Dublin, Oct. 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3v472j/iphone_5_mems)
has announced the addition of the "iPhone
5 MEMS Microphones AAC - Reverse Costing Analysis" report to
their offering.
Apple initiated the trend of integrating three MEMS microphones
with the iPhone 5. Two manufacturers compete to integrate their
analog microphones, Knowles which largely dominates the MEMS
microphone market (with half of the business) and AAC which is
ranked No. 2 but is the main source for the iPhone5. Both
components are interchangeable in the iPhone
5, thus providing similar package/functionalities/price but
with two different processes.
AAC Technologies continues to rely on Infineon for the production
and design of the MEMS die, but compared to the ones integrated in
the previous iPhone the new design integrates corrugations in the
membrane allowing to relieve stress under maximum strain.
The MEMS Microphone uses a free-floating diaphragm.
The common sensing principle is capacitive.
The component is provided in a specific 3-pins package, compatible
with SMD process.
This report provides a complete teardown of the MEMS microphones
with:
- Detailed photos
- Material analysis
- Schematic assembly description
- Manufacturing Process Flow
- In- depth manufacturing cost analysis
- Supply chain evaluation
- Selling price estimation
Key Topics Covered
- Glossary
- Overview/Introduction
- Companies Profile
- iPhone 5 Teardown
- Physical Analysis
- Manufacturing Process Flow
- Cost Analysis
This publication is part of a set of two reports highlighting the first two MEMS microphone suppliers competing with new design in Apple iPhone 5 smartphone. The two reports are available separately or you can benefit from a special bundle offer buying both of them.
