MEMS resonators continue to show potential

Startup companies are continuing to work on replacing traditional quartz  resonators with the more advantageous MEMS  devices.  We spoke with Discera's President and CEO Tom Willey about his company's recent activities, competition and future plans.

Sonion MEMS scales up its microphone business

We recently published a review on the current status of MEMS  microphones.  While Knowles Acoustics remains the market leader, companies such as Sonion and Akustica are also going after this exciting opportunity. 

We spoke with Dr. Jacob Philipsen, President of Sonion’s MEMS division, about the company’s current activities, competition, product pipeline and the process of transferring the microphone technology from a university lab prototype to a mass produced commercial product.
