I'd like to use MEMS microphones underwater, up to approx 10 bar of pressure (inside pipelines), for acoustic pattern recognition (leaks mostly). I'd ideally solder four mics on a thin PCB, bolt that to an aluminium carrier plate and seal it off by covering the whole in epoxy resin. There would be approx 2-3mm resin covering the mic can. For sealing it would make sense to use a bottom-ported mic. Would the mics still be able to pick up audio, with their ports blocked and covered in resin?

Hello everyone
I am planning to use ICM-42605 in one of my project.But i am not getting any current consumption readings in high performance mode (ODR 1 khz).As i am developing for low power current consumption matters a lot to me. Can any one tell me current consumption reading in high performance mode? for 1khz ODR

We are looking at an array of ICS-52000 microphones for our far field voice recognition applications. Would like to know how does daisy chain configuration of ICS-52000 microphones capture and sample the voice. Do all of them in the daisy chain configuration sample the voice at the same time ? If the microphones start sampling at arrival of pulse at their WS input then there will be a finite delay between each microphone in the daisy chain configuration. Let me know.

What happens when the 160 dB SPL absolute maximum is surpassed. We are expecting a maximum of ~185 dB SPL as an impulse, not for an extended period of time. In a use case like this would you expect damage to occur on the microphone or just distortion and clipping? We are looking to use this microphone purely as a trigger, not for any processing, all we need is a voltage out when the sound occurs.

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and would really appreciate some help with the ICS43434 and interfacing with a Raspberry Pi.

The questions I have are as follows:
1. In my schematic design, I have the ICS43434 connected to the following pins on the Pi: VDD - 3.3v, GND - Ground, WS - PCM_FS (GPIO19), SCK - PCM_CLK (GPIO18), SD - PCM_DIN (GPIO20). Are these connections correct?

2. How do I go about registering the microphone with the Pi, is there a linux Kernal module available for this specific device or a generec I2S microphone module?

The datasheet of the ICS 43434 microphone says that it operates in low power mode when the sampling frequency is between 6KHz-18.75KHz and it operates in high performance mode when the sampling frequency is between 23KHz-51KHz. what would happen if I operate the microphone with a sampling frequency of 22.05KHz?
