1 Getting started

This section describes the hardware requirements for the X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1

evaluation board.

1.1 Hardware requirements

The X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 is an expansion board for use with STM32 Nucleo boards

(refer to UM1724 on www.st.com for further information).

The STM32 Nucleo board must be connected to the X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 board, as

shown below.

Figure 2: X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 on STM32 Nucleo board

The connection between the STM32 Nucleo and the X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 is designed for

use with any STM32 Nucleo board. When mounting the X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 on the

STM32 Nucleo, ensure that all the pins are aligned with their corresponding connector. It is

very important to handle both boards carefully during this operation to avoid damaging or

bending the male/female pins and connectors.

ESD prevention measures must also be implemented to avoid damaging any X-NUCLEO-

CCA02M1 board components.

1.2 System requirements

Using the Nucleo boards with the X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 expansion board requires the

following software and hardware:

a Windows® (XP, Vista, 7, 8) PC for the software

Getting started

UM1900

DocID027905 Rev 4

a USB type A to Mini-B USB cable to connect the Nucleo to the PC for installation of

the board firmware package (order code: X-CUBE-MEMSMIC1); a utility running on

the user's PC will complete the demo.

The user PC must have the following characteristics:

at least 128 MB of RAM

40 MB of available hard disk space for the X-CUBE-MEMSMIC1 firmware package

and relative documentation, available on www.st.com.

2 Hardware description

The board allows the user to test the function of the STMicroelectronics MEMS

microphones. For this purpose, two MP34DT01-M digital MEMS microphone are mounted

on the board and 6 headers (4 mounted with 2 additional footprints) are available for

connecting additional microphones using digital microphone coupon boards (STEVAL-

MKI129Vx or STEVAL-MKI155Vx), for further information refer to www.st.com.

The connection between the X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 and the STEVAL-MKI155V1 is shown

in Figure 3: "Connection with STEVAL-MKI155V1".

The board interfaces with the STM32 Nucleo microcontrollers via the I²S, SPI or DFSDM

peripherals for the synchronized acquisition of up to 4 microphones. The board also

provides USB streaming using the STM32 Nucleo microcontroller USB peripheral; for this

purpose, a USB connector is available as well as the footprint to mount a dedicated

oscillator that can be used to feed the host MCU through the OSC_IN pin.

Solder bridges are used in order to choose from different options, depending on the

number of microphones and the MCU peripherals involved.

Figure 3: Connection with STEVAL-MKI155V1

2.1 USB connector and power source

A USB connector available on the board supports audio streaming to the host PC. It can

also be used to power the whole system , including the STM32 Nucleo board. To enable

system power sourcing from the X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 expansion board USB connector:

close Jumper J1 on the X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 expansion board

place JP5 in position E5 on the STM32 Nucleo board

2.2 Audio acquisition strategy

A digital MEMS microphone can be acquired via different peripherals, such as SPI, I²S,

GPIO or DFSDM. It requires an input clock and it outputs a PDM stream at the same

frequency of the input clock. This PDM stream is further filtered and decimated for

conversion into PCM standard for audio transmission.

Two different digital MEMS microphones can be connected on the same data line,

configuring the first to generate valid data on the rising edge of the clock and the other on

the falling edge, by setting the L/R pin of each microphone accordingly. On the X-

NUCLEO-CCA02M1 expansion board, two microphones share the same data line and can

be managed differently, depending on the MCU capabilities.

If a digital filter for sigma delta modulators (DFSDM) peripheral is available, the

microphones can be routed to DFSDM channels, otherwise use the I²S peripheral for the

first and the second microphone and the SPI peripheral for the third and the fourth.

2.2.1 DFSDM microphone acquisition

The DFSDM peripheral generates the precise clock needed by the microphones and reads

the data on the rising and falling edges of each PDM line. Acquired signals are then input

to DSFDM filters for hardware filtering and decimation to generate standard PCM streams.

An additional software high pass filtering stage removes any DC offset in the output

stream. DMA is used to reduce MCU load.

2.2.2 I²S and SPI microphone acquisition

In this scenario, a precise clock signal is generated by the I²S peripheral while the SPI is

configured in slave mode and is fed by the same timing signal generated by I²S. This clock

is then halved by a timer and input to the microphones. The SPI and I²S peripherals

operate at twice the microphone frequency to read the data on both the rising and falling

edges of the microphone clock, thus reading the bits of two microphones each.

A software demuxing step separates the signal from the two microphones and allows

further processing like PDM-to-PCM

conversion.

For further information regarding MEMS microphone and PDM-to-PCM decimation, please refer to application

note AN3998 on www.st.com.

Figure 4: General acquisition strategy using I²S and SPI

For single microphone acquisition, the correct microphone timer is generated directly by I²S

and one single microphone data line is read by the same peripheral.

2.3 Solder bridge configurations

Various board configurations are possible, depending on the use cases. MEMS

microphones can be plugged into ST morpho pins, and thus to MCU peripherals, with

appropriate solder bridges. Clock routing can also be changed according to specific needs.

2.3.1 Solder bridge roles

The table below lists the solder bridge functions with respect to audio acquisition strategies.
