A device includes: a lead frame having an aperture in a central portion thereof; at least one acoustic transducer mounted on the lead frame above the aperture and configured to convert between acoustic energy and an electrical signal with low signal losses; a housing connected to the lead frame and including a base portion on a same side of the lead frame as the acoustic transducer; an amplifier is provided on a base portion of the housing in close proximity to the acoustic transducer; and a lid configured together with the base portion of the housing to define a cavity, wherein the acoustic transducer and the amplifier are closely positioned within the MEMS device cavity.

Packaged device with acoustic transducer and amplifier

A device includes: a substrate having an aperture therethrough from a first side of the substrate to a second side of the substrate; a semiconductor die having an acoustic transducer, the semiconductor die being provided on the first side of the substrate such that the acoustic transducer is aligned with the aperture in the substrate; and a dual in-line package having a recess formed therein. The substrate is disposed such that the first side of the substrate faces the recess of the dual in-line package, and the semiconductor die is disposed between the first side of the substrate and the bottom surface of the recess in the dual in-line package.
