DESCRIPTION
The WM7210 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 WM7210 incorporates Wolfson’s proprietary
CMOS/MEMS membrane technology, offering high
reliability and high performance in a miniature, low-profile
package. The WM7210 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 WM7210 incorporates a high performance ADC,
which outputs a single-bit Pulse Density Modulated (PDM)
audio data stream. The WM7210 supports selectable
left/right channel assignment for a two-channel digital
microphone interface, enabling efficient connection of
multiple microphones in stereo/array configurations.
The WM7210E 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.
