Abstract
In one example, an audio device includes a substrate, a first piezoelectric flap, a second piezoelectric flap, a transmit circuit, a first receive circuit, a switch circuit, and a second receive circuit. The substrate has an opening. The first piezoelectric flap has a first end on the substrate and extending over the opening, the first piezoelectric flap having first and second terminals. The second piezoelectric flap has a second end on the substrate and extending over the opening, the second piezoelectric flap spaced from the first piezoelectric flap, the second piezoelectric flap having third and fourth terminals. The transmit circuit has driver outputs. The first receive circuit has first receiver inputs. The switch circuit coupled to the driver outputs and the first receiver inputs, and the first and second terminals. The second receive circuit has second receiver inputs coupled to the third and fourth terminals.
