LMV1015 LMV1015 Analog Series: Built-in Gain IC's for High Sensitivity 2-Wire Microphones Literature Number: SNAS291A LMV1015 Analog Series: Built-in Gain IC's for High Sensitivity 2-Wire Microphones General Description Features The LMV1015 is an audio amplifier series for small form factor electret microphones. This 2-wire portfolio is designed to replace the JFET amplifier. The LMV1015 series is ideally suited for applications requiring high signal integrity in the presence of ambient or RF noise, such as in cellular communications. The LMV1015 audio amplifiers are guaranteed to operate over a 2.2V to 5.0V supply voltage range with fixed gains of 15.6 dB and 23.8 dB. The devices offer excellent THD, gain accuracy and temperature stability as compared to a JFET microphone. The LMV1015 series enables a two-pin electret microphone solution, which provides direct pin-to-pin compatibility with the existing older JFET market. National Semiconductors built-in gain families are offered in extremely thin space saving 4-bump micro SMD packages (0.3 mm maximum). The LMV1015XR is designed for 1.0 mm ECM canisters and thicker. These extremely miniature packages have the Large Dome Bump (LDB) technology. This micro SMD technology is designed for microphone PCBs requiring 1 kg adhesion criteria.

A high gain eliminates the need for extra external components. BUILT IN GAIN The LMV1015 is offered in 0.3 mm height space saving small 4-pin micro SMD packages in order to fit inside the different size ECM canisters of a microphone. The LMV1015 is placed on the PCB inside the microphone using Large Dome Bump technology (LDB). The bottom side of the PCB usually shows a bull's eye pattern where the outer ring, which is shorted to the metal can, should be connected to the ground. The center dot on the PCB is connected to the VDD through a resistor. This phantom biasing allows both supply voltage and output signal on one connection. 20128909 FIGURE 2. A-Weighted Filter MEASURING NOISE AND SNR The overall noise of the LMV1015 is measured within the frequency band from 10 Hz to 22 kHz using an A-weighted filter. The input of the LMV1015 is connected to ground with a 5 pF capacitor, as in Figure 3. Special precautions in the internal structure of the LMV1015 have been taken to reduce the noise on the output. 20128902 FIGURE 1. Built in Gain 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 response 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. This filter improves the correlation of the measured data to the signal to noise ratio perceived by the human ear. 20128910 FIGURE 3. Noise Measurement Setup The signal to noise ratio (SNR) is measured with a 1 kHz input signal of 18 mVPP using an A-weighted filter. This represents a sound pressure level of 94 dB SPL. No input capacitor is connected for the measurement. SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL The volume of sound applied to a microphone is usually stated as a pressure level referred 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 Pm/PO Where, Pm is the measured sound pressure PO is the threshold of hearing (20 Pa) In order to be able to calculate the resulting output voltage of the microphone for a given SPL, the sound pressure in dB 7 www.national.com LMV1015 Analog Series Application Section amplified which gives a bass sound. This amplification can cause an overload, which results in a distortion of the signal. (Continued) SPL needs to be converted to the absolute sound pressure in dBPa. This is the sound pressure level in decibels referred to 1 Pascal (Pa). The conversion is given by: dBPa = dB SPL + 20*log 20 Pa dBPa = dB SPL - 94 dB Translation from absolute sound pressure level to a voltage is specified by the sensitivity of the microphone. A conventional microphone has a sensitivity of -44 dBV/Pa. 20128912 FIGURE 5. LMV1015-15 Gain vs. Frequency Over Temperature The LMV1015 is optimized to be used in audio band applications. By using the LMV1015, the gain response is flat within the audio band and has linearity and temperature stability Figure 5. NOISE 20128911 Noise pick-up by a microphone in cell phones is a wellknown problem. A conventional JFET circuit is sensitive for noise pick-up because of its high output impedance, which is usually around 2.2 k. RF noise is amongst 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 AMdemodulation 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 kind of noise is called bumblebee noise. RF noise caused by a GSM signal can be reduced by connecting two external capacitors to ground, see Figure 6. One capacitor reduces the noise caused by the 900 MHz carrier and the other reduces the noise caused by 1800/ 1900 MHz. FIGURE 4. dB SPL to dBV Conversion Example: Busy traffic is 70 dB SPL VOUT = 70 -94 -44 = -68 dBV This is equivalent to 1.13 mVPP Since the LMV1015-15 has a gain of 6 (15.6 dB) over the JFET, the output voltage of the microphone is 6.78 mVPP. By implementing the LMV1015-15, the sensitivity of the microphone is -28.4 dBV/Pa (-44 + 15.6). LOW FREQUENCY CUT OFF FILTER To reduce noise on the output of the microphone a low frequency cut off filter has been implemented. 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.
