Product details
Overview
MP33AB01TR from STMicroelectronics is a bottom-port MEMS silicon microphone with analog output, designed for compact audio capture in space-constrained applications. It features omnidirectional sensitivity, 63 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), 100 Hz–10 kHz frequency response, and operates from 1.5 V to 3.6 V supply at 0.25 mA typical current consumption. Used in voice-enabled IoT devices, wearables, and smart speakers requiring high-fidelity near-field acoustic sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MP33AB01TR datasheet, MP33AB01TR pinout, MP33AB01TR application, or MP33AB01TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its -41 dBV ±3 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz, 125 dBSPL acoustic overload point, extended -30 °C to +100 °C operating temperature range, and RHLGA 3.76 × 2.95 × 1.0 mm reflow-compatible package.
Technical Context
The MP33AB01TR integrates a silicon micromachined sensing element with on-chip ASIC for analog signal conditioning. Its electrical interface uses a single-ended analog output referenced to Vdd, with internal biasing eliminating external DC-blocking requirements at the sensor side - though an external DC-blocking capacitor (C1 > 1 µF) remains recommended at the output stage.
It delivers flat frequency response from 100 Hz to 10 kHz (±3 dB), supports low-distortion operation (<1% THD at 94 dBSPL), and maintains stable performance across industrial temperature extremes. The device is ESD-sensitive (HBM Class 2) and mechanically shock-sensitive, requiring handling per ST's ECOPACK® and JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant soldering guidelines.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 1.5 V to 3.6 V - compatible with common Li-ion, coin-cell, and 3.3 V logic rails without regulation |
| Current consumption | 0.25 mA typ. at 2.2 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on voice wake-up systems |
| Sensitivity | -38 dBV typ. at 1 kHz (0 dB = 1 V/Pa) - provides robust signal level into standard audio ADC inputs |
| Signal-to-noise ratio | 63 dB - ensures clear voice capture in noisy ambient environments (e.g., portable speakers) |
| Frequency response | 100 Hz to 10 kHz (±3 dB) - covers full human speech band and supports wideband VoIP codecs |

Pinout & Package
The MP33AB01TR is housed in a 6-pin RHLGA (Rounded Hybrid Land Grid Array) package measuring 3.76 × 2.95 × 1.0 mm, optimized for bottom-port acoustic coupling and automated reflow assembly. The package complies with RoHS, "Green" standards, and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output | Analog output node - single-ended AC-coupled signal referenced to Vdd; requires external DC-blocking capacitor |
| 2, 3, 5, 6 | GND | Four dedicated ground terminals - reduce impedance path for RF/EMI rejection and improve SNR stability |
| 4 | Vdd | Power supply input - internally regulated; accepts 1.5–3.6 V with minimal external filtering needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Omnidirectional acoustic response | Enables consistent pickup regardless of sound incidence angle - critical for hands-free voice UI in rotating or pocketed devices |
| High SNR (63 dB) | Reduces need for post-processing gain, lowering system noise floor and preserving dynamic range in low-power audio front-ends |
| Extended temperature range (-30 °C to +100 °C) | Supports deployment in automotive cabins, outdoor sensors, and industrial HMIs without thermal derating |
| Bottom-port configuration | Allows PCB-mount integration beneath apertures - simplifies mechanical design and improves dust/moisture sealing |

FAQ
What is the recommended external DC-blocking capacitor value for MP33AB01TR?
A minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended on the Output pin (Pin 1), paired with an input resistance ≥20 kΩ at the downstream amplifier or ADC to achieve a cutoff frequency below 20 Hz. This prevents DC offset accumulation and preserves low-frequency speech content without affecting voice intelligibility.
Does MP33AB01TR require an external bias resistor or voltage reference?
No. The MP33AB01TR integrates an internal bias circuit and operates with a single supply (1.5–3.6 V) applied to Pin 4 (Vdd). No external bias resistor, reference voltage, or active amplification is required before the output stage - only passive DC-blocking and optional RF filtering.
Can MP33AB01TR be used in waterproof or dustproof enclosures?
Yes - its bottom-port architecture allows mounting behind sealed membranes or gaskets, provided the acoustic port remains unobstructed and aligned with the enclosure aperture. ST specifies no IP rating, but mechanical integration per IEC 60529 IP54+ designs has been validated in customer applications.
How does MP33AB01TR compare to electret condenser microphones (ECMs) in terms of reliability?
Unlike ECMs, the MP33AB01TR uses monolithic silicon MEMS construction with no organic materials or glued diaphragms, eliminating humidity-induced drift, aging effects, and solder-heat degradation. It maintains stable sensitivity and SNR over 10+ years under industrial thermal cycling and vibration stress.
