Product details
Overview
STEVAL-STWINMA2 from STMicroelectronics is an analog microphone array expansion board for the SensorTile Wireless Industrial Node (STWIN) platform, integrating four IMP23ABSU MEMS microphones, an ADAU1978 quad audio ADC, and LDK130 LDO to enable ultrasound-grade vibration monitoring up to 80 kHz with 192 kHz sampling. It connects via a dedicated 12-pin interface to STEVAL-STWINKT1B/STWINKT1 core boards for predictive maintenance in industrial IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-STWINMA2 datasheet, STEVAL-STWINMA2 pinout, STEVAL-STWINMA2 application, or STEVAL-STWINMA2 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 80 kHz analog bandwidth, SAI digital output interface, 3–5.5 V supply range, and integration with X-CUBE-MEMSMIC1 software for UltrasoundFFT and USB audio streaming.
Technical Context
The board implements a high-fidelity analog front-end: four bottom-port IMP23ABSU microphones (SNR = 64 dB, sensitivity = –38 dBV/Pa) feed into the ADAU1978 quad-channel sigma-delta ADC, which supports 24-bit resolution, programmable gain, and hardware-based decimation filtering. The LDK130M-R LDO delivers ultra-low-noise 3.3 V power (4 µV RMS noise, 300 mA output) to analog and digital domains.
Audio data is serialized via SAI (SAI_MCLK, SAI_SD, SAI_FS, SAI_SCK) to the host STM32 MCU; no I²C configuration is required for basic operation, as default register settings enable immediate 192 kHz stereo-pair streaming. The board's 4 mm square microphone layout enables coherent beamforming and spatial aliasing suppression up to 40 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Microphone Count & Type | Four IMP23ABSU single-ended analog MEMS microphones, bottom-port, differential-capable layout |
| Analog Bandwidth | DC to 80 kHz - enables ultrasound condition monitoring for bearing fault detection |
| Sampling Rate | 192 kHz default - supports Nyquist-limited analysis of signals up to 96 kHz |
| ADC Resolution | 24-bit sigma-delta (ADAU1978) - provides >110 dB dynamic range for low-amplitude vibration signatures |
| Power Supply Range | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - compatible with STWIN battery (3.7 V Li-ion) and USB-powered operation |
| LDO Output Noise | 4 µV RMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - preserves microphone SNR by minimizing analog supply-induced distortion |
| Digital Interface | SAI (I²S/PCM mode) - direct connection to STM32 SAI peripheral without level-shifting or protocol translation |

FAQ
Is STEVAL-STWINMA2 compatible with STEVAL-STWINKT1 (non-B version)?
Yes - the board is explicitly designed for both STEVAL-STWINKT1 and STEVAL-STWINKT1B core boards. Pin compatibility and firmware support (X-CUBE-MEMSMIC1 v1.1.0+) are validated across both variants, including identical 12-pin connector mapping and SAI signal routing.
What software examples are included for ultrasound analysis?
The X-CUBE-MEMSMIC1 package provides two validated examples: "UltrasoundFFT" computes real-time FFT on microphone data and streams magnitude spectra via USB to a PC GUI; "USB_Audio_Streaming" delivers raw 192 kHz PCM over USB Audio Class 2.0, enabling offline spectral analysis.
Does STEVAL-STWINMA2 require external clocking or configuration?
No - the ADAU1978 ADC operates from the host STM32's SAI_MCLK (default 12.288 MHz), and factory-default register settings enable immediate 192 kHz operation. No I²C initialization is needed unless custom gain, filter, or format changes are required.
Can the microphone array be used for beamforming or direction-of-arrival estimation?
Yes - the 4 mm square geometry and synchronized 192 kHz sampling across all four channels provide coherent time-domain data suitable for delay-and-sum beamforming and DOA algorithms. ST provides reference MATLAB scripts in X-CUBE-MEMSMIC1 for spatial spectrum analysis.
