ICS-40300
High SPL Analog Microphone with Extended Low Frequency Response
APPLICATIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS-40300* is a low-noise, high SPL MEMS microphone
with extended low frequency response. The ICS-40300
consists of a MEMS microphone element and an impedance
converter amplifier. The ICS-40300 low frequency response
makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring precise
phase matching. The ICS-40300 is pin compatible with the
INMP401 and INMP411 microphones, providing an easy
upgrade path.
The ICS-40300 has a linear response up to 130 dB SPL. It
offers low frequency extension down to 6 Hz, resulting in
excellent phase characteristics in the audio range. Low
current consumption enables long battery life for portable
applications.
The ICS-40300 is available in a 4.72 mm × 3.76 mm × 3.5 mm
surface-mount package. It is reflow solder compatible with no
sensitivity degradation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONNECTING TO AUDIO CODECS
The ICS-40300 output can be connected to a dedicated codec microphone input (see Figure 12) or to a high input impedance gain
stage (see Figure 13.) A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the ICS-40300 supply pin is used for testing and is recommended to
adequately decouple the microphone from noise on the power supply. A DC-blocking capacitor is required at the output of the
microphone. This capacitor creates a high-pass filter with a corner frequency at
fC = 1/(2π × C × R)
where R is the input impedance of the codec.
A minimum value of 22 µF is recommended in Figure 12 because the input impedance of some codecs can be as low as 2 kΩ at their
highest PGA gain setting, which results in a high-pass filter corner frequency at 3.6 Hz. At lower gain settings, where the codec input
impedance is also lower, a smaller AC-coupling capacitor can be used. Figure 13 shows the ICS-40300 connected to an op amp
configured as a non-inverting preamplifier.

DYNAMIC RANGE CONSIDERATIONS
To fully utilize the 99 dB dynamic range of the ICS-40300 in a design, the preamp, ADC, or codec circuit following it must be chosen
carefully. A typical codec may have a 100 dB dynamic range with VDD = 3.3 V. To match the dynamic ranges between the microphone
and the ADC input of the codec, some gain must be added to the ICS-40300 output. For example, at the 130 dB SPL maximum acoustic
input, the ICS-40300 outputs a −9 dBV rms signal. The full-scale input voltage of a codec may be 0 dBV; therefore, 9 dB of gain must be
added to the signal to match the dynamic range of the microphone with the dynamic range of the codec.

PCB DESIGN AND LAND PATTERN LAYOUT
The recommended PCB land pattern for the ICS-40300 should be laid out to a 1:1 ratio to the solder pads on the microphone
package, as shown in Figure 14. Take care to avoid applying solder paste to the sound hole in the PCB. A suggested solder paste
stencil pattern layout is shown in Figure 15. The diameter of the sound hole in the PCB should be larger than the diameter of the
sound port of the microphone. A minimum diameter of 0.5 mm is recommended.

PCB MATERIAL AND THICKNESS
The performance of the ICS-40300 is not affected by PCB thickness. The ICS-40300 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.

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
PICK AND PLACE EQUIPMENT
The MEMS microphone can be handled using standard pick-and-place and chip shooting equipment. Take care to avoid damage to the
MEMS microphone structure as follows:
• 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.
REFLOW SOLDER
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 1 and Table 3.
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.
