RAK18040 WisBlock Audio Analog Microphone to I2S Module Datasheet

Overview

Description

RAK18040 is an analog microphone to the I2S module, part of the WisBlock Audio Series. With an analog microphone like the RAK18041, analog audio can be directed to I2S output using this module. RAK18040 is designed based on NAU85L40B from Nuvoton. NAU85L40B is an audio ADC with an integrated frequency-locked loop (FLL) and microphone preamplifier.
