STMicroelectronics’ new miniature printed circuit board mounted microphone interface circuitry integrates noise filtering and ESD protection on single IC. Although demand for embedded microphones is increasing, little extra space – if any – is available inside the enclosure. Designers need solutions that make the microphone smaller and allow the essential interface circuitry to be mounted on the printed circuit board. ST’s EMIF02-MIC07F3 is a next-generation device integrating the complete noise filtering, ESD protection and biasing for one microphone in a single IC occupying only 1.37mm2. The single chip replaces multiple discrete components that consume at least 20.8mm2.Learn more from STMicroelectronics.
