AKU342
Analog, HD Voice Silicon MEMS Microphone
General Description
AKU342 is an HD Voice quality, bottom port,
analog output silicon MEMS IC microphone. It
is an integrated circuit (IC) consisting of a
MEMS acoustic sensor, a pre-amplifier, charge
pump, and supporting circuitry in an industry
standard package footprint of 2.95mm x
3.76mm x 1.00mm.
Designed specifically to meet the demanding
requirements of mobile handset OEMs,
AKU342 offers excellent acoustic performance
with 63dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and tight
sensitivity matching of just +/-2dB between
microphones. It also offers a flat wideband
frequency response with less than 5dB
variations from 50 Hz to 14 kHz, delivering
uniform audio capture across a broad audio
spectrum. The AKU342 metal lid package is
immune to RF and Electromagnetic (EM)
interferences, allowing for easy integration into
wireless devices.
