Abstract

In various embodiments, a circuit is provided. The circuit includes: a voltage biasing circuit coupled to a microelectro-mechanical system (MEMS) microphone sensor, the MEMS microphone sensor coupled to a driver circuit, and the driver circuit coupled to an oscillator-based ADC circuit. The oscillator-based ADC circuit may include an Nth order sigma-delta modulator, where N is an integer equal to or greater than 1.
