General Description
The LMV1032 is an audio amplifier series for small form
factor electret microphones. It is designed to replace the
JFET preamp currently being used. The LMV1032 series is
ideal for extended battery life applications, such as a bluetooth communication link. The addition of a third pin in
electret microphones that incorporate the LMV1032 allows
for a dramatic reduction in supply current as compared to the
JFET equipped electret microphone. Microphone supply current is thus reduced to 60 µA, assuring longer battery life.
The LMV1032 series is guaranteed for supply voltages from
1.7V to 5V, and has fixed voltage gains of 6 dB, 15 dB and 25
dB.
The LMV1032 series offers low output impedance over the
voice bandwidth, excellent power supply rejection (PSRR),
and stability over temperature.
The devices are offered in space saving 4-bump ultra thin
micro SMD (TM) lead free package and are thus ideally
suited for the form factor of miniature electret microphone
packages.

Application Section
LOW CURRENT
The LMV1032 has low supply current for a longer battery life.
The low supply current makes this amplifier suitable for
microphone applications which need to be always on.
BUILT IN GAIN
The LMV1032 is offered in space saving small micro SMD
package in order to fit in the metal can of a microphone. The
LMV1032 is placed on the PCB inside the microphone.
The bottom side of the PCB has the pins that connect the
supply voltage to the amplifier and make the output available. The input of the amplifier is connected inside the metal
can via the PCB to the microphone.

FIGURE 2. A-Weighted Filter
MEASURING NOISE AND SNR
The overall noise of the LMV1032 is measured within the
frequency band from 10 Hz to 22 kHz using an A-weighted
filter. The input of the LMV1032 is connected to ground with
a 5 pF capacitor.
20084202
FIGURE 1. Built-in Gain
A-WEIGHTED FILTER
The human ear has a frequency range from 20 Hz to about
20 kHz. Within this range the sensitivity of the human ear is
not equal for each frequency. To approach the hearing response weighting filters are introduced. One of those filters
is the A-weighted filter.
The A-weighted filter is usually used in signal to noise ratio
measurements, where sound is compared to device noise. It
improves the correlation of the measured data to the signal
to noise ratio perceived by the human ear.
20084210
FIGURE 3. Noise Measurement Setup
Signal to noise ratio (SNR) is measured with a 1 kHz input
signal of 18 mV
using an A-weighted filter. This represents
PP
a sound pressure level of 94 dB SPL. No input capacitor is
connected.
SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL
The volume of sound applied to a microphone is usually
stated as a pressure level referred to the threshold of hearing of the human ear. The sound pressure level (SPL) in
decibels is defined by:
Sound pressure level (dB) = 20 log P
m/PO
Where,
is the measured sound pressure
P
m
P
is the threshold of hearing (20µPa)
O
In order to be able to calculate the resulting output voltage of
the microphone for a given SPL, the sound pressure in dB
SPL needs to be converted to the absolute sound pressure
in dBPa. This is the sound pressure level in decibels referred
to 1 Pascal (Pa).
www.national.com8
Application Section (Continued)
The conversion is given by:
dBPa = dB SPL + 20*log 20 µPa
dBPa=dBSPL-94dB
Translation from absolute sound pressure level to a voltage
is specified by the sensitivity of the microphone. A conventional microphone has a sensitivity of −44 dBV/Pa.

FIGURE 5. Gain vs. Frequency Over Temperature
The LMV1032 is optimized to be used in audio band applications. By using the LMV1032, the gain response is flat
within the audio band and has the linearity and temperature
stability.
20084211
FIGURE 4. dB SPL to dBV Conversion
Example: Busy traffic is 70 dB SPL
= 70 −94 −44 = −68 dBV
V
OUT
This is equivalent to 1.13 mV
PP
Since the LMV1032-06 has a gain of 2 (6 dB) over the JFET,
the output voltage of the microphone is 2.26 mV
PP
.By
implementing the LMV1032-06, the sensitivity of the microphone is −38 dBV/Pa (−44 + 6).
LOW FREQUENCY CUT OFF FILTER
To reduce noise on the output of the microphone a low cut
filter has been implemented. This filter reduces the effect of
wind and handling noise.
It’s also helpful to reduce the proximity effect in directional
microphones. This effect occurs when the sound source is
very close to the microphone. The lower frequencies are
amplified which gives a bass sound. This amplification can
cause an overload, which results in a distortion of the signal.
ADVANTAGE OF THREE PINS
The LMV1032 has three pins instead of two pins as in the
case of a JFET solution. The third pin brings the advantage
of a low supply current, high PSRR and eliminates the need
for additional components.
Noise pick-up by a microphone in a cell phone is a wellknown problem. A conventional JFET circuit is sensitive for
noise pick-up because of its high output impedance. The
output impedance is usually around 2.2 kΩ. By separating
the output pin and the positive supply pin a much lower
output impedance is achieved. The output of the LMV1032 is
therefore less sensitive to noise pick-up.
RF noise is amongst other caused by non-linear behavior.
The non-linear behavior of the amplifier at high frequencies,
well above the usable bandwidth of the device, causes AMdemodulation of high frequency signals. The AM modulation
contained in such signals folds back into the audio band,
thereby disturbing the intended microphone signal. The
GSM signal of a cell phone is such an AM-modulated signal.
The modulation frequency of 216 Hz and its harmonics can
be observed in the audio band. This kind of noise is called
bumblebee noise.
