Users Manual KAS-33100-003 “Walleye” Microphone Evaluation Kit KAS-33100-003 Kit Description The KAS-33100-003 Walleye microphone evaluation kit allows for simple and easy evaluation of SiSonic™ MEMS microphones. This evaluation system can be used to evaluate up to 2 channels of audio for multiple MEMS microphone types. Microphone types include single ended and differential Analog MEMS microphones, Digital PDM MEMS microphones, and Digital I2S MEMS microphones. Walleye Evaluation Board The intended use is for the evaluation and testing of the Knowles Electronics’ line of MEMS microphones. The board is designed to support R&D activities, and is not intended for qualification or production test use. The Walleye board provides the interface circuitry for 1 or 2 analog, 1 or 2 digital PDM, or 1 or 2 I2S digital microphones. Note: The Walleye board can pass mono or stereo audio of the same microphone types (i.e. 2 digital PDM mics). The Walleye board cannot pass audio of mixed types simultaneously.

This will be indicated through the CHRG LED. When charging is complete the FULL LED will light. Battery charging is limited to 100mA of current from the connected PC. A full battery charge cycle can take up to 8 hours. A full battery should have enough power to allow operation for approximately 6-8 hours. The battery can be purchased from Batteryspace.com Part# 043144 / IPOD-3G37V500. Additionally, a 330 ohm 0603 resistor should be placed at R12 and R13. The battery can be attached to the back of the PCB using 2 sided tape. 3. Mini USB Connector Main power input.

MIC Current Jacks Banana jack compatible, for measuring current using an external current meter. Note: remove jumper labeled Bypass to enable. 12. Mic VDD Voltage Level Selector Select VDD voltage for microphones. Slide switch has 4 positions, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and an external setting. The external setting allows for an external voltage source to be connected to the External VDD BNC. 13. External VDD BNC Input External VDD voltage source connection through a BNC cable. (BNC center pin is VDD, shell is ground). Note: MIC VDD Selector switch needs to be set to EXT V. 14. PC Audio Controls When the audio is routed through the USB connector to a PC these buttons can adjust the PC volume up or down. The Mute button will mute the PC audio. 15. De-Emphasis Jumper The CODEC includes on-chip digital de-emphasis optimized for a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. The de-emphasis feature is included to accommodate audio recordings that utilize 50/15 µs pre-emphasis equalization as a means of noise reduction. If jumper is installed de-emphasis is disabled. 16. BCLK Jumper Used to select internal clock rate for digital microphones. When the BCLK jumper is installed the codec will output a 6.144MHz BCLK (Mic CLK signal) clock along with a 96KHz LRCK (Mic WS signal) clock. When the BCLK jumper is NOT installed the codec will output a 3.072MHz BCLKclock along with a 48KHz LRCK clock. Note: When Walleye board is used for analog microphone evaluation the BCLK jumper should not be installed. 5 KAS-33100-003 Flex Adapter Setup KCA2733-D assembly is comprised of one KCB2734-D, one 0.1µF 10% capacitor, and one AVX Corp 8 position connector.

The USB controller uses standard Windows USB audio drivers. To verify the USB audio path is functioning connect USB cable from Walleye board to PC. Slide Walleye board power switch to On. From the PC, open Control Panel –› Hardware and Sound –› Sound. Click on the Recording tab and verify the USB AUDIO CODEC appears. The bar graph on the right will indicate audio detection.

The codec communicates to the digital mics thru an I2S bus. The Walleye board is equipped with the ability to use an internal or external clock signal input to the codec. The codec allows for infinite sample rate adjustment between 4 kHz and 96 kHz. Option 1 using an Internal Clock The Walleye board has a 12.288MHz crystal that provides an input clock to the MCLK pin of the codec. When the BCLK jumper is installed the codec will output a 6.144MHz BCLK (Mic CLK signal) clock along with a 96KHz LRCK (Mic WS signal) clock. When the BCLK jumper is NOT installed the codec will output a 3.072MHz BCLK clock along with a 48KHz LRCK clock. For I2S digital microphones these clocks are then level shifted to Mic VDD levels (based on the MIC VDD Select switch). For PDM digital microphones these clocks are converted from the I2S output of the codec to PDM format. The clocks are then level shifted to Mic VDD levels (based on the MIC VDD Select switch). Option 2 using an External Clock By installing the EXTERNAL CLOCK ENABLE jumper an external clock can be input into the Walleye board thru the EXTERNAL CLOCK BNC type connector. 8 The input clock signal shall be comprised of the following: 0V to +2.5Vpp 50% duty cycle square wave. Input clock frequency range 512KHz to 12.288Mhz (with BCLK jumper removed). Note: The BCLK DIV/2 jumper is applicable only to digital microphones. If testing analog microphones BCLK DIV/2 jumper should be removed. External VDD Connection The Walleye board can accept an external VDD source. Setting the MIC VDD Select switch to EXT V+ will enable the path. The connection is made thru the EXTERNAL VDD BNC type connector. The BNC center pin is the positive conductor and the shell is the ground conductor. The input voltage range is 1.65V to 4V at 200mA. Note: Refer to microphone data sheet for maximum allowed Supplied Voltage (VDD). The Walleye board has an over voltage protection circuit which will activate at ~4.3V. The external VDD input also has reverse battery protection. If either of these faults are detected the fault voltage is isolated from the rest of the board and the microphone under test. Either fault will also light the fault detection led. Note: If the Walleye board has the optional battery attached, the battery does not charge using External VDD voltage. Battery charging is accomplished only thru USB voltage. Walleye Microphone Evaluation Kit Taking Measurements Fig 7 +MICVDD SIDE CURRENT TO MICROPHONES 1 3 REMOVE BYPASS JUMPER 2 +VSPPLY SIDE CURRENT FROM POWER SUPPLIES Measuring Microphone Current 1. Microphone current can be measured across the MIC CURRENT terminals. 2. Attach current measuring equipment across the Mic Current terminals. The terminal located closest to the top of the board is microphone under test side (+MICVDD). The terminal below that is the source side. 3. Remove the BYPASS jumper to enable. Note: The +MICVDD signal is bussed across all Walleye board microphone connectors. The current measured will be a total of all microphones connected. www.knowles.com 9 KAS-33100-003 Taking Measurements (cont’d) INSERT MIC INTO SOCKET WITH PROPER ORIENTATION Fig 8 4 SELECT SINGLE OR DIFFERENTIAL SET MIC TYPE SELECTOR TO ANA REMOVE EXTERNAL 4 CLOCK ENABLE JUMPER IF USING WALLEYE BOARD’S INTERNAL CLOCK MIC TYPE 3 2 5 VERIFY BYPASS JUMPER 7 6 INSTALLED IF MIC CURRENT JACKS ARE NOT TO BE USED 2 SELECT VDD VOLTAGE 1 CHOOSE DESIRED AUDIO ROUTING 7 8 SET OFF/ON SWITCH TO ON Analog Mics The Walleye board can operate one or two analog microphones.

The USB input will clip sooner than the CODEC output when the supplies are at typical values(CODEC out = 2.05Vpp, USB input =1.98Vpp). At worst case when the Codec supply is high and the USB input is low then the difference is CODEC out =2.15Vpp, USB in= 1.86Vpp. If AOP comparisons are to be made, use the analog output which will be 2.15Vppmax and normal line inputs on a PC are 2.8Vpp (1Vrms). www.knowles.com 13
