An audio MEMS sensor is an electro-acoustic transducer housing a sensor (MEMS) and an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) in a single package.
Audio capture is now an important element of ambient awareness. Contextual awareness and voice processing abilities contribute to a more unique and personalized user experience.
