INMP441

PCB DESIGN AND LAND PATTERN LAYOUT

Lay out the PCB land pattern for the INMP441 at a 1:1 ratio to the solder pads on the microphone package (see Figure 14.) Take care

to avoid applying solder paste to the sound hole in the PCB. Figure 15 shows a suggested solder paste stencil pattern layout.

The response of the INMP441 is not affected by the PCB hole size, as long as the hole is not smaller than the sound port of the micro-

phone (0.25 mm, or 0.010 inch, in diameter). A 0.5 mm to 1 mm (0.020 inch to 0.040 inch) diameter for the hole is recommended.

Align the hole in the microphone package with the hole in the PCB. The exact degree of the alignment does not affect the

performance of the microphone as long as the holes are not partially or completely blocked.
