Summary, in English

A microphone system, comprising two differentially-operated MEMS microphones and a CMOS differential amplifier mounted on a common die substrate, has a very small volume of 2.6x3.2x0.865mm3, showing a record-high SNR of 66dB over the 20Hz-20kHz audio band. The system sensitivity is -33.5dB (Vrms/Pa), PSRR is above 55dB, and THD is below 1% for sound pressure levels below 112dB. The current consumption is 120μA from a 1.8V power supply.
