Amplifiers for 3-Wire Analog Electret Microphones
General Description
The LMV1032s are an audio amplifier series for small form
factor electret microphones. They are designed to replace
the JFET preamp currently being used. The LMV1032 series
is ideal for extended battery life applications, such as a
Bluetooth communication link. The addition of a third pin to
an electret microphones that incorporates an LMV1032 al-
lows for a dramatic reduction in supply current as compared
to the JFET equipped electret microphone. Microphone sup-
ply current is thus reduced to 60 µA, assuring longer battery
life. The LMV1032 series is guaranteed for supply voltages
from 1.7V to 5V, and has fixed voltage gains of 6 dB, 15 dB
and 25 dB.
The LMV1032 series offers low output impedance over the
voice bandwidth, excellent power supply rejection (PSRR),
and stability over temperature.
The devices are offered in space saving 4-bump ultra thin
micro SMD (TM) lead free packages and are thus ideally
suited for the form factor of miniature electret microphone
packages. These extremely miniature packages have the
Large Dome Bump (LDB) technology. This micro SMD tech-
nology is designed for microphone PCBs requiring 1 kg
adhesion criteria.

Application Section
LOW CURRENT
The LMV1032 has a low supply current which allows for a
longer battery life. The low supply current of 60µA makes this
amplifier optimal for microphone applications which need to
be always on.
BUILT-IN GAIN
The LMV1032 is offered in the space saving small micro
SMD package which fits perfectly into the metal can of a
microphone. This allows the LMV1032 to be placed on the
PCB inside the microphone.
The bottom side of the PCB has the pins that connect the
supply voltage to the amplifier and make the output avail-
able. The input of the amplifier is connected to the micro-
phone via the PCB.
A-WEIGHTED FILTER
The human ear has a frequency range from 20 Hz to about
20 kHz. Within this range the sensitivity of the human ear is
not equal for each frequency. To approach the hearing re-
sponse weighting filters are introduced. One of those filters
is the A-weighted filter.
The A-weighted filter is usually used in signal-to-noise ratio
measurements, where sound is compared to device noise. It
improves the correlation of the measured data to the signal-
to-noise ratio perceived by the human ear.
MEASURING NOISE AND SNR
The overall noise of the LMV1032 is measured within the
frequency band from 10 Hz to 22 kHz using an A-weighted
filter. The input of the LMV1032 is connected to ground with
a 5 pF capacitor.
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is measured witha1kHz
input signal of 18 mV
PP
using an A-weighted filter. This
represents a sound pressure level of 94 dB SPL. No input
capacitor is connected.
SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL
The volume of sound applied to a microphone is usually
stated as the pressure level with respect to the threshold of
hearing of the human ear. The sound pressure level (SPL) in
decibels is defined by:
Sound pressure level (dB) = 20 log P
m
/P
O
Where,
P
m
is the measured sound pressure
P
O
is the threshold of hearing (20µPa)
In order to be able to calculate the resulting output voltage of
the microphone for a given SPL, the sound pressure in dB
SPL needs to be converted to the absolute sound pressure
in dBPa. This is the sound pressure level in decibels which is
referred to as 1 Pascal (Pa).

Application Section (Continued)
The conversion is given by:
dBPa = dB SPL + 20*log 20 µPa
dBPa=dBSPL-94dB
Translation from absolute sound pressure level to a voltage
is specified by the sensitivity of the microphone. A conven-
tional microphone has a sensitivity of −44 dBV/Pa.
Example: Busy traffic is 70 dB SPL
V
OUT
= 70 −94 −44 = −68 dBV
This is equivalent to 1.13 mV
PP
Since the LMV1032-15 has a gain of 5.6 (15 dB) over the
JFET, the output voltage of the microphone is 6.35 mV
PP
.By
replacing the JFET with the LMV1032-15, the sensitivity of
the microphone is −29 dBV/Pa (−44 + 15).
LOW FREQUENCY CUT OFF FILTER
To reduce noise on the output of the microphone a low cut
filter has been implemented in the LMV1032. This filter
reduces the effect of wind and handling noise.
It’s also helpful to reduce the proximity effect in directional
microphones. This effect occurs when the sound source is
very close to the microphone. The lower frequencies are
amplified which gives a bass sound. This amplification can
cause an overload, which results in a distortion of the signal.
The LMV1032 is optimized to be used in audio band appli-
cations. The LMV1032 provides a flat gain response within
the audio band and offers linearity and excellent temperature
stability.
ADVANTAGE OF THREE PINS
The LMV1032 ECM solution has three pins instead of the
two pins provided in the case of a JFET solution. The third
pin provides the advantage of a low supply current, high
PSRR and eliminates the need for additional components.
Noise pick-up by a microphone in a cell phone is a well-
known problem. A conventional JFET circuit is sensitive for
noise pick-up because of its high output impedance. The
output impedance is usually around 2.2 k. By providing
separate output and supply pins a much lower output imped-
ance is achieved and therefore is less sensitive to noise
pick-up.
RF noise is among other caused by non-linear behavior. The
non-linear behavior of the amplifier at high frequencies, well
above the usable bandwidth of the device, causes AM de-
modulation of high frequency signals. The AM modulation
contained in such signals folds back into the audio band,
thereby disturbing the intended microphone signal. The
GSM signal of a cell phone is such an AM-modulated signal.
The modulation frequency of 216 Hz and its harmonics can
be observed in the audio band. This type of noise is called
bumblebee noise.
EXTERNAL PRE-AMPLIFIER APPLICATION
The LMV1032 can also be used outside of an ECM as a
space saving external pre-amplifier. In this application, the
LMV1032 follows a phantom biased JFET microphone in the
circuit. This is shown in Figure 6. The input of the LMV1032
is connected to the microphone via the 2.2 µF capacitor. The
advantage of this circuit over one with only a JFET micro-
phone are the additional gain and the high pass filter sup-
plied by the LMV1032. The high pass filter makes the output
signal more robust and less sensitive to low frequency dis-
turbances. In this configuration the LMV1032 should be
placed as close as possible to the microphone.
