Chapter 1
Overview
The eight-channel DMIC plug-in board (8CH-DMIC) provides a single, a double, a triple, a quad, a hexagonal, a hexagonal
(with center mic), and an octal digital microphone (DMIC) solution. The plug-in board can be used with selected EVKs, such as
MIMXRT685-EVK, MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK, and MIMXRT595-EVK (I2C LED control may not be supported on all boards).
This document provides the detail about the 11 DMICs and their configurations, jumpers, LEDs, switches, and other interfaces
available on the board.
Example programs for use of the 8CH-DMIC board can be found in the MCUXpresso SDK software for the EVK being used (see
https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com or download the SDK directly from within MCUXpresso IDE).

Chapter 2
Functional Description
This chapter describes the features and different interfaces of 8-CH DMIC board.
2.1 Power supply
This section describes the power supply on 8-CH DMIC board.
2.1.1 Main power supply
The 8-CH DMIC board can accept from 1.8 V up to 3.6 V for operation from the main board through J1 interface connector.
2.1.2 Secondary power supply
The MCP1256T device (U35) generates a 3.3 V output voltage from 1.8V input supply. The 3.3 V power supply is used for:
• Onboard LEDs [D1:D7]
• SX1502I087TRT GPIO expander used for LEDs
2.2 DMIC interface
A total of 11 DMICs are available on the DMIC board, however, at most, eight DMICs are in use simultaneously.
The below figure describes the different DMICs placement on the board.

NOTE
When using the 8CH-DMIC board with the i.MX RT600 EVK (MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK) board, the codec device
on the MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK board must have the MCLK clock frequency reduced to 4.096 MHz and the Input
Sample Rate (LRCK) must be reduced to 16 kHz. This change in clock frequency and LRCK maintains compliance
of the MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK board with mandatory FCC and EU EMC limitations. Failure to do so will cause the
MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK board to exceed FCC and EU EMC limits. It is the responsibility of the end user to comply
with this requirement. The end user assumes all responsibility for not complying with this requirement.
