70 dB MEMS Microphone Enhances Human To Electronics Interface

InvenSense is now sampling the world’s first 70 dB analog MEMS microphone for the consumer electronic market to select customers. The ICS-40720 is an RF-hardened, high performance, ultra low-noise, low-power, differential analog output MEMS microphone. Utilizing the company’s patented InvenSense Fabrication Platform and patent-pending MotionFusion technology, the new microphone package combines an innovative new MEMS sensor with an advanced ultra low-noise signal conditioning amplifier to meet the market requirement for a human-like interface between people and consumer electronics via improved performance, accuracy and intuitive motion-, gesture- and sound-based interfaces. The MEMS microphone boasts very high SNR and extended wideband frequency response for excellent sound quality and intelligibility. With its small size (4 x 3 x 1.2 mm) and low current consumption (160 µA), the ICS-40720 MEMS microphone enables longer battery life for consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, digital still/video cameras, teleconferencing systems, Bluetooth headsets, notebook PCs, and security/surveillance.
