GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADMP6211 is a high sound pressure level (SPL), ultralow
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
ADMP621 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
ADMP621 is pin compatible with the ADMP421 and ADMP521
microphones, providing an easy upgrade path.
1
The ADMP621 has a high SNR of 65 dBA and sensitivity of
−46 dBFS. The ADMP621 has an extended wideband frequency
response, resulting in natural sound with high intelligibility.
Low current consumption and a sleep mode with less than
5.5 µA of current consumption enables long battery life for
portable applications.
The ADMP621 is available in a thin 4 mm × 3 mm × 1 mm
surface-mount package. It is reflow solder compatible with
no sensitivity degradation.

THEORY OF OPERATION
PDM DATA FORMAT
PDM MICROPHONE SENSITIVITY
The output from the DATA pin of the ADMP621 is in pulse
density modulated (PDM) format. This data is the 1-bit output
of a fourth-order Σ-Δ modulator. The data is encoded so that the
left channel is clocked on the falling edge of CLK, and the right
channel is clocked on the rising edge of CLK. After driving the
DATA signal high or low in the appropriate half frame of the
CLK signal, the DATA driver of the microphone tristates. In this
way, two microphones, one set to the left channel and the other
to the right, can drive a single DATA line. See Figure 3 for a
timing diagram of the PDM data format; the DATA1 and
DATA2 lines shown in this figure are two halves of the single
physical DATA signal. Figure 12 shows a diagram of the two
stereo channels sharing a common DATA line.
The sensitivity of a PDM output microphone is specified with
the unit dBFS (decibels relative to digital full scale). A 0 dBFS
sine wave is defined as a signal whose peak just touches the fullscale code of the digital word (see Figure 14). This measurement
convention also means that signals with a different crest factor
may have an rms level higher than 0 dBFS. For example, a full-scale
square wave has an rms level of 3 dBFS.
This definition of a 0 dBFS signal must be understood when
measuring the sensitivity of the ADMP621. A 1 kHz sine wave
at a 94 dB SPL acoustic input to the ADMP621 results in an
output signal with a −46 dBFS level. The output digital word
peaks at −46 dB below the digital full-scale level. A common
misunderstanding is that the output has an rms level of −49 dBFS;
however, this is not true because of the definition of the 0 dBFS
sine wave.

If only one microphone is connected to the DATA signal, the
output is only clocked on a single edge (see Figure 13). For
example, a left channel microphone is never clocked on the rising
edge of CLK. In a single microphone application, each bit of the
DATA signal is typically held for the full CLK period until the
next transition because the leakage of the DATA line is not
enough to discharge the line while the driver is tristated.

Figure 14. 1 kHz, 0 dBFS Sine Wave
There is not a commonly accepted unit of measurement to
express the instantaneous level, as opposed to the rms level of
the signal, of a digital signal output from the microphone. Some
measurement systems express the instantaneous level of an
individual sample in units of D, where 1.0 D is digital full scale.
In this case, a −46 dBFS sine wave has peaks at 0.005 D.
For PDM data, the density of the pulses indicates the signal
amplitude. A high density of high pulses indicates a signal near
positive full scale, and a high density of low pulses indicates a signal
near negative full scale. A perfect zero (dc) audio signal shows
an alternating pattern of high and low pulses.
The output PDM data signal has a small dc offset of about 3% of
full scale. A high-pass filter in the codec that is connected to the
digital microphone and does not affect the performance of the
microphone typically removes this dc signal.

DYNAMIC RANGE CONSIDERATIONS
1.8V TO 3.3V
The full-scale digital output (0 dBFS) of the ADMP621 is
mapped to an acoustic input of 140 dB SPL. The microphone
clips (THD = 10%) at 133 dB SPL (see Figure 9); however, it
continues to output an increasingly distorted signal above that
point. The peak output level, which is controlled by the modulator,
limits at about −3 dBFS (see Figure 10).

Figure 16. Stereo PDM Microphone Connection to Codec
Decouple the VDD pin of the ADMP621 to GND with a 0.1 µF
capacitor. Place this capacitor as close to VDD as the printed circuit
board (PCB) layout allows.
Do not use a pull-up or pull-down resistor on the PDM data signal
line because it can pull the signal to an incorrect state during the
period that the signal line is tristated.
The DATA signal does not need to be buffered in normal use when
the ADMP621 microphone(s) is placed close to the codec on the
PCB. If the DATA signal must be driven over a long cable (>15 cm)
or other large capacitive load, a digital buffer may be required. Only
use a signal buffer on the DATA line when one microphone is in
use or after the point where two microphones are connected (see
Figure 17). The DATA output of each microphone in a stereo
configuration cannot be individually buffered because the two
buffer outputs cannot drive a single signal line. If a buffer is
used, take care to select one with low propagation delay so that
the timing of the data connected to the codec is not corrupted.

L/R SELECT
To fully use the 111 dB digital dynamic range of the output data
of the ADMP621 in a design, the digital signal processor (DSP),
analog-to-digital converter (ADC), or codec circuit following it
must be chosen carefully. The decimation filter that inputs the
PDM signal from the ADMP621 must have a dynamic range
sufficiently better than the dynamic range of the microphone
so that the overall noise performance of the system is not
degraded. If the decimation filter has a dynamic range of 10 dB
better than the microphone (121 dB), the overall system noise
only degrades by 0.4 dB.
A PDM output microphone is typically connected to a codec with a
dedicated PDM input. This codec separately decodes the left and
right channels and filters the high sample rate modulated data back
to the audio frequency band. This codec also generates the clock for
the PDM microphones or is synchronous with the source that is
generating the clock. See the Applications Information section
for additional details on connecting the ADMP621 to Analog
Devices, Inc., audio codecs with a PDM input. Figure 15 and
Figure 16 show mono and stereo connections of the ADMP621 to
a codec. The mono connection shows an ADMP621 set to output
data on the right channel. To output on the left channel, tie the
L/R SELECT pin to VDD instead of tying it to GND.

Data Sheet
When long wires are used to connect the codec to the ADMP621,
a source termination resistor can be used on the clock output of
the codec instead of a buffer to minimize signal overshoot or
ringing. Match the value of this resistor to the characteristic
impedance of the CLK trace on the PCB. Depending on the
drive capability of the codec clock output, a buffer may still be
needed, as shown in Figure 17.
from sleep mode and begins to output data 32,768 cycles after the
clock becomes active. For a 3.072 MHz clock, the microphone
starts to output data in 10.7 ms. For a 2.4 MHz clock, the
microphone starts to output data in 13.7 ms. The wake-up
time, as specified in Table 2, indicates the time from when the
clock is enabled to when the ADMP621 outputs data within 3 dB
of its settled sensitivity.
SLEEP MODE
START-UP TIME
The microphone enters sleep mode when the clock frequency falls
below 1 kHz. In this mode, the microphone data output is in a
high impedance state. The current consumption in sleep mode
is less than 5.5 µA.
The start-up time of the ADMP621 from when the clock is
active is the same as the wake-up time. The microphone starts up
32,768 cycles after the clock is active.
The ADMP621 enters sleep mode within 1 ms of the clock
frequency falling below 1 kHz. The microphone wakes up

to 1 mm (0.020 inch to 0.040 inch) diameter for the hole is
recommended. Take care to align the hole in the microphone
package with the hole in the PCB. The exact degree of the
alignment does not affect the microphone performance as long
as the holes are not partially or completely blocked.
The recommended PCB land pattern for the ADMP621 must
be laid out to a 1:1 ratio to the solder pads on the microphone
package, as shown in Figure 19. Avoid applying solder paste to the
sound hole in the PCB. A suggested solder paste stencil pattern
layout is shown in Figure 20.
The response of the ADMP621 is not affected by the PCB hole
size as long as the hole is not smaller than the sound port of the

ADMP621
ALTERNATIVE PCB LAND PATTERNS
PCB MATERIAL AND THICKNESS
The performance of the ADMP621 is not affected by PCB
thickness and can be mounted on either a rigid or flexible PCB.
A flexible PCB with the microphone can be attached directly to
the device housing with an adhesive layer. This mounting method
offers a reliable seal around the sound port, while providing the
shortest acoustic path for good sound quality.
11609-017
The standard PCB land pattern of the ADMP621 has a solid ring
around the edge of the footprint that can make routing the
microphone signals more difficult in some board designs. This
ring is used to improve the radio frequency (RF) immunity
performance of the ADMP621; however, it is not necessary to
have this full ring connected for electrical functionality. If a design
can tolerate reduced RF immunity, this ring can either be broken
or removed completely from the PCB footprint. Figure 21 shows
an example PCB land pattern with no enclosing ring around the
edge of the part, and Figure 22 shows an example PCB land
pattern with the ring broken on two sides so that the inner pads
can be more easily routed on the PCB.
Note that in both of these patterns, the solid ring around the sound
port is still present; this ring is needed to ground the microphone
and for acoustic performance. The pad on the package connected
to this ring is ground and still needs a solid electrical connection to
the PCB ground. If a pattern like one of these two examples is
used on a PCB, take care that the unconnected ring on the bottom
of the ADMP621 is not placed directly over any exposed copper.
This ring on the microphone is still at ground, and any PCB traces
routed underneath it must be properly masked to avoid short
circuits.

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
PICK-AND-PLACE EQUIPMENT
REFLOW SOLDER
The MEMS microphone can be handled using standard pick-andplace and chip shooting equipment. Take care to avoid damage to
the MEMS microphone structure as follows:
For best results, the soldering profile must be in accordance with
the recommendations of the manufacturer of the solder paste used
to attach the MEMS microphone to the PCB. It is recommended
that the solder reflow profile not exceed the limit conditions
specified in Figure 4 and Table 4.
•
•
•
Use a standard pickup tool to handle the microphone.
Because the microphone hole is on the bottom of the
package, the pickup tool can make contact with any part
of the lid surface.
Do not pick up the microphone with a vacuum tool that
makes contact with the bottom side of the microphone.
Do not pull air out of or blow air into the microphone port.
Do not use excessive force to place the microphone on
the PCB.
BOARD WASH
When washing the PCB, ensure that water does not make contact
with the microphone port. Do not use blow off procedures or
ultrasonic cleaning.
