  • Electronic circuit for a microphone and microphone
    Patent number: 10516942
    Abstract: An electronic circuit for a microphone and a microphone are disclosed. In an embodiment, the electronic circuit includes a sigma-delta modulator having a configurable resolution and a mode selector, wherein the sigma-delta modulator is selectively operable in at least two operation modes and the mode selector is configured to determine a desired operation mode dependent on an externally provided control signal and to select the resolution of the sigma-delta modulator according to the determined operation mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 9, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 24, 2019
    Assignee: TDK CORPORATION
