IM73A135V01
IP57 dust and water resistant analog XENSIVTM MEMS microphone
Description
The IM73A135V01 is designed for applications which require a microphone with high SNR (low self-noise), low
distortion (high AOP), which is also IP57 robust to dust and water.
Best-in-class Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of 73dB(A) enables far field and low volume audio pick-up. The flat
frequency response ( 20Hz low-frequency roll-off) and tight manufacturing tolerance improve the performance
of multi-microphone array applications.
The high performance analog microphone ASIC contains an extremely low noise preamplifier and a high
performance differential output amplifier. Different power modes can be selected in order to suit specific
current consumption requirements.
Each IM73A135V01 microphone is calibrated with an advanced Infineon calibration algorithm, resulting in small
sensitivity tolerances (± 1dB).

Technology qualified for industrial applications.
Ready for validation in industrial applications according to the relevant tests of IEC 60747 and 60749 or
alternatively JEDEC47/20/22.
Environmental robustness
Infineon’s latest Sealed Dual Membrane MEMS technology delivers high ingress protection (IP57) at a
microphone level. The sealed MEMS design prevents water or dust from entering between membrane
and backplate, preventing mechanical blockage or electric leakage issues commonly observed in MEMS
microphones. Microphones built with the sealed dual membrane technology can be used to create IP68 devices,
requiring only minimal mesh protection.

Footprint and stencil recommendation

Footprint and stencil recommendation
The acoustic port hole diameter in the PCB should be larger than the acoustic port hole diameter of the MEMS
Microphone to ensure optimal performance. A PCB sound port size of radius 0.4 mm (diameter 0.8mm) is
recommended.
The board pad and stencil aperture recommendations shown in Figure 13 are based on Solder Mask Defined
(SMD) pads. The specific design rules of the board manufacturer should be considered for individual design
optimizations or adaptations.

Reflow soldering and board assembly
Infineon MEMS microphones are qualified in accordance with the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D-01. The moisture
sensitivity level of MEMS microphones is rated as MSL1. For PCB assembly of the MEMS microphone the widely
used reflow soldering using a forced convection oven is recommended.
The soldering profile should be in accordance with the recommendations of the solder paste manufacturer
to reach an optimal solder joint quality. The reflow profile shown in Figure 15 is recommended for board
manufacturing with Infineon MEMS microphones.

Reflow soldering and board assembly
The MEMS microphones can be handled using industry standard pick and place equipment. Care should be
taken to avoid damage to the microphone structure as follows:
•
Do not pick the microphone with vacuum tools which make contact with the microphone acoustic port
hole.
•
The microphone acoustic port hole should not be exposed to vacuum, this can destroy or damage the
MEMS.
•
Do not blow air into the microphone acoustic port hole. If an air blow cleaning process is used, the port
hole must be sealed to prevent particle contamination.
•
It is recommended to perform the PCB assembly in a clean room environment in order to avoid
microphone contamination.
•
Air blow and ultrasonic cleaning procedures shall not be applied to MEMS Microphones. A no-clean paste
is recommended for the assembly to avoid subsequent cleaning steps. The microphone MEMS can be
severely damaged by cleaning substances.
•
To prevent the blocking or partial blocking of the sound port during PCB assembly, it is recommended to
cover the sound port with protective tape during PCB sawing or system assembly.
•
Do not use excessive force to place the microphone on the PCB. The use of industry standard pick and place
tools is recommended in order to limit the mechanical force exerted on the package.
