ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS

Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Permanent damage to the device may be caused by continuously operating at

or beyond these limits. Device functional operating limits and guaranteed performance specifications are given under Electrical

Characteristics at the test conditions specified.

ESD Sensitive Device. This device is manufactured on a CMOS process. It is therefore generically susceptible

to damage from excessive static voltages. Proper ESD precautions must be taken during handling and storage

of this device.

Wolfson tests its package types according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 for Moisture Sensitivity to determine acceptable storage

conditions prior to surface mount assembly. These levels are:

MSL1 = unlimited floor life at <30

C / 85% Relative Humidity. Not normally stored in moisture barrier bag.

MSL2 = out of bag storage for 1 year at <30

C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.

MSL2A = out of bag storage for 4 weeks at <30°C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.

MSL3 = out of bag storage for 168 hours at <30

C / 60% Relative Humidity. Supplied in moisture barrier bag.

The Moisture Sensitivity Level for each package type is specified in Ordering Information.

IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY GUIDELINES

Do not put a vacuum over the port hole of the microphone. Placing a vacuum over the port hole can damage the device.

Do not board wash the microphone after a re-flow process. Board washing and the associated cleaning agents can damage

the device. Do not expose to ultrasonic cleaning methods.

Do not use a vapour phase re-flow process. The vapour can damage the device.

Please refer to application note WAN0273 for further assembly and handling guidelines.
