Dell Chromebook 11 3180 - Integrated Microphone; Bluetooth

Integrated microphone
This page contains all the information about the Dell integrated microphone.
Akustica AKU240 is an HD Voice quality, top port, digital output MEMS microphone in a small 4.0 x 3.0 x 1.0 mm package. The robust digital
output stream from the AKU240 is virtually immune to all forms of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) allowing the microphone to be integrated anywhere on the platform regardless of proximity to displays, the Wi-Fi antennae, or other
sources of interference that would degrade the signal of conventional analog microphones. For the device manufacturer, this translates to a
higher degree of design exibility by providing a consistent SNR level regardless of environment, resulting in shorter design cycles.
The output of the microphone is pulse density modulated (PDM), a single-bit digital output stream designed to enable the multiplexing of
stereo microphone data onto a single wire. With a user selectable Left/Right channel option, the AKU240 is ideal for use in multiple
microphone applications.
