InvenSense Introduces Industry’s First 74 dB SNR Analog MEMS Microphone Enabling Far Field Audio Capture

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE:INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor platforms, today announced the world’s first 74 dB signal-to-noise (SNR) MEMS microphone for far field audio applications such as teleconference systems, voice controlled home and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The analog-output ICS-40730 delivers 74 dB SNR performance in a bottom port surface mount package. There are a growing number of applications that require reliable far field voice capture capability, such as speech recognition, key word detection, voice command, and high quality voice communications. The ICS-40730 addresses the stringent requirements of these applications by providing very low noise audio capture to beamforming and audio processing algorithms, improving the performance of the overall system.
