ICsense designs ASIC for world's first MEMS speaker

Audio Pixels Holdings Limited has selected ICsense to design high-voltage ASIC chips for driving its MEMS based digital speakers. Audio Pixels has designed and patented low cost micro-electro mechanical ("MEMS") digital speakers to convert digital audio signal into sound waves. "The wealth of knowledge and experience demonstrated by ICsense throughout a rather intense qualification process, provided us with the unwavering confidence that we have selected an ideal partner for our ASIC design needs," said Yuval Cohen, Chief Technology Officer of Audio Pixels. "Additionally, ICsense's turnkey approach which includes test and manufacturing services, delivers an efficient and cost effective mass-production solution to seamlessly integrate the High-Voltage ASIC driver with our MEMS structure." "We are proud that Audio Pixels has selected ICsense to design and supply the high-voltage ASIC for the world's first digital MEMS speaker. This unique development will benefit from ICsense's long track record in MEMS ASICs. But at the same time, it will pose exciting challenges, since it combines innovative MEMS technology, high-voltage operation and disruptive speaker performance," explains Bram De Muer, CEO and co-founder of ICsense. "We look forward to be part of Audio Pixels's MEMS digital speakers that will change the way we perceive voice and music on future electronic devices." ...
