STMicroelectronics delivers MEMS Microphones
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE STMicroelectronics has announced that it delivers mass-manufactures MEMS microphones in plastic packages. The patented technology breakthrough saves space and increases durability in consumer and professional voice-input applications, from mobile phones and tablets to noise-level meters and noise-cancelling headphones. ST’s MEMS microphones are suitable for assembly on flat-cable printed-circuit boards. The patented package technology allows equipment manufacturers to place the ‘sound hole’ either on the top or the bottom of the package. Moreover, ST’s plastic-package microphones integrate an internal shielding cage for uncompromised electromagnetic immunity and are compatible with standard surface-mount assembly machinery and conventional pick-and-place equipment. ST’s MEMS microphones suit a great variety of audio applications across existing and emerging market segments. The microphones pair with the Company’s Smart Voice proc...
