GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The T3903 is a multi-mode, low noise digital MEMS 

microphone in a small package. The T3903 consists of a 

MEMS microphone element and an impedance converter 

amplifier followed by a fourth-

order Σ

-

Δ 

modulator. The digital 

interface allows the pulse density modulated (PDM) output of 

two microphones to be time multiplexed on a single data line 

using a single clock.  

 

The T3903 has multiple modes of operation: High Quality, 

Low-Power (AlwaysOn), and Sleep. The T3903 has high SNR in 

all operational modes. It has 133 dB SPL AOP in High Quality 

Mode and 120 dB SPL AOP in Low-Power mode. 

 

The T3903 is available in a standard 3.5 × 2.65 × 0.98 mm 

surface-mount package. It is reflow solder compatible with 

no sensitivity degradation.
