Abstract

See full text

A self-tuning MEMS microphone. The microphone includes a capacitive sensor, an amplifier, a signal converter, a frequency generator, a micro-speaker, and a controller. The capacitive sensor is configured to detected a sound wave and output an electric signal based on the sound wave. The amplifier is coupled to the capacitive sensor, and configured to amplify the electric signal. The signal converter is coupled to the amplifier, and configured to adjust a frequency response of the amplified electric signal. The frequency generator is configured to output an AC electric signal. The micro-speaker is coupled to the frequency generator, and configured to convert the AC electric signal into a sound wave. The controller is coupled to the signal converter and the frequency generator. The controller is configured to direct the frequency generator to output the AC electric signal at a predetermined frequency and to detect an amplified electric signal generated by the capacitive sensor based on the AC electric signal.
