ACHELOUS UT-P 2016 | DATASHEET

Achelous MEMS speakers are ideal for in-ear


audio solutions such as wired earphones or
true wireless systems (TWS). Thanks to its
small size and low weight, Achelous, offers
maximum flexibility for outstanding design
approaches. As a wide bandwidth speak-
er, it enables high-res audio applications.
Achelous produces vivid, clear and rich
sound, immersing the listener into their per-
sonal audio environment.

The boost converter is configured to provide a constant 15 VDC offset for the amplifier. The amplifier circuit is

signal but can be also modified according to the datasheet to a differential input.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE USING
THE CARME TEST BOX ON COUPLER

The test box Carme is available to analyse the per-


formance of Achelous MEMS speakers. 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 Achelous 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. To obtain the measurements be-
low, a gasket should be added on the front surface of Figure 11: Positive input (+) blue and negative input
Carme the box. The Carme box should be placed on (-) green. The colour coding matches the outputs
the core part of the coupler without the ear mould of Amalthea
adaptor.

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.

Figure 13: Left: Recommended tweezer type. Right: Not recommended tweezer type

INTEGRATION
It needs to be considered that MEMS devices consist of silicon structures, and therefore, they should be han-
dled 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 ap-


plying a positive voltage on the + connection.
