Product description: Analog MEMS Microphone Breakout - MEMS analog microphone module - VM2020 - SparkFun BOB-21537
Analog MEMS microphone with differential output from SparkFun . It is equipped with the VM2020 chip, containing an omnidirectional microphone that picks up sounds coming from different directions well. The microphone consists of a piezoelectric sensor and circuits for buffering and amplifying the output signal . The SNR (Signal-to-noise ratio) is 50 dBA and the sensitivity is approximately -63 dBV . The module is used in applications that are based on measuring the volume in a given environment, it can also be used to quickly analyze the Fourier transform of sound at concerts, and even base an adaptive filter on it for a smart speaker.

The board has outputs in the form of solder pads.
How to connect a microphone?
The Analog MEMS Microphone Breakout board has leads in the form of solder pads. Solder the wires to them and connect them with the control module (e.g. with Arduino) according to the dependencies below:
- OUT- - audio signal output for differential output (negative)
- OUT+ - audio signal output for differential output (positive)
- VCC - supply voltage from 1.6 V to 3.6 V DC
- GND - system ground
You can find an example of a connection diagram in the user's guide .
