Product details
Overview
MP23AB01DHTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance MEMS audio sensor with fully differential analog bottom-port output, -38 dBV sensitivity (±1 dB), 65 dB(A) signal-to-noise ratio, and 135 dBSPL acoustic overload point, deployed in voice-controlled IoT endpoints and compact consumer audio interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MP23AB01DHTR datasheet, MP23AB01DHTR pinout, MP23AB01DHTR application, or MP23AB01DHTR equivalent, key selection criteria include differential SNR performance, reflow-compatible RHLGA package, extended -40 °C to +85 °C operation, and ESD robustness per IEC61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact discharge.
Technical Context
The MP23AB01DHTR integrates a silicon micromachined capacitive sensing element with an on-chip interface IC optimized for low-noise analog signal conditioning. Its fully differential output architecture rejects common-mode interference from PCB routing and switching supplies.
It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V with only 250 µA typical supply current, supports A-weighted 20 Hz–20 kHz bandwidth, and maintains <0.2% THD+N at 94 dBSPL - enabling high-fidelity far-field voice capture without external amplification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity | -38 dBV ±1 dB @ 1 kHz - enables direct connection to low-noise ADCs with minimal gain staging |
| SNR | 65 dB(A) - supports voice activity detection and keyword spotting in ambient noise |
| AOP | 135 dBSPL - withstands loud transients (e.g., speaker feedback, clapping) without clipping |
| Supply voltage | 2.3–3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion and 3.3 V system rails |
| Current consumption | 250 µA typ. - extends battery life in always-on wake-word detection systems |
| Output type | Fully differential analog - reduces EMI susceptibility and improves PSR to -100 dB |
| Operating temp. | -40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial edge device deployment |
Pinout & Package
The MP23AB01DHTR uses a 4-lead RHLGA (Reduced Height Land Grid Array) metal cap package measuring 3.35 × 2.5 × 0.98 mm, compliant with standard reflow soldering profiles (peak 260 °C, 20–40 sec within 5 °C of peak).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vdd | Single positive supply input; requires local 100 nF ceramic bypass capacitor |
| 2 | Output– | Negative differential output; must be routed symmetrically with Output+ to preserve CMRR |
| 3 | Output+ | Positive differential output; pair forms low-impedance 400 Ω source for balanced receiver input |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; connects directly to solid ground plane under sensor footprint |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Omnidirectional acoustic response | Uniform 360° pickup pattern enables flexible PCB placement in sealed enclosures |
| High RF immunity | Robust against GSM/Bluetooth interference due to differential topology and internal shielding |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with lead-free terminations and green molding compound |
| ESD protection | ±8 kV contact discharge (IEC61000-4-2) - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in most designs |
| Low distortion | <0.2% THD+N at 94 dBSPL - preserves speech intelligibility for ASR engines without post-processing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar MEMS microphone applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INVENSENSE ICS-43432 | Digital PDM output; 65 dB SNR; 3.3 V supply; 2.75 × 1.85 × 0.9 mm package | Requires PDM-to-I²S conversion logic; no analog filtering needed | Select when digital interface and lower height are prioritized over analog flexibility |
| TDK INMP522 | Analog output; 62 dB SNR; -38 dBV sensitivity; 3.35 × 2.5 × 0.98 mm package; 120 dBSPL AOP | Lower overload point limits dynamic range in high-SPL environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 135 dBSPL headroom |
Compared with ICS-43432 and INMP522, MP23AB01DHTR delivers superior acoustic overload margin and identical footprint compatibility while retaining analog output flexibility - critical for legacy ADC interfaces and custom analog front-end tuning.

FAQ
What is the recommended external circuitry for MP23AB01DHTR?
A 100 nF ceramic capacitor must be placed between Vdd and GND close to Pin 1, and a 1 µF bulk capacitor is recommended on the supply rail. No external load resistors or coupling capacitors are required - the differential outputs drive 30 kΩ loads directly with 400 Ω source impedance.
Does MP23AB01DHTR require bias voltage or clock signal?
No. MP23AB01DHTR is a self-contained analog microphone requiring only a DC supply (2.3–3.6 V) on Pin 1. It contains integrated oscillator and signal conditioning circuitry - no external clock, bias resistor, or configuration pins are needed.
How does the RHLGA package differ from standard LGA or QFN?
The RHLGA (Reduced Height Land Grid Array) uses a metal cap with exposed top surface and four perimeter lands - not bottom thermal pad. Its 0.98 mm height and metal lid provide superior acoustic sealing and mechanical stability versus plastic QFN, while maintaining full reflow compatibility.
Can MP23AB01DHTR be used in waterproof or dustproof enclosures?
Yes - its bottom-port design allows acoustic access through a sealed membrane or laser-drilled vent hole in the PCB. The metal cap and hermetic die attach enable IP57-rated enclosure integration when paired with appropriate gasketing and acoustic damping materials.
