Description
The MP34DT04 is an ultra-compact, low-power,
omnidirectional, digital MEMS microphone built
with a capacitive sensing element and an IC
interface.
The sensing element, capable of detecting
acoustic waves , is manufactured us ing a
specialized silicon micromachining process
dedicated to produce audio sensors.
The IC interface is manufactured using a CMOS
process that allows designing a dedicated circuit
able to provide a digit al sig nal ex terna lly in PDM
format.
The MP34DT04 has an acoustic overload point of
120 dBSPL with a 64 dB signal-to-noise ratio and
26 dBFS sensitivity.
The MP34DT04 is available in a top-port, SMD-
complia nt, EMI-shielded package and is
guaranteed to operate over an extended
temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Figure 5: MP34DT04 electrical connections for stereo configuration (top view
Power supply decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic, 1 µF ceramic) should be placed as
near as possible to pin 1 of the device (common design practice).
The L/R pin must be connected to Vdd or GND (refer to Table 8: "L/R channel selection").

Process recommendations
MP34DT04
DocID027586 Rev 3
5 Process recommendations
To ensure a consistent manufacturing process it is strongly advised to comply with the
following recommendations:
The recommended pick-up area for the MP34DT04 package must be defined using
the worst case (ie. no device alignment during the picking process). This area has
been defined considering all the tolerances of the components involved (reel,
package, sound inlet). The picker tolerance shall be considered as well.
To prevent damage to the MEMS membrane or incorrect pick-up and placement, do
not pick up the component on the inlet area.
For the package outline please refer to Figure 7: "Carrier tape with microphone (top
view)". Nozzle shape, size, and placement accuracy are the other key factors to
consider when deciding on the coordinates for picking.
Device alignment before picking is highly recommended.
A vacuum force greater than 7 psi must be avoided
1 kPa = 0.145 psi (lb/in2) = 0.0102 kgf/cm² = 0.00 98 at m
MSL (moisture sensitivity level) Class 3
Maximum of 3 reflow cycles is recommended.
All recommended dimensions (device safe-picking area) do not include the pick-and-
place equipment tolerances
Figure 8: Recommended picking area
To have a safe pick-up "by design", ST strongly advises an ad hoc nozzle.
The following picker ensures that the holes for the vacuum and the air stream are ALWAYS
away from the porthole of the device (4 vacuum ports located at each corner of the device).
The recommended nozzle also has a recess, in the form of a cross, which guarantees that
the porthole is always left at atmospheric pressure. By using the recommended nozzle, the
membrane will not suffer any sudden air disturbances during the picking or placing of the
devices in the tape and reel.

Sensing element
MP34DT04
DocID027586 Rev 3
6 Sensing element
The sensing element shall mean the acoustic sensor consisting of a conductive movable
plate and a fixed plate placed in a tiny silicon chip. This sensor transduces the sound
pressure into the changes of coupled capacity between those two plates.
Omron Corporation supplies this element for STMicroelectronics.
