    摘要: Systems and apparatuses for a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device. The MEMS device includes a housing, a transducer, and a sensor. The housing includes a substrate defining a port and a cover. The substrate and the cover cooperatively form an internal cavity. The port fluidly couples the internal cavity to an external environment. The transducer is disposed within the internal cavity and positioned to receive acoustic energy through the port. The transducer is configured to convert the acoustic energy into an electrical signal. The sensor is disposed within the internal cavity and positioned to receive a gas through the port. The sensor is configured to facilitate detecting at least one of an offensive odor, smoke, a volatile organic compound, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, a nitrogen oxide, methane, and ozone.

    摘要: A microphone assembly includes an acoustic transducer and an audio signal electrical circuit configured to receive an output signal from the acoustic transducer. The output signal includes an audio signal component and a tracking signal component. The audio signal component is representative of an acoustic signal detected by the acoustic transducer and the tracking signal component is based on an input tracking signal applied to the acoustic transducer. The audio signal electrical circuit includes an analog to digital converter configured to convert the output signal into a digital signal, an extraction circuit configured to separate the tracking signal component and the audio signal component from the digital signal, an envelope estimation circuit configured to estimate a tracking signal envelope from the tracking signal component, and a signal correction circuit configured to reduce distortion in the audio signal component using the tracking signal envelope.

    摘要: A MEMS vibration sensor die can include a substrate having a top portion, a mounting surface, and an aperture extending at least partially through the substrate. The die can include a first electrode coupled to the top portion of the substrate and positioned over the aperture. The die can include a second electrode disposed between the substrate and the first electrode. The second electrode can be spaced apart from the first electrode. The die can include a proof mass that can have a first portion coupled to the first electrode or the second electrode. The proof mass can have a second end opposite the first portion. The second end can be recessed within the aperture relative to the mounting surface of the substrate. The proof mass can be suspended freely within the aperture. The proof mass can move the first electrode or the second electrode from which it is suspended in response to vibration.

    摘要: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device includes at least one substrate, a lid, a MEMS component, a sensor, and a power supply. The lid is coupled to the substrate so that the substrate and the lid cooperatively define an interior cavity. The MEMS component is disposed within the interior cavity. The sensor is disposed within the interior cavity and is arranged to detect a parameter of the interior cavity. The power supply provides current to the sensor. The power supply is configured to control current during a ramp-up transition of the current and a ramp-down transition of the current such that the ramp-up transition and the ramp-down transition have attenuated high-frequency components.
