ADMP421 bias in output signal.

I am working with the ADMP421 MEMS microphone and the ADAU1761. I am also using the ADAU1761 as a codec for an extenal microphone. When the system is configured for the external microphone, there is a zero bias on the output and the high frequency content of the sound is easily picked up. However, when I configure the system for the ADMP421 microphone, I am seeing a very large positive bias on the output, (~15% of the output range). Also, I am not hearing much of the high frequency content of the sound. Is there a setting in SigmaStudio that could be causing this? My company had some problems with the original pad layout suggested for the ADMP421. Could this be a factor in producing the bias I am seeing?

  • I thought that your question about seeing data in both channels in your codec warranted its own thread, so I opened a new one here and answered the question: https://ez.analog.com/message/44631#44631

    Your PDM microphones are being clocked at the correct rate. A 3.072 MHz clock, for example, can be used to clock either one or two PDM mics that share the same data line. This is because each mic uses only one clock edge, so the clock rate doesn't have to change to support two mics instead of just one.

    If you're still having issues with your board, feel free to post your schematic here and I'll be happy to review it. You could post it either in the public forum or in a private message to me.
