Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Mic Click is based on the SPQ0410HRSH-B, a slim ultra-mini SiSonic™ microphone specification with maximum RF protection and ultra-narrow design from Knowles. It is a MEMS microphone and consists of an acoustic sensor, a low noise input buffer, and an output amplifier. It is a very reliable microphone, resistant to mechanical shocks, vibrations, thermal shocks, low and high temperatures, ESD-HBM, and more. It is not resistant to high pressure and vacuum. The
microphone is top-port oriented and has a typical sensitivity of -42dB at 94dB SPL, with a 59dB signal-to-noise ratio. Mic Click uses an analog OUT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket to communicate with the host MCU. The analog output from the microphone to the OUT pin goes through the MCP6022, a rail-to-rail input/output 10MHz Op Amp from Microchip. This operational amplifier has a wide bandwidth, low noise, low input offset voltage, and low distortion and amplifies the
microphone's output with high performance. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Fusion for TIVA v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs from Texas Instruments, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over a WiFi network. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for TIVA v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access
anywhere and under any circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for TIVA v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.
Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for TIVA v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.
2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.
3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

* # Description
* This example showcases the initialization and configuration of the click and logger
* modules and later on reads and displays data recorded by the mic.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes LOG communication, ADC and configures AN pin as input on MIKROBUS1.
*
* ## Application Task
* Reads 12 bit ADC data from AN pin and displays it using the logger module.
