Introduction To Microphones

A microphone, also known as a microphone, is translated from a transmitter. A microphone is an energy conversion device that converts sound signals into electrical signals. There are dynamic coil, capacitive, electret, and recently emerged silicon micro microphones, as well as liquid microphones and laser microphones. Most microphones are electret capacitive microphones, which work by using a polymer material diaphragm with charge isolation.


Phones can be divided into two types based on their energy conversion principle: electric microphones and capacitive microphones. The electric type can be further divided into dynamic coil microphones and belt microphones.


Common commercial microphones include condenser microphones, crystal microphones, carbon fiber microphones, dynamic microphones, etc. Commonly used capacitive microphones use two types of energy sources: DC bias power supply and electret thin film. Both capacitive microphones and crystal microphones convert sound energy into electrical energy to generate a changing electric field. Carbon microphones use a DC voltage source to change their resistance through sound vibration, thereby converting acoustic signals into electrical signals. Capacitive, crystal, and carbon microphones all generate voltage signals proportional to the displacement of the sensitive film, while dynamic microphones generate voltage signals proportional to the vibration rate of the sensitive film. Dynamic microphones use permanent magnets as their energy source and convert sound energy into electrical energy through induction effects.


Most microphones are electret capacitor microphones, and this technology has been around for decades. The working principle is to use a polymer material vibration film with charge isolation. Compared with the polymer diaphragm of ECM, MEMS microphones have very stable performance at different temperatures and are not affected by temperature, vibration, humidity, and time. Due to its strong heat resistance, MEMS microphones can withstand high temperature reflow soldering at 260 ° C without any changes in performance. Due to the minimal sensitivity changes before and after assembly, this can even save audio debugging costs during the manufacturing process.


At present, integrated circuit technology is increasingly being applied in the manufacturing of sensors and sensor interface integrated circuits. This micro manufacturing process has advantages such as precision, flexible design, miniaturization, integration with signal processing circuits, low cost, and mass production.
