WM7216E
Low Power Top Port Digital Silicon Microphone
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The WM7216 is a low-profile digital silicon microphone,
optimised for use with low-power ‘Always-on’ voice control
applications, such as Cirrus Logic® SoundClear™
software.
High SNR (63dB)
Low variation in sensitivity (±1dB tolerance)
Low current consumption

10μA (Sleep)
The WM7216 supports two operational modes, selected
according to the applied clock frequency. ‘Voice’ mode
provides low current consumption, and sufficient SNR
performance for speech recognition algorithms. ‘Hi-Fi
Record’ mode offers wide dynamic range, and class-
leading THD performance. Operation in the ultrasonic
band is also supported at high clock frequencies.
290μA (Voice mode)
980μA (Hi-Fi Record mode)
PDM digital audio output
Stereo/array operation
Proprietary ADC technology

Reduced clock-jitter sensitivity
Low noise floor
The WM7216 incorporates Cirrus Logic proprietary
CMOS/MEMS membrane technology, offering high
reliability and high performance in a miniature, low-profile
package. The WM7216 is designed to withstand the high
temperatures associated with automated flow solder
assembly processes. (Note that conventional microphones
can be damaged by this process.)
Stable in overload condition
Top Port LGA Package
1.62V to 2.0V supply
APPLICATIONS
The WM7216 incorporates
a high-performance ADC,
which outputs a single-bit data stream using Pulse Density
Modulation (PDM) encoding. The WM7216 supports
selectable left/right channel assignment for a two-channel
digital microphone interface, enabling efficient connection
of multiple microphones in stereo/array configurations.
Mobile telephone handsets
Wearable devices
Portable media players
Digital cameras
Tablets and laptop computers
The WM7216 offers tight tolerance on the microphone
sensitivity, giving reduced variation between parts. This
removes the need for in-line production calibration of part-
to-part microphone variations.
