Product details
Overview
MP23AB01DM from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance MEMS audio sensor with fully differential analog bottom-port output, -38 dBV ±3 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz, 64 dB(A) signal-to-noise ratio, 130 dBSPL acoustic overload point, and operation from -40 °C to +85 °C in a 3.35 × 2.5 × 0.98 mm RHLGA metal cap package - used in voice-controlled smart speakers and portable voice-recognition devices.
For engineers reviewing the MP23AB01DM datasheet, MP23AB01DM pinout, MP23AB01DM application, or MP23AB01DM equivalent, key selection criteria include differential SNR performance, reflow-compatible packaging, RF immunity, AOP headroom for loud environments, and compatibility with low-voltage (2.1–3.6 V) biasing circuits.
Technical Context
The MP23AB01DM integrates a silicon micromachined capacitive transducer with an on-chip ASIC interface, delivering fully differential analog output to suppress common-mode noise in noisy PCB environments. Its A-weighted SNR of 64 dB and THD+N < 0.5% at 94 dBSPL enable high-fidelity far-field voice capture.
It operates from a single 2.1–3.6 V supply with only 250 µA quiescent current, features 400 Ω output impedance, supports 300 pF load capacitance and 10 kΩ load resistance, and maintains stable performance across its full -40 °C to +85 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity | -38 dBV ±3 dB @ 1 kHz (0 dB = 1 V/Pa); enables consistent voltage-level audio signal scaling into ADC front-ends |
| SNR | 64 dB(A); provides clean voice capture in ambient noise up to ~55 dB(A) |
| AOP | 130 dBSPL; withstands loud transient sounds (e.g., claps, alarms) without clipping |
| Supply Voltage | 2.1–3.6 V; compatible with standard Li-ion and 3.3 V system rails |
| Current Consumption | 250 µA typical; supports always-on voice wake-up in battery-powered devices |
| Output Type | Fully differential analog; rejects EMI and PCB-coupled noise better than single-ended mics |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial and automotive cabin voice interfaces |
Pinout & Package
RHLGA metal cap 4-lead package, dimensions 3.35 × 2.5 × 0.98 mm, reflow-solder compatible, ECOPACK® compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vdd | Positive supply input | Bias rail for internal ASIC; requires local 100 nF decoupling near pin |
| 2 - OUT- | Negative differential output | Complementary signal path; must be routed with matched length/impedance to OUT+ |
| 3 - OUT+ | Positive differential output | Main signal path; connects to differential-input amplifier or ADC driver stage |
| 4 - Ground | Analog ground reference | Return path for transducer and ASIC; must connect to low-impedance AGND plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Omnidirectional acoustic response | Uniform 360° pickup pattern enables flexible PCB placement without directional alignment |
| High RF immunity | Robust operation in cellular/Wi-Fi-rich environments without external shielding |
| Reflow-compatible RHLGA package | Enables automated SMT assembly without special thermal profiles beyond JEDEC J-STD-020 |
| Low THD+N at high SPL | < 0.5% at 94 dBSPL ensures minimal harmonic distortion in voice-band signals |
| Extended temperature range | Validated operation from -40 °C to +85 °C supports deployment in uncontrolled environments |

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 | Differential output, 65 dB SNR, but 3.5 mm × 2.65 mm × 0.98 mm package; slightly higher sensitivity (-37 dBV) | Same bottom-port layout; requires identical PCB footprint adjustment | Preferred where marginally higher SNR justifies minor board revision |
| TDK INMP522 | Single-ended output, 62 dB SNR, 3.35 mm × 2.5 mm × 0.88 mm; lower profile but no differential noise rejection | Not suitable for EMI-heavy environments without added filtering | Select only when cost or height constraints outweigh SNR/noise-rejection requirements |
Compared with ICS-43432 and INMP522, the MP23AB01DM uniquely balances differential noise immunity, industry-leading 130 dBSPL AOP, and strict reflow-compliant packaging - making it optimal for rugged, high-SNR voice interfaces where PCB-level EMI cannot be fully controlled.

FAQ
What is the recommended PCB layout for MP23AB01DM's differential outputs?
Route OUT+ and OUT- as tightly coupled, equal-length microstrip traces with controlled 100 Ω differential impedance. Place decoupling capacitor (100 nF X7R) within 2 mm of Vdd pin, and isolate microphone cavity from PCB vias or copper under the port opening using solder mask-defined aperture.
Does MP23AB01DM require external biasing components?
No external biasing components are required. The device integrates all necessary bias circuitry and operates directly from a single 2.1–3.6 V supply. Only a local 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor on Vdd is mandatory per the datasheet layout guidelines.
Can MP23AB01DM be used in waterproof or dustproof enclosures?
Yes - its bottom-port architecture allows integration behind gaskets or membranes. The RHLGA metal cap provides mechanical protection, and the specified IP57-rated external enclosure (not the mic itself) ensures environmental sealing while maintaining acoustic coupling through properly tuned vent paths.
How does MP23AB01DM's THD+N performance scale with input SPL?
THD+N remains below 0.5% up to 94 dBSPL, rises to <4% at 120 dBSPL, and stays under 10% at maximum rated 130 dBSPL - enabling accurate voice capture even during sharp transients like door slams or keyboard typing without digital clipping compensation.
