The WM7236 is a low-profile digital silicon microphone optimized for use with low power ‘Always-on’ voice control applications. The device incorporates Cirrus Logic’s proprietary CMOS/MEMS membrane technology, offering high reliability and high performance in a miniature, low-profile package. The WM7236 supports two operational modes selected according to the applied clock frequency. ‘Hi-Fi Record’ mode offers wide dynamic range and class-leading THD performance. ‘Voice’ mode offers low current consumption while maintaining excellent SNR performance. The WM7236 offers tight tolerance on the microphone sensitivity, giving reduced variation between parts and removing the need for in-line production calibration of part-to-part microphone variations.
