he development of MEMS loudspeakers can be

compared to the development of the LED technology,

and will have similar effects on the audio industry as LED

had and still has on the video industry.

In general, MEMS loudspeakers offer several advantages:

• Seamless integration with electronic PCB, indeed the

speaker itself is built on a PCB substrate. Single or

multiple speakers can be easily integrated on the same

substrate together with other electronic components.

• Taking advantage of this seam less integration, USound

is able to provide a smart audio module with analog and

digital interface. This dramatically shortens the design

process of audio products, allowing the customer to

easily tune the audio response based on the specific

application needs.

• Lower power consumption. The MEMS speaker, due to

its own intrinsic high impedance demand lower driving

current.

MEMS speakers are a new technology and their full

potential has yet to be revealed, but already now, this

technology provides unique features and compelling

advantages compared to conventional speakers. In fast

evolving audio market, early adopters of MEMS technology

can provide unbeatable advantages to their end users.

Speaker Biography

Ferruccio Bottoni has almost 20 years of experience in semiconductor

and MEMS industry. He started in 1995 at STMicroelectronics working on

the flash memories. Subsequently he joined Robert Bosch GmbH in 1999

were he contributed to the ramp-up of MEMS in the automotive markets.

He finally joined Sensor Dynamics in 2009 as VP operations and he has

retained this position until 2013. During his career, he has held several

positions as quality and reliability engineer, process manufacturing

manager, technical purchasing manager and VP operations.
