PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) LAND PATTERN LAYOUT
A suggested solder paste stencil pattern layout is shown in
Figure 5. The diameter of the sound hole in the PCB should be
larger than the diameter of the sound port of the microphone.
A minimum diameter of 0.5 mm is recommended.
The recommended PCB land pattern for the ADMP401 should
have a 1:1 ratio to the solder pads on the microphone package,
as shown in Figure 4. Care should be taken to avoid applying
solder paste to the sound hole in the PCB.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The ADMP401 output can be connected to a dedicated codec
microphone input (see Figure 9) or to a high input impedance
gain stage (see Figure 10). A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed
close to the ADMP401 supply pin is used for testing and is
recommended to adequately decouple the microphone from
noise on the power supply. A dc-blocking capacitor is required
at the output of the microphone.

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
PICK-AND-PLACE EQUIPMENT
REFLOW SOLDER
The MEMS microphone can be handled using standard pickand-place and chip shooting equipment. Care should be taken
to avoid damage to the MEMS microphone structure as follows:
For best results, the soldering profile should be in accordance
with the recommendations of the manufacturer of the solder
paste that is used to attach the MEMS microphone to the PCB.
It is recommended that the solder reflow profile not exceed the
limit conditions specified in Figure 2 and Table 3.
•
•
•
•
Use a standard pickup tool to handle the microphone.
Because the microphone hole is on the bottom of the
package, the pickup tool can make contact with any part
of the lid surface.
Use care during pick-and-place to ensure that no high
shock events above 20 kg are experienced, because such
events may cause damage to the microphone.
Do not pick up the microphone with a vacuum tool that
makes contact with the bottom side of the microphone.
Do not pull air out or blow air into the microphone port.
Do not use excessive force to place the microphone on
the PCB.
BOARD WASH
When washing the PCB, ensure that water does not make
contact with the microphone port. Blow-off procedures and
ultrasonic cleaning must not be used.
