WOLFSON WM7220

WM7220, WM7220E
w
Top Port Digital Silicon Microphone
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
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.
The WM7220E variant offers a tighter tolerance on the
microphone sensitivity, giving reduced variation between
parts. This removes the need for in-line production
calibration of part-to-part microphone variations.

Preliminary Technical Data
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Permanent damage to the device may be caused by continuously operating at
or beyond these limits. Device functional operating limits and guaranteed performance specifications are given under Electrical
Characteristics at the test conditions specified.
ESD Sensitive Device. This device is manufactured on a CMOS process. It is therefore generically susceptible
to damage from excessive static voltages. Proper ESD precautions must be taken during handling and storage
of this device.
Wolfson tests its package types according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 for Moisture Sensitivity to determine acceptable storage
conditions prior to surface mount assembly. These levels are:
MSL1 = unlimited floor life at <30C / 85% Relative Humidity. Not normally stored in moisture barrier bag.
MSL2 = out of bag storage for 1 year at <30C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
MSL2A = out of bag storage for 4 weeks at <30°C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
MSL3 = out of bag storage for 168 hours at <30C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level for each package type is specified in Ordering Information.

IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY GUIDELINES
Do not put a vacuum over the port hole of the microphone. Placing a vacuum over the port hole can damage the device. For
information on recommended pick and place vacuum point, refer to the package dimension drawing.
Do not board wash the microphone after a re-flow process. Board washing and the associated cleaning agents can damage
the device. Do not expose to ultrasonic cleaning methods.
Do not use vapour phase re-flow process. The vapour can damage the device.
Please refer to application note WAN_0273 for further assembly and handling guidelines.

TERMINOLOGY
1.
Sensitivity (dBFS) - Sensitivity is a measure of the microphone output response to the acoustic pressure of a 1kHz
94dB SPL (1Pa RMS) sine wave. This is referenced to the output Full Scale Range (FSR) of the microphone.
2.
Full Scale Range (FSR) - Sensitivity, Electrical Noise Floor and Power Supply Rejection are measured with reference
to the output Full Scale Range (FSR) of the microphone. FSR is defined as the amplitude of a 1kHz sine wave output
whose positive peak value reaches 100% density of logic 1s and whose negative peak value reaches 0% density of
logic 1s. This is the largest undistorted 1kHz sine wave that will fit in the digital output numerical range. Note that,
because the definition of FSR is based on a sine wave, it is possible to support a square wave test signal output
whose level is +3dBFS.
3.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (dB) – SNR is a measure of the difference in level between the output response of a 1kHz 94dB
SPL sine wave and the idle noise output.
4.
Total Harmonic Distortion (%) – THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the harmonic distortion products in the specified
bandwidth (see note below) relative to the RMS amplitude of the fundamental (ie. test frequency) output.
5.
All performance measurements are carried out with 20kHz low pass ‘brick-wall’ filter and, where noted, an A-weighted
filter. Failure to use these filters will result in higher THD and lower SNR values than are found in the Acoustic and
Electrical Characteristics. The brick wall filter removes out of band noise.

Preliminary Technical Data
SLEEP Mode is enabled when the CLK input is below the CLK Sleep Frequency noted above. This is a power saving
mode. Normal operation resumes automatically when the CLK input is above the CLK Sleep Frequency. Note that the
VDD supply is still required in SLEEP mode.

Notes:
1.
The DAT output is high-impedance when not outputting data; this enables the outputs of two microphones to be
connected together, with the data from one microphone interleaved with the data from the other. (The microphones
must be configured to transmit on opposite channels in this case.)
2.
3.
In a typical configuration, the Left channel is transmitted following the rising CLK edge (LRSEL = 1). In this case, the
Left channel should be sampled by the receiving device on the falling CLK edge,
Similarly, the Right channel is typically transmitted following the falling CLK edge (LRSEL = 0). In this case, the Right
channel should be sampled by the receiving device on the rising CLK edge.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RECOMMENDED EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
It is recommended to connect a 0.1µF decoupling capacitor between the VDD and GND pins of the
WM7220. A ceramic 0.1µF capacitor with X7R dielectric or better is suitable. The capacitor should be
placed as close to the WM7220 as possible.
CONNECTION TO A WOLFSON AUDIO CODEC
Wolfson provides a range of audio CODECs incorporating a digital microphone input interface; these
support direct connection to digital microphones such as the WM7220.
Stereo connection of two WM7220 digital microphones to the WM8994 CODEC is illustrated in Figure
2.
A 0.1µF decoupling capacitor is recommended; this should be positioned close to the VDD pin of the
WM7220. A ceramic 0.1µF capacitor with X7R dielectric or better is suitable.
Further information on the WM8994 is provided in the product datasheet, which is available from the
Wolfson website. The equivalent connections can be made to other Wolfson devices supporting a
digital microphone interface.
