Product details
Overview
MP23AB01DMTR 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 capture for portable consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MP23AB01DMTR datasheet, MP23AB01DMTR pinout, MP23AB01DMTR application, or MP23AB01DMTR equivalent, key selection criteria include differential SNR performance, AOP headroom for loud environments, reflow-compatible packaging, and supply voltage range (2.1–3.6 V) for battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MP23AB01DMTR integrates a silicon micromachined capacitive sensing element with an on-chip interface IC, 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 support high-fidelity voice acquisition.
It operates from a single 2.1–3.6 V supply with only 250 µA typical current consumption, enabling integration into power-constrained edge devices. The device exhibits flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz 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 robust signal level into ADC without excessive gain staging |
| SNR | 64 dB(A); supports clear voice capture in moderate ambient noise (e.g., smartphone calls) |
| AOP | 130 dBSPL; withstands loud transients (e.g., speaker feedback, close-proximity shouting) without clipping |
| Supply Voltage | 2.1–3.6 V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion/Li-poly and regulated 3.3 V rails |
| Current Consumption | 250 µA typ.; extends battery life in always-on voice wake-up systems |
| Output Type | Fully differential analog; rejects EMI and ground bounce in compact PCB layouts |

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 | Accepts 2.1–3.6 V; requires local 100 nF decoupling near pin |
| 2 - OUT- | Negative differential output | Paired with OUT+; must be routed length-matched and shielded from noise sources |
| 3 - OUT+ | Positive differential output | Delivers inverted complement of OUT-; forms balanced signal pair for low-noise receiver IC |
| 4 - Ground | Analog reference and return path | Must connect to clean analog ground plane; isolated from digital ground except at single-point star node |
Key Features

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 3.3 V only supply (no 2.1 V min); 127 dBSPL AOP | Slightly lower overload margin; less suitable for high-SPL transient environments | Prefer when system uses fixed 3.3 V rail and prioritizes marginally higher SNR over AOP headroom |
| TDK INMP522 | Single-ended output, 62 dB SNR, 125 dBSPL AOP, 1.62–3.63 V supply | Lacks differential noise rejection; requires careful layout to meet SNR spec | Select only if board-level noise control is achievable and cost sensitivity outweighs SNR/AOP trade-offs |
Compared with ICS-43432 and INMP522, MP23AB01DMTR offers superior acoustic overload tolerance and true differential signaling - critical for reliable voice capture in electrically noisy, battery-varying, and high-SPL use cases.

FAQ
What is the recommended PCB layout for MP23AB01DMTR's differential outputs?
Route OUT+ and OUT- as matched-length, tightly coupled differential pair (≤ 50 µm spacing), avoid crossing noisy traces or ground splits, and place 100 nF decoupling capacitor within 2 mm of Vdd pin. Keep microphone port unobstructed and acoustically sealed per ST's AN4772 guidelines.
Does MP23AB01DMTR require external biasing or clocking?
No. MP23AB01DMTR is a self-contained analog MEMS microphone requiring only a DC supply (2.1–3.6 V) and no external clock, bias resistor, or configuration interface. It delivers continuous differential analog output without digital control lines or startup sequencing.
How does the RHLGA metal cap improve reliability versus plastic MEMS packages?
The RHLGA metal cap provides superior hermeticity against moisture and particulates, enhanced mechanical rigidity to resist solder joint fatigue, and better thermal conductivity for stable performance under thermal cycling - validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and A113 standards.
Can MP23AB01DMTR be used in waterproof or dustproof enclosures?
Yes - the RHLGA package is rated IP57-compatible when integrated with appropriate gasketed front-port sealing. ST confirms successful operation after 30-min water immersion at 1 m depth (per IEC 60529), provided acoustic port design maintains pressure equalization and avoids membrane deformation.
