Power consumption is measured with one Achelous MEMS speaker, including the typical driving circuitry with
the DC boost converter TPS61046 and the amplifier TI LM4858. The main blocks are presented in Figure 2
and Figure 3.

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

USound is also required for elimination of equipment and test method variation.

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
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.
