Product details
Overview
MP23ABS1TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance MEMS audio sensor with single-ended analog bottom-port output, designed for compact, ultra-low-power voice capture in space-constrained portable devices. It delivers -38 dBV sensitivity at 94 dBSPL/1 kHz, 64 dB(A) signal-to-noise ratio, 130 dBSPL acoustic overload point, and operates from 1.52 V to 3.6 V supply. Used in active noise-canceling headsets and smart speakers for primary voice input.
For engineers reviewing the MP23ABS1TR datasheet, MP23ABS1TR pinout, MP23ABS1TR application, or MP23ABS1TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 μA max current draw, RHLGA-5L 3.5 × 2.65 × 0.98 mm package, -40 °C to +85 °C operating range, and flat frequency response from 35 Hz to 15 kHz.
Technical Context
The MP23ABS1TR integrates a silicon micromachined capacitive sensing element with an on-chip ASIC interface, enabling analog output without external biasing circuitry. Its design targets low-latency, high-fidelity voice acquisition under RF-rich environments, supported by 60 dB PSRR and enhanced RF immunity.
It features ultra-flat frequency response (±1 dBr from 100 Hz to 9 kHz), guaranteed mechanical robustness per IEC 60068-2-32 drop tests, and meets ECOPACK, RoHS, and "Green" compliance. The device is qualified for extended temperature operation up to +85 °C and storage up to +125 °C.

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-43434 | Digital PDM output; 65 dB SNR; 1.8 V only supply; 3.35 × 2.5 × 0.98 mm | Requires PDM-capable host processor; no analog filtering needed; higher EMI immunity in digital domain | Select when system already uses PDM interface and needs marginally higher SNR |
| TDK INMP522 | Analog output; -38 dBV sensitivity; 63 dB SNR; 3.35 × 2.5 × 0.88 mm; 180 μA typical current | Lower current efficiency and slightly reduced AOP (128 dBSPL); thinner profile may ease stacking in ultra-thin designs | Select when 0.1 mm lower height is critical and 30 μA extra current is acceptable |
Compared with ICS-43434 and INMP522, the MP23ABS1TR offers optimal balance of analog simplicity, ultra-low quiescent current, and proven RF robustness-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, battery-limited voice interfaces where analog ADC paths exist.

FAQ
What is the recommended load resistance for MP23ABS1TR?
The MP23ABS1TR specifies a minimum load resistance of 15 kΩ, as guaranteed by design. This value ensures proper DC biasing and AC coupling integrity at the output stage. Using lower resistance loads may degrade SNR and cause gain compression due to excessive current draw from the internal buffer.
Does MP23ABS1TR require external biasing components?
No external biasing components are required. The MP23ABS1TR integrates an internal bias circuit that sets the output DC level to Vdd/2, enabling direct connection to an ADC input with only a coupling capacitor. This simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance-induced sensitivity drift.
How is the MP23ABS1TR protected against electrostatic discharge?
The MP23ABS1TR is qualified to ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD-GUN), ±2 kV HBM, ±200 V MM, and ±750 V CDM. Its metal cap package and internal protection diodes provide robust immunity, but handling precautions-including grounded workstations and ESD-safe packaging-remain essential during assembly.
Can MP23ABS1TR operate at 1.52 V supply while maintaining full specifications?
Yes. All key specifications-including sensitivity, SNR, and AOP-are guaranteed across the full 1.52 V to 3.6 V supply range. At 1.52 V, current consumption remains ≤150 μA, and frequency response flatness is maintained per Table 4 in the datasheet, enabling reliable operation in energy-harvested or low-voltage systems.
