3.4.8 Quad MEMS Microphones

The SAMA7G54-EK embeds four digital MEMS microphones SPK0641HT4H-1.

Those microphones convert acoustic pressure waves into a digital signal. This signal is acquired by the SAMA7G5 MPU through a PDMIC interface as shown in the following schematic.

PD22PDMC0_CLK_PD22Ethernet 10/100PDM clock line for all microphones
PD23PDMC0_DS0_PD23Ethernet 10/100PDM data line 0 (data from MIC1 and MIC2)
