Abstract

A digital microphone compresses a large voltage swing signal from a MEMS capacitor to a signal suitable for processing by integrated circuitry. The compression may be performed in an analog domain by selectively coupling adjustment capacitors in parallel to the MEMS capacitor. The digital microphone may decompress the signal in the digital domain using a decompression technique substantially an inverse of the compression performed in the analog domain.
