Abstract: In various embodiments, a circuit arrangement is provided. The circuit arrangement includes a sensor set up to provide an analogue signal, an analogue/digital converter set up to receive the analogue signal and to provide a first signal, and a first filter set up to receive a signal based on the first signal and to provide a second signal. The first filter is set up in such a manner that the second signal is allowed through without amplification or substantially without amplification in a frequency range of approximately 20 Hz to approximately 10 kHz, and the second signal has a gain of greater than 0 dB at least above a predefined frequency which is greater than approximately 20 kHz.

Abstract: An embodiment amplifier circuit includes a pair of subcircuits that includes a first subcircuit and a second subcircuit, each of which includes a buffer amplifier and a feedback circuit that includes a feedback capacitor. The amplifier circuit also includes a pair of output terminals. The first subcircuit and the second subcircuit each generate a different output signal of a pair of output signals that includes a first output signal and a second output signal. The amplifier circuit is configured for receiving a positive differential input signal at the first subcircuit, receiving a negative differential input signal at the second subcircuit, and receiving the pair of output signals at the pair of output terminals.

Abstract: A MEMS transducer structure comprises a substrate comprising a cavity. A membrane layer is supported relative to the substrate to provide a flexible membrane. A peripheral edge of the cavity defines at least one perimeter region that is convex with reference to the center of the cavity. The peripheral edge of the cavity may further define at least one perimeter region that is concave with reference to the center of the cavity.

Abstract: A vibration sensor having a moveable mass being suspended in a suspension member and being adapted to move in response to vibrations or accelerations. The moveable mass and the suspension member are rigidly connected across one or more gaps formed by respective opposing surfaces of the moveable mass and the suspension member. The vibration sensor includes a damping arrangement having a damping substance. The moveable mass is arranged to interact directly or indirectly with the damping substance in order to reduce a mechanical resonance peak of the vibration sensor.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a microphone system may include a deformable element that may be made of a material that is subject to deformation in response to external phenomenon. Sensing ports may be in contact with a respective region of the deformable element and may be configured to sense a deformation of a region of the deformable element and generate a signal in response thereto. The plurality of signals may be useable to determine spatial dependencies of the external phenomenon. The external phenomenon may be pressure and the signals may be useable to determine spatial dependencies of the pressure.
