Description
The FAN3850T integrates a pre-amplifier, LDO, and
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) to convert Electret
Condenser Microphone (ECM) outputs to digital Pulse
Density Modulation (PDM) data streams. The pre-
amplifier accepts analog signals from the ECM and drives
an over-sampled sigma delta ADC and outputs PDM
data. The PDM digital audio has the advantage of noise
rejection and interface-to-mobile handset processors.
The FAN3850T is powered from the system supply rails
up to 3.63V, with a low power consumption of only
0.85mW, and less than 20μW in Power-Down Mode.
The device compensates for the temperature variation
of the microphone element to achieve a flat sensitivity
response over-temperature.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.

CLK
≥
300kHz.
10. Device falls asleep when f
CLK
≤
