X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 Hardware description ST morpho connector

Arduino UNO R3 connector

The X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 is an evaluation board
based on digital MEMS microphones. It has two
MP34DT01M microphones soldered on the board
and offers the possibility to plug in additional
microphones using MP34DT01-based coupon
evaluation boards (STEVAL-MKI129V* or
STEVAL-MKI155V*).

The X-NUCLEO-CCA02M1 enables the acquisition

and streaming of up to 4 microphones using both
I2S and SPI busses available on ST morpho
connector.
