  • Publication number: 20130142374
    Abstract: A microphone assembly, in which a microphone component and an ear set component are formed on the same printed circuit board, and a method of manufacturing the microphone assembly. In the microphone assembly, one electrode of a power supplier is connected to a diaphragm assembly through a grounding pattern of the PCB and a mike cell case and the other electrode of the power supplier is supplied to a back electrode plate through a conductive member to charge two electrodes. When an acoustic signal is input to the mike cell unit, the diaphragm assembly vibrates, and thus, an electrostatic capacity of the mike cell unit changes. The acoustic signal is transmitted to a field effect transistor (FET) mounted outside the mike cell unit along a signal pattern of the PCB and is processed by the FET.
