About the Pdm microphone board

Pdm microphone board is an open source PCB design by antmicro, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 10.7 × 11 mm, with 11 components from 9 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 3 diodes, 3 capacitors, 2 resistors, 1 connector, 1 microphone and 1 inductor.

From the project

This project contains open hardware design files for a microphone board with an SPH0644LM4H-1 PDM microphone. The board break-routes PDM signals from the microphone to a zero insertion force connector. Additionally, the board provides voltage filtering and ESD protection.
