The company, which was spun off from a Carnegie Mellon University project in 2001, announced this week the AKU2000, a single-chip microphone that can be produced on standard silicon processes.

"With the consumer electronics industry recognizing the demand for improved voice input quality, our launch of the world's first single-chip microphones could not come at a better time," said Jim Rock ...

Fabricated on a MEMS CMOS process, these tiny, low-cost ICs solve acoustic performance issues for many computing and consumer electronics devices. Spurred on by advances in MEMS CMOS processing, a ...
