Application note
PDM audio software decoding on STM32 microcontrollers
1
Introduction
This application note presents the algorithms and architecture of an optimized software
implementation for PDM signal decoding and audio signal reconstruction when connecting
an ST MP45DT02 MEMS microphone with an STM32 microcontroller. It can directly take the
Pulse Density Modulated (PDM) data output from the microphone and convert it to 16-bit
pulse-code modulation (PCM) format.
This document also provides quick start information describing how to implement the PDM
Library for single microphone acquisition via I2S based on the STM32F4 microcontroller and
STM32F4DISCOVERY board.
For more details about this implementation, please refer to AN3997 Audio playback and
recording using the STM32F4DISCOVERY.
