In the SensiBel MEMS Microphone

The SensiBel MEMS Microphone is a breakthrough in miniature audio technology. It achieves studio-quality audiousing an innovative optical sensing method based on laser interferometry, rather than the traditional capacitive or piezoelectric principles. This design allows for extremely flat frequency response, ultra-low noise, and impressive high-SPL handling—all within a MEMS-sized package.

Key Features of the SensiBel MEMS Microphone:

  • Optical Sensing: Uses a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) and photodetector to sense diaphragm movement.
  • High Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): Up to 80 dB, enabling clean audio capture in both quiet and loud environments.
  • Studio-Grade Frequency Response: Flat response starting as low as 10 Hz.
  • High Acoustic Overload Point: Around 130 dB SPL, ideal for high-pressure sound environments.
  • Low Power Operation: 1.8 V supply, suitable for battery-powered devices.

Output Interfaces:

  • Digital Interfaces: Supports PDM, I²S, and TDM.
  • No need for external ADCs or analog front ends, simplifying system integration.

Evaluation Kit – Aurora:

To evaluate the SensiBel MEMS Microphone, engineers can use the Aurora Evaluation Kit:

  • Rapid setup with PDM or I²S mic options.
  • USB connectivity for instant testing.
  • Plug-and-play with included software.
  • Studio-quality audio monitoring in minutes.

Applications:

  • Smart speakers and wearables
  • Hearing aids and audio recorders
  • Medical devices and assistive tech
  • Consumer headsets and AR/VR gear

Despite its compact size—no larger than a fingernail—the SensiBel MEMS Microphone rivals large-diaphragm studio mics in audio fidelity. If you’re designing an embedded system where sound quality can’t be compromised, this optical MEMS microphone is a truly disruptive choice.

With the SensiBel MEMS Microphone, engineers can now deliver high-fidelity audio in form factors previously limited to low-grade performance, all while benefiting from simplified digital integration and unmatched sound clarity.
