How do I minimize oscillation in this 2-wire electret MEMS microphone interface?
Circuit is as follows:
Ignoring the ground/shield separation at the audio jack, you get a two-wire interface at the plug. The FET does double duty as a minimum drop source follower power supply (DC) and mixer output (AC input via C2 after adding…

Help with finding the type of output for a mems mircophone
I am using this MEMS microphone for a stethoscope project. The data sheet recommends the following interface circuit.
I can't seem to find where it states specifically that it is a differential output instead of a single-ended one. Am I right in…

Can I connect a MEMS mic directly to this spectrum analyzer chip?
I have a ICS-40181 MEMS mic and want to do basic spectral analysis using the popular MSGEQ7 chip for the purpose of a sound reactive project.
Can I simply connect one into the other (with cap/res as directed) or do I need an amp between them?…

How to check if MEMS microphone is working?
I am using a MEMS microphone that I got from Digi Key ( Part Number: 1428-1021-1-ND). I soldered the mic on a PCB board using hot-air and then add an amplifier to increase the gain (Operational Amplifier Mouser Electronics 595-LPV802DGKR). I made…

How to remove INMP441 MEMS microphone low-frequency noise
I have code that allows me to record I2S audio from the INMP441 MEMS microphone module using an ESP32. The data is read from the data out pin of the device.
When I take the Fourier transform of this signal while recording a 2 kHz tone, I get a large…

How to connect a MEMS Microphone Breakout - INMP401 to a RN-52 bluetooth module?
I intended to use a INMP401 (MEMS MIC) to capture audio and stream it via bluetooth using an RN-52 bluetooth module (RN-52). The RN-52 has inputs for differential +- signals.
The INMP outputs single channel audio peak to peak at approximately…

I2S microphone data synchronization for left and right channel
I have I2S MEMS microphones (transmitters, stereo) in slave mode and a microcontroller in master mode.
When the WS pin iw 0 (low) the data available on the SD pin is for the left channel (microphone 1.) When the
WS pin is 1 (high) the data…
