What Is A MEMS Microphone? (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)
As technologies advance, they often become smaller. This is partly the case with microphones and is certainly the case with the invention of the MEMS microphone. What is a MEMS microphone? A MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) mic is a pressure-sensitive diaphragm etched into a silicon wafer via MEMS processing. MEMS mics are largely based on electret…
