I2S Output MEMS Microphone Flex Evaluation Board
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EVALUATION BOARD CIRCUIT
This user guide applies to the following MEMS microphone
evaluation boards:
Figure 1 show the schematics of the evaluation board, and
Figure 2 shows the board layout. See the microphone data
sheets for complete descriptions and specifications.
EV_ICS‐43434‐FX
This is a simple board that allows quick evaluation of the
performance of the ICS‐43434 MEMS microphone. The small
size and low profile of the flexible PCB enables direct
placement of the microphone into a prototype or an existing
design for an in situ evaluation. The board consists of an I2S‐
output microphone soldered to a flexible PCB. The only other
component on the board is a 0.1 μF supply bypass capacitor.

The flex PCB design mates to a 6‐position ZIF connector with
0.5 mm pin spacing, such as the Molex 0527450697
connector. The flex PCB mates to the connector by first
pulling out the connector’s clamp, inserting the flex PCB, and
then pushing the clamp closed. Wires can be soldered directly
to this connector’s pins or it can be mounted directly on a
rigid PCB for evaluation. We recommend to use 28 AWG or
smaller wire for soldering to this connector’s pins. The PCB
thickness at the pin edge is 0.3 mm.
