What are the key operating modes?

It supports High Quality, Low-Power (AlwaysOn), Ultrasonic, and Sleep modes, plus specialized Acoustic Activity Detect (AAD) Analog and Digital modes.

What is the Acoustic Activity Detect (AAD) feature?

AAD allows the microphone to detect acoustic activity while in low-power states, triggering a WAKE pin when conditions are met, which helps save system power.

What should be considered for PCB design?

Ensure the PCB hole is at least 0.375 mm in diameter and aligned with the microphone's bottom port. Avoid applying solder paste to the sound hole.
