ICS-40180
PCB DESIGN AND LAND PATTERN LAYOUT 
Below is the lay out the PCB land pattern for the ICS-40180, at a 1:1 ratio to the solder pads on the microphone package, (see Figure 
11.) Take care to avoid applying solder paste to the sound hole in the PCB. Figure 12 shows a suggested solder-paste stencil pattern 
layout. The response of the ICS-40180 is not affected by the PCB hole size, as long as the hole is not smaller than the sound port of the 
microphone (0.25 mm, or 0.01 inch, in diameter). A 0.5 mm to 1 mm (0.020 inch to 0.040 inch) diameter for the hole is 
recommended. 
Align the hole in the microphone package with the hole in the PCB. The exact degree of the alignment does not affect the 
performance of the microphone as long as the holes are not partially or completely blocked.

PCB MATERIAL AND THICKNESS 
The performance of the ICS-40180 is not affected by PCB thickness. The ICS-40180 can be mounted on either a rigid or flexible PCB. 
A flexible PCB with the microphone can be attached directly to the device housing with an adhesive layer. This mounting method 
offers a reliable seal around the sound port while providing the shortest acoustic path for good sound quality.
