Abstract

An apparatus for testing a transducer module includes a test signal generator coupled to a common-mode terminal common to a plurality of transducers, and a signal processing circuit configured to receive output signal from each of said transducers and to produce an output signal. If the transducers are well matched to one another, the output signal will have little or no output amplitude. If there is a mismatch between the transducers, however, the output signal will have an amplitude proportional to the mismatch. The amplitude of the output signal may be compared to a predetermined threshold in order to produce a mismatch output signal indicating the existence of, and/or the degree of, mismatch between the transducers.
