Zest_Sensor_Audio-PDM
Overview
The Zest_Sensor_Audio-PDM board is a development board for 6TRON platform based on two ICS-41350 PDM MEMS microphones from TDK InvenSense.
The ICS‐41350 is a low‐power, low‐noise digital MEMS microphone. It consists of a MEMS microphone element and an impedance converter amplifier followed by a fourth‐order ΣΔ modulator. The pulse density modulated (PDM) interface allows two microphones to be time multiplexed on a data line using a single clock.
The ICS‑41350 has low power and high SNR in all operational modes. It has 126 dB SPL AOP in High Performance mode, and 120 dB SPL AOP in Standard and Low‐Power modes.
The Zest_Sensor_Audio-PDM can be used for audio acquisition in multiple application, like AI, predictive maintenance, sound level measurements, etc... with additional beam-forming capacity for SNR enhancement (Only on double connector Zest Core).
