitivity that is expressed in dB(V/Pa), where 0dB = 1V/
Pa. A certain pressure on the electret of the microphone gives
a certain voltage at the output of the microphone. Since the
LMV1024 microphone has a digital output, the sensitivity will
be stated in dB(Full Scale/Pascal) or dB(FS/Pa) as opposed

band chip significantly. To minimize interference ultimately,
an Analog-to-Digital converter is integrated in both the
LMV1024/LMV1026, realizing a digital interface between the
microphone and the baseband.
Microphone with Additional Gain
When gain is added to the electret element, the analog signal
becomes larger and therefore more robust. This can be accomplished by using a pre-amplifier with a higher gain then
the JFET. The sensitivity of the microphone consists of the
sensitivity of the electret plus the gain of the pre-amplifier.
When choosing National Semiconductor's LMV1015-15 for
instance, a gain of 15 dB is added by the pre-amplifier. This
results in a sensitivity of −29 dB(V/Pa) with a typical electret
element of −44 dB(V/Pa). National Semiconductor has a wide
range of pre-amplifiers with different gain factors, which can
be used to replace the JFET inside the microphone canister.
Please visit www.national.com for more information on the
LMV1015 and LMV1032 pre-amplifier series. A block diagram
with the LMV1015 pre-amplifier inside an ECM is given in
Figure 5.
When taking the same example of busy traffic (70 dB SPL),
the output voltage of the microphone with the LMV1015 is:
Microphone Output = SP + C + S
Where,SP is the Sound Pressure in dB SPLC is the dB SPL
to dBPa conversion (−94 dB)S is the Sensitivity in dB(V/Pa)
Microphone output = 70 - 94 - 29 = −53 dBV. This is equivalent
to 6.33 mVPP.
The pre-amplifier with additional gain reduces the impact of
noise on the wiring / traces from the microphone to the base-
Digital Microphone
By integrating the Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC) in the
LMV1024/LMV1026 all analog signals are kept within the
“shielded” microphone canister. The output is a digital interface that is robust and insensitive to interference and noise
from outside the canister. The output is expressed in dBFS
and therefore the sensitivity is also stated in dB(FS/Pa) instead of dB(V/Pa). To calculate the digital output (Data) in
dBFS the following equation can be written for the LMV1024/
LMV1026:
(1)
Where,
PREF is the reference power, which is defined as the maximum
allowed input power (Full Scale). PINPUT is the applied power
on the input pin and “A” is the gain of the pre-amplifier in decibels.
Written into voltages, the equation is:

LMV1024/LMV1026
Where,SP is the Sound Pressure in dB SPLC is the dB SPL
to dBPa conversion (−94 dB)S is the Sensitivity in dB(V/Pa)
Taking the example of busy traffic (70 dB SPL) again results
in the following digital output (dBFS):
Digital Output (dBFS) = SP - C + SDigital Output (dBFS) = 70
- 94 - 28.8 = −52.8 dBFS
(2)
Or in decibels:Digital Output (dBFS) = Input (dBV) - Reference (dB) + A
Where,Input = 20 Log VINPUT (VRMS)Ref = 20 Log VREF
(VRMS)A is the Gain (dB)
For the LMV1024/LMV1026 the reference voltage VREF is
1.5VP (1.06 VRMS) and the Gain A is 15.7 dB. These parameters are fixed inside the device. Knowing this, Equation 2 can
be simplified:
Digital Output (dBFS) = VINPUT (dBV) - 0.5 + 15.7Digital Output (dBFS) = VINPUT (dBV) + 15.2
The sensitivity of the digital microphone is the sensitivity of a
conventional microphone plus the input to output transfer of
the LMV1024. The sensitivity of a typical digital microphone
is therefore: −44 + 15.2 = −28.8 dB(FS/Pa).
Digital Output = SP + C + S
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
The ADC used in the LMV1024/LMV1026 is an one bit sigma
delta converter with a Pulse Density Modulated output signal
(PDM). The output of this ADC can be either High (one) or
Low (zero). Assume that the LMV1024/LMV1026 input is at
the minimum level. In that case the DATA output will produce
almost only “zeros”. When the input increases, the amount of
“ones” increases too. At mid-point, where the input is 0V, the
number of “zeros” will equal the number of “ones”. At the time
that the input approaches the maximum level, the DATA output produces a majority of “ones”. Figure 6 shows the resulting DATA output as function of the input.
20133472
FIGURE 6. DATA Output versus Input Amplitude
The high corner of the band of interest (knee) is determined
by the clock frequency divided by 2 times the OSR. The factor
of two comes from the Nyquist theorem. The over sampling
ratio (OSR) of this particular ADC is chosen at 60. This sets
the high corner of the band at the clock frequency divided by
120. For instance when a bandwidth of 10 kHz is desired, the
clock frequency needs to be 1.2 MHz or higher. Figure 7 depicts the noise shaping effect in a frequency spectrum plot,
where a 1 kHz signal is applied.
An important characteristic of the sigma delta converter is that
the noise is shifted out of the band to frequencies above the
band of interest. The band that can be used (Audio Bandwidth) relates directly the applied clock frequency. Table 1
shows the relation between the Clock Frequency and a couple of common Audio Bandwidths.

LMV1026 built-in. These two microphones share the same
interface lines to minimize wiring (Figure 9).
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
To obtain the best possible performance from the microphone, special care needs to be taken for the design of the
PCB. Especially the VIN trace is very sensitive as it is connected to the high impedance electret element. It is essential
to isolate and shield the VIN trace as much as possible from
the digital signal traces (DATA and CLOCK). This needs to
be done to avoid any switching noise coupling directly into the
input of the IC. An example of a PCB layout is given in Figure
11. The microphone PCB has two capacitors. One capacitor
(100 nF) is connected to the reference pin of the LMV1024/
LMV1026. The other capacitor (10 nF) is used as decoupling
for high frequencies on the supply. No capacitors should be
placed on the data output of the LMV1024/LMV1026 since it
will only load the output driver and would degrade the performance. This is opposite to the regular analog phantom biased
microphones, where capacitors are needed to improve RFI.

same I/O lines (Data and Clock). To avoid overlap between
the drivers of the microphones, one microphone always goes
into a high impedance state before the second microphone
starts driving the data-line. The LMV1024 is positive edge
triggered while the LMV1026 is negative edge triggered. The
timing between the two microphones is shown in Figure 10.
For exact timing values, please see the Electrical Characteristics table.
To eliminate the noise above the band of interest a low pass
decimation filter is implemented in the baseband chip or DSP.
The resulting frequency spectrum contains only the frequency
components left within the band of interest. Figure 8 depicts
the frequency spectrum after filtering.
