Low self noise: The first step to high-performance MEMS microphone applications
Jerad Lewis, Applications Engineer, and Paul Schreier, Marketing Manager, Analog Devices, Inc.
Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microphones offer plenty of advantages typical of MEMS devices, including tiny size, low power usage, and consistent performance over time and temperature. But the audio specifications of these microphones have not been sufficient for certain designs - including ones where you need to capture sound from a distance or use multiple microphones. Now high-performance MEMS mics are changing what is possible, and many acoustics experts would say self noise is the first specification to consider.
Self noise - what you need to know
Any microphone produces some level of noise: through its electronics, its transducer element, its housing. This inherent noise is known as self noise. It's a familiar sound to anyone using a cell phone. For example, self noise contributes to the hiss you hear when your mobile phone is on and nobody is talking.
For an electronics designer, microphone self noise is an ever-present constraint. The idea is to have the mic present as much signal as possible to the rest of the signal chain. But part of the signal you capture from the audio source will fall below the microphone's inherent self noise, which is also called its noise floor.
The noisier a microphone is, the less signal you have available. A lower noise microphone will give you room to isolate the sound you want from the noise that you don't. Then your processor - DSP or codec - has more signal to work with. As a result, the output from the signal chain sounds much better when you start with a quieter microphone.
A high signal-to-noise ratio (more about SNR in the next section) indicates a quiet microphone, and a lower SNR specification tells you the microphone has more self noise.
While a high SNR is always useful, you don't depend on it as much when your audio source is very close to the microphone. There is usually enough signal for these near-field applications. In far-field applications where the microphone isn't positioned next to the sound source, a noisy mic with a low SNR leaves you with a poor or unintelligible signal.
What the specs tell you
The self noise, or noise floor, of the microphone does a lot to define the quality of audio you are able to capture and pass onto the signal chain. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and equivalent input noise (EIN) are two specifications that describe where that noise floor is.
And as we will soon discuss in more detail, the self noise of MEMS microphones has reached a level far better than past generations of the technology (Figure 1).
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of a reference signal to the noise floor of the microphone. A microphone's SNR is the difference between its inherent self noise level and a standard reference pressure, specifically 94 dB SPL (1 Pa) at 1 kHz.
You will typically see this specification presented as an A-weighted value (dBA) with a 20 kHz bandwidth. A-weighting means the SNR being presented includes a correction factor that corresponds to the human ear's sensitivity to sound at different frequencies.
When you compare the SNR of different microphones, make sure they are based on the same weighting and bandwidth. A comparison will not be accurate if the measurements don't use the same weighting and bandwidth.1
Equivalent input noise (EIN)
Equivalent input noise is the output noise level of the microphone represented as a theoretical acoustic noise source placed at the microphone's input. The unit of measurement is sound pressure level, measured in decibels (dB SPL). SPLs less than the EIN level are below the noise floor of the microphone.
You can determine the EIN directly from the microphone's SNR specification:2
EIN = 94 dB - SNR
MEMS microphones double their SNR performance
The MEMS industry's earlier generations of microphones offered an SNR around 58 to 60 dB, which did not equal the acoustic performance you could get from electret condenser microphones (ECMs). The situation is changing now that leading manufacturers are making dramatic improvements to the performance of MEMS microphones.
The ultra-low noise Analog Devices ADMP504 and ADMP521 MEMS microphones have lowered the noise floor of earlier MEMS mics by more than 2x. The ADMP504 and ADMP521 are the first MEMS microphones to reach the level of 65 dBA SNR (29 dBA EIN).
An SNR spec of 65 dBA is good even for an electret microphone, but ECMs tend to be much larger than MEMS mics with comparable SNRs. As the size of an ECM gets smaller, its SNR drops quickly (Figure 2). ECMs also don't offer the other advantages that MEMS mics do, such as a consistent response to sound across all operating temperatures.
Bandwidth and linearity are each both worthy of their own discussions, but I think that you'll find similar bandwidths of operation for ECMs and MEMS microphones. Many MEMS microphones today have a maximum SPL (clipping point) of about 120 dB. There are certainly ECMs available that are linear to higher SPLs, but again, those are often larger, pro-level devices. I think that we'll start to see more MEMS microphones that are linear to even higher SPLs in the future.

Playgrounds Pose Serious Dangers When Equipment Heats Up
By: Gina Benitez
Updated: May 4, 2012
The old metal playground equipment you may have grown up with has now been replaced with more modern slides and swings for today's generation.
Shay Wade, a mother of two, says, "I think it's nice, I think it's really nice."
However, a very real danger still exists. That playground equipment burning the skin of young children.
"I'm actually very surprised that you can get burned at the park," says Wade.
But it does happen. Several years ago, Christy Linley's daughter received second degree burns sliding down a metal slide.
Linley says, "I was really shocked. I didn't think it would actually be hot enough to burn their skin like that."
It only takes seconds. And though Abilene's parks no longer have that sort of equipment, the plastic still heats up significantly. Enough to cause the same sort of injuries.
"Now this city park does have awnings up above to protect children from those hot temperatures. But once the sun changes places in the middle of the day, some equipment is still exposed to those high temperatures."
"It makes you more cautious of it. It makes you want to check before you turn them loose to let them go play," says Linley.
And that's exactly the advice city officials give to parents: To use their best judgement when it comes to their children.

A vacant Detroit housing project that was home to the Supremes before the talented trio struck gold with Motown is coming down.
Demolition of the massive Frederick Douglass Homes — known to most Detroit residents as the Brewster projects — could begin in early 2013, Mayor Dave Bing announced Thursday.
Covering several city blocks, the complex bathes part of downtown and surrounding neighborhoods in shadow and fear and is a symbol of the city's decline.
A $6.5 million federal Housing and Urban Development grant will cover the cost of tearing down the 75 condo-style apartments, two 6-story buildings and four 14-story towers. Soil remediation — the removal of any below-ground pollution — is included in that tally.
"It's going to take us, probably, the better part of a year to get everything down," the mayor told reporters at a news conference in front of the hulking complex. "This total area will be cleaned up."
The city has no set plans for redevelopment of the complex where a young Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson lived before signing with Berry Gordy's Motown Records in the early 1960s. Past proposals have included a mix of new homes and retail establishments.
"I know there's a lot of history here. I'm sure some people may even think that it shouldn't come down," Bing said. "But as we look at changing the face of Detroit, this is going to start with this.
"It's become an eyesore. We've got to think about now and our future. Our future is demolishing this."
The 2010 census confirmed what many Detroiters already knew: thousands of people have migrated from the city in recent years. Some 30,000 homes stand vacant and abandoned buildings litter the once-thriving industrial center.
The Frederick Douglass Homes was not always one of the blots on the landscape. Formerly known as the Brewster-Douglass housing project, the 661 units were completed in the early 1950s to provide affordable homes for working-class people. Continued...
The last families were vacated in 2008 by the Detroit Housing Commission as conditions in the buildings became unsafe. Though it's empty now, the complex is frequently visited by police and firefighters responding to reports of crime and arson.
By tearing the buildings down and clearing the land, the city's scant emergency resources can be deployed elsewhere, Bing said.
Adjacent to the unfenced housing project is a senior citizens complex. Some children in the surrounding neighborhood have to navigate their way past on their way to school.
"We have big concerns in regard to our children being harmed or snatched up from people who are lurking in these buildings," said Brush Park Citizens District Council chair Mona Gardner. "It's not secure."

After seeing some of the pictures of finished guitars, I decided to go for a Blue burst Strat body. The first one I received was almost black with very little flame on the front. StewMac's CS guy was very helpful and no complaints at all in that area. He offered to 'hand select' a replacement body for me and advised that I could return the original whenever. However, he emailed to say that none of the bodies they had in stock had much flame and he sent the best they had. So I now had a body and neck and started the build. When I put the neck in the neck pocket, it was way out with the top E hanging at least 1/8th inch over the side. I did all the adjustment I could on the pocket, but it was still only level with the edge of the neck. My only solution was to enlarge the tremelo cavity to get the bridge far enough over and widen the cutout on the pickguard. This left a visible gap on the treble side of the bridge. The guitar is ok, but this was a problem build from start to finish.
I just received the Tobacco Burst pre-finished body in the mail. It is a beautifully done piece of wood. Very clean and carefully finished with no blemishes. I am very happy with this item and am now considering ordering one for myself!
Beautiful finish and all the hard work already done! Great option for a first ptoject
You just can't go wrong with this item! I chose the tobacco flavor and I can honestly say I'm very pleased. The finish is flawless! BUY ONE or seven or ten. Nothing but great service too! Hey...someone actually answered an e-mail question I had. Everyone at Stew Mac should be proud of the service and products they sell. EVERYBODY GETS A RAISE!!!
Very pleased with the quality and trim parts. Everything is perfect and going. The sound is excellent - sustain, glass. This strat!
Very nicely done strat style body. The finish is a high gloss as clear as glass. highly recomended for either a replacement or a DIY project.
The handsome quilt top is complemented by a precise cut which makes assembly a joy!
the finish is like an armor, really beautiful colors, bright tone
I was impressed when the body that arrived was not only just as flawless as the picture, but also more beautiful than expected. The only issue with the body is on mine the input jack wire hole was very very small, I needed to fit 2 wires through that hole, but it barely ended up fitting one. I used a smaller wire with 1 regular sized and I barely ended up wedging it through the one hole...that being said...with every other hole they were perfect size, all and all, these bodies are an amazing deal.
I've buy the "Tobacco Burst", the blue was out of stock...It really doesn't matter. In my body, the neck holes don't formed a perfect square, but this not really critical. More critical: the tremolo mass hole is a little too small to place precisely a Hipshot Tremolo. On installing, we can see the mass touch the 6th string side of the hole, while the strings are a little diverted towards 1st string edge... Nothing TOO critical, but we must to route a little to correct this.

Purchase Reason
For [$], the quality is just ok.
Purchase Reason
This piece,made in four separate panels,has great potential to wow an audience as a modern art deco item.But it is not a stand out look.As a matter of fact,it doesn't look like it's worth [$].If more attention was made to transfer this art onto canvas and to lift the mutiple colors to more distinct color values you would make a much richer picture.On line it was more appealing to me.[...] will not return it.Nothing else appeals to me for the moment.
Purchase Reason
They look wonderful in my bedroom and I love looking at them every time I go in the room.

ReplyDelete Thanks for the positive feedback everyone . . . you can see a few more in progress pics on my blog:
As for cord management, I just drilled a hole in the back corner to access an outlet hidden within one of the cabinets. The partially hidden shelf is to simply store scores that I'm studying at any given point in time (I'm a conductor/teacher on faculty at UT Austin) - helps hide the mess, but keeps them close at hand.

I find it quite humorous that contractors are trying to use this excuse of improper installation as to the malfunctioning of these units. It seems to me that the problems people are describing have nothing at all to do with installation and everything to do with faulty parts.

"Trane XE80"
Trane xe80 is one expensive furnace! It has a "hot surface direct ignition device", which means there is no pilot light that you can light manually. a service call to diagnose why the gas burners do not light costs approx. $100. If the gas sensor device is the problem, then that will cost an additional $520! Ridiculous, considering the furnace is only 10 years old!

"many repairs needed"
We have a xv90 trane furnace that is being repaired as I write this. It's been circuit boards and now a blower motor controller.It's been jan 2003 controller replacement, march 2005 ifc ( part) replacement,dec 2005control board,and at least two calls inbetween the calls in 2005. All the problems have been electrical in nature but come on if I hadn't bought the extended warranty I would have spent about $2020.00 in repairs in the nine years we have had this money pit!

"XV90 - Flawed logic"
I just purchased a builder's model home that has a Trane xv90 (hybrid gas/electric) model, which is supposed to be super energy-efficient. I called the installer to come and put in a programmable thermostat for me so that I could have the house cool down for sleeping and while I am at work; and warm up for when I am awake/and for weekends. They said that it is not recommended that you use a programmable thermostat with the xv90, but they couldn't tell me why. I then called Trane, who couldn't really explain it to me either. I posed the question as to whether it would harm the unit if I used a programmable thermostat or if there was some other reason. Apparently it was some other reason, and that reason being energy efficiency. Well, to heck with that - I need to be comfortable so that I can sleep! The guy at Trane told me that the furnace is designed to run at 73 degrees f - constantly. This is way too warm for me for nighttime. He said that lowering the temperature by more than one degree may create conditions where it would never be able to warm the house up again until the weather got warmer. What the heck? If this thing ever dies I will replace it with a standard model. My programmable thermostat will more than make up the difference in energy consumption. Good grief! Aside from that, the unit does run quietly most of the time. I can hear it running (it's in the basement) only when I am in the room directly above it. It generates a nice amount of heat. So, if you are going to keep the thermostat at the same temperature for 24/7, then this model is acceptable.

"Trane quality"
I have replaced the igniter on my xe80 furnace twice since owning it. The first one lasted only 2 years. Second one lasted 4 years. So far no need to replace the last one. Overall, am satisfied.

Satisfaction Rating:
I purchased two Trane HVAC systems. One of the furnaces failed after six hours of operation. One of the AC units failed after 14 months of operation. Both items were covered under warranty but this is far from the premium performance they claim. Their dealer also denied me the offered $1000 rebate for my units. Talking to Trane HQ is a waste of time. They never responded to my complaints. I woudl recommend buying from someone that knows what customer service is.

After the Switch
By: Downing Bolls
Updated: February 20, 2009
Remember, this was suppose to be the earth-shaking arrival of 21st Century technology and an end to the way people have gotten television since it signed on the air more than half a century ago.
If it was suppose to be the dawning of a new day, it fell terribly short of the hype and here's why: the government, some viewers, and some broadcasters simply weren't ready for an event they have known was approaching for more than a year.
Even if you live in a cave on a remote island somewhere you knew this was coming.
The biggest problem, the government's coupon program for converter boxes ran out of money thanks to an 11th hour rush of customers to get the boxes.
You'd think that someone should have anticipated that given people propensity to wait until the last day to do things.
The government pushed the implementation day back four months to June 12th and some are already beginning to wonder if it will happen then.
Still, hundreds of TV stations made the switch from analog to digital.
So, how did it go?
In South Bend, Indiana, cheers resounded in the control room as NBC-affiliate WNDU switched from analog to digital.
They are probably cheering because it meant they don't have to run any of those annoying commercials or crawls across the screen anymore.
While the switch shouldn't have impacted viewers with cable TV or satellite dishes, there is no word yet on how many people lost their TV reception altogether.
Meanwhile, in Fargo, North Dakota, NBC-affiliate KVLY got a ton of phone calls: hundreds of questions for the engineers and those calls didn't let up.
The night before, the stations' engineers teamed up with prairie public TV to staff a phone bank.
Between six o'clock and nine o'clock, the group answered more than 500 calls from confused viewers.
They also aired a half-hour show to explain how to use a digital converter box and who may need additional equipment such as antennas.
A tale of two stations: the best of times, the worst of times -- lessons the rest of us can learn as June approaches.
By the way, no matter how frustrated the DTV changeover makes you, don't be like the guy Thursday in Joplin, Missouri.
Police were called to his house after reports of gunfire.
Turns out that he was frustrated because he couldn't get his converter box to work.
He was charged with unlawful use of a firearm.

Kids used to walk into a restaurant and be happy with chicken nuggets, fries and a flimsy dinosaur toy. After beefing up restaurant sales for decades, a new report shows sales of kids meals are on the wane with children no longer craving the pint-size servings with toys as they once did.
Better meal deals, economic factors, fewer children's birthday parties at restaurants and a big push toward more healthful options led to a 6 percent decline in orders of kids' meals with a toy in 2011, compared to 2010, according to the report from NPD Group.
But, according to industry experts, two other trends are driving the changes in children's menus: Children seem to have more sophisticated palates today, and there's a desire to seem more mature at a younger age. Kids who are accustomed to playing Xbox and other game systems at younger and younger ages don't want kids' meal toys. With more than 1.2 billion children's meals sold annually, these special menu items aren't going away soon. But kids' meals are growing up.
Big national chains, including Texas Roadhouse, Red Lobster and Applebee's, along with some small, locally owned restaurants, are adapting to the changing appetites of younger patrons. Kids can order apples instead of fries, and freshly made pasta and English peas rather than fried chicken tenders and hot dogs. And tweens and teens are getting their own transitional menu items.
Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant industry researcher at NPD Group, said children and their parents are responding to the promotions and packaging for healthful choices. They are eating fewer fries, carbonated drinks and desserts, and more fruit, smoothies and non-fried chicken.
A year ago, for example, Jack in the Box stopped putting toys in children's meals and added options like Chiquita Apple Bites with caramel in its Kid's Combo Meals.
"They are more appealing to a parent than packaging a toy with lower quality," said Brian Luscomb, spokesman for Jack in the Box.
Of course, when you think of children's meals and toys, the McDonald's Happy Meal is the category king. Introduced in 1979, Happy Meals account for about 10 percent of McDonald's sales. But sales of Happy Meals were flat to slightly down in the first quarter of this year, said Neil Getzlow, a spokesman for the chain.
McDonald's said it was showing its commitment to children's well-being by trimming the calorie count of its Happy Meal. "Families are eating differently than they used to when they go out," McDonald's said in a statement. "They may order a Happy Meal ... or they may share Chicken McNuggets, fries and then get their own drinks."
"Kids are getting about one-third of their calories from eating out," said Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest. "Studies show the more often they eat out, the more likely they are to be obese. Children's menus have become synonymous with junk food and it should be just the opposite."
Indeed, "healthful children's menus" is one of the top menu trends in the National Restaurant Association's "What's Hot in 2012" survey of 1,800 professional chefs, including offering more whole-grain items for children.
"Consumers are going in and demanding more healthful items and restaurants are providing them," said Joy Dubost, director of nutrition for the Washington-based association.

Libyan army troops raided a former military base in Tripoli Sunday, kicking out a rogue infantry brigade and detaining its members.
The raid came shortly after the army issued an ultimatum giving unauthorized militias 48 hours to withdraw from military compounds, public buildings and property belonging to members of the former regime in the country's capital and surrounding areas. A statement from the army vowed to "use force to carry out these orders," the state-run LANA news agency said.
The brigade targeted by troops Sunday had not been following orders from Libya's military command, the Libyan army's National Mobile Force said in a statement posted on its Facebook page.
Militias and other unauthorized armed groups have come under increased scrutiny since individuals from a radical Islamist group were accused of involvement in the attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi earlier this month that left four Americans dead.
Mohamed al-Magariaf, president of Libya's General National Congress, has said rogue militias would be disbanded.
On Friday, hundreds marched in the eastern city of Benghazi and took over the headquarters of Islamist militia Ansar al Sharia. Protesters Friday demanded an end to all security activities of armed groups operating outside the official command of the army or police.
On Saturday, state news and a source said two Islamist militias had agreed to close their bases in the eastern Libyan city of Derna. A third base will be shut on Sunday, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The state-run LANA news agency said the militias, which it identified as Bou Salim Martyrs and Ansar al Sharia, will also disband.
Members of Ansar al Sharia are among the eight people detained in connection with the September 11 assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya's prime minister said last week, though he added that not all the attackers came from one specific group.
Initial reports indicated that, ahead of the consular attack, Ansar al Sharia had organized a protest to decry an inflammatory film that mocks the Prophet Mohammed and also protest the United States, where the film was privately produced.

Slip covers are so the way to go! You can change a whole look of a room for very little $$$! I love your white slip cover-If you wouldn't have said it was a slip cover I would have thought you got a new couch-It looks just like my moms! Beautiful!
Looking forward to seeing what you are up to girl!
Robin~♥Wow! I think I'm loving it! I can't wait to see what you put on it!
I admit I'm a bit jealous...your house looks like our previous house w/the pale colored walls and wood floors (ours were almost black) but I just love the look of the paint against the trim....Oh, how I miss our old house!Oh Susie, that slipcover turned out just wonderful. I never had a slipcover fit like that. IKEA is definitely on my list for a visit :)
I am really liking this white look but having a hard time figuring out how to pull it off? How do you pick white, creamy white, soft white???
Have a wonderful dayOH WOW!! It looks fabulous!! I have wanted a white slipcover couch for years! Ever since I first fell in love with Rachel Ashwell's first Shabby Chic book! I never have bought one, though, because no matter how many people say otherwise, I cannot believe you can just wash away all the terrible stains my 3 boys and hubby may inflict on it! But if I found one for $30 like you did, I would definitely try it!! What a great deal! It's just beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteSusie I am kicking myself! Why oh why did I not check ebay!!! I just bought a canvas colored slipcover at Target yesterday for $49. It's ok, but I REALLY wanted white! My couch isn't IKEA...it's my grandma's old sleeper, still in great condition. Maybe it's not too late to find the packaging in the recycling bin. Off to check ebay!
ReplyDeleteI just bought couches from Ikea and love the slipcovered look!! I have 2 covers that I bought from the store and i just found a set that was discontinued on eBay. I LOVE THEM!!
When I was at Ikea in Portland 2 weeks ago they had the white covers on clearance. The love seat covers where $11 and the sofa was $29. Did I buy any white? Nope, it scared me too much with my 5 kids....... Maybe when they get a little older.Hi Susie, thanks for stopping by and leaving your great comment. I "think" I know what look I want, now to achieve it.
This is where I need you assistance, please :) I could not figure out where I saw that wonderful mirror tutorial, it was you. Anyway, I want to make my cabinets looks like the finish on your mirror. My husband said to ask you, because he just wants to get it done at this point.(He is done experimenting I guess ;)
You could email me or post it, if you would be so kind and have time.
I also love that screen door/chalkboard.
Thanks for always being so inspiring and sweet.Susie,
It's so funny because my SISTER loves your blog and always says to me on the phone (she lives in Iowa) "Did you see what Susie did to her house?" Or last night was......."Did you see the new thing Susie did to her couch?"
Cracks me up. But yet...she will never comment on here because she doesn't know how. I just got her to join Facebook. HA!
Maybe one day.....for now we will chat about what great things you have accomplished this day.Ok..so I am starting to feel like all the cool kids are getting slipcovers. ARgh! This reminds me of the leather jacket incident in 7th grade! I had a chat with Mr. B and he is just now ready for the commitment to white slipcovers. Haha...he is going on a trip in July. Wonder if I can find someone to whip up a few for me? (Afterall I think that project may be a tad too much for my sectional.)
Love your Cloud 9! Love it! And can't wait to see what crowns this gem.
ei can't remember who left the comment, but the ikea sofa that slipcover is made for is called EKTORP. i bought one a few months ago when they were giving away a free white slipcover if you bought the couch. so i bought the couch, with the white slipcover, and got a free white slipcover too. AND, the white (and only the white... the other colors and prints are pretty spendy) is only $49.00 brand new.

Could they make her jail stay a lot more unpleasant so that's she so terrified she spills her guts?? I like the idea I read on one website where they should tie her up and drop her off in the middle of a desert. Then not tell anyone where she is. Tell her she needs to see how her son feels.
I have yet to see a picture of her that looks anything like any other picture of her. She looks totally different in all pictures. Is that a sign of craziness??
