MEMS SPEAKERS
ADAP UT-P2019 | DATASHEET
Adap MEMS speakers are ideal for free-field
audio solutions such as wearables. Thanks
to its small size and low weight, Adap offers
maximum flexibility for outstanding design
approaches. Providing a wide bandwidth, it
enables high-res audio applications. Adap
produces tangible, clear and rich sound,
immersing the listener into their personal
audio environment.

The boost converter is configured to provide a constant 15 VDC offset for the amplifier. The amplifier circuit
itself is based on the typical application diagram from the LM48580 datasheet. It is based on a single-ended
input signal but can also be modified according to the datasheet to a differential input.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE USING
THE CARME TEST BOX IN FREE FIELD
To analyse the performance of the Adap MEMS
speakers, the Carme test box is available. With a back
volume of 100 mm³, Carme provides the necessary
sealing to avoid an acoustic short circuit and offers a
convenient way to connect Adap to USound‘s linear
amplifier, Amalthea.
To set up the Carme test box, unscrew and separate
the PCB from the shell. Remove the housing gasket
and place the MEMS speaker with the contact side up.
Place the PCB by taking care to match the orientation
marks with those on the speaker. Tighten the screws
for proper sealing. Using the Carme test box, Adap
MEMS speakers can be measured in free field.

(-) green. The colour coding matches the outputs
of Amalthea

HANDLING
GENERAL
It needs to be considered that MEMS devices consist of silicon structures, and therefore, they should be
handled with care. Any bending of the MEMS speakers must be avoided while handling, during the assembly
process and when permanently inside an application, otherwise the speaker can be damaged.
TWEEZERS
It is recommended to grab the speakers from the sides with blunt curved tweezers and avoid touching the
membrane in any case to preserve its functionality and form. Using sharp tweezers while manipulating the
speakers can lead to accidentally piercing the membrane and to a loss of functionality.
The risk to damage the speaker can be further minimized if the speaker is handled with the membrane facing
down, as shown in the picture below.

INTEGRATION
It needs to be considered that MEMS devices consist of silicon structures, and therefore, they should be
handled with care. Any bending of the MEMS speakers must be avoided while handling, during the assembly
process and when permanently inside an application, otherwise the speaker can be damaged.
To avoid bending of the speaker, it’s recommended that just the defined contact areas are in touch with the
application at front side and back side of the speaker.

CONNECTIVITY
+
The speaker is driven by applying voltage between
the + and the - connection. The potential of + has to
be always equal or higher than the -. To ensure this
a DC voltage together with the AC signal has to be
applied on +.
Attention: The AC peak voltage must always be
smaller than or equal to the DC voltage.
The membrane will move downwards/inside by applying a positive voltage on the + connection.
