Vesper Introduces Analog Piezoelectric Voice Accelerometer for True Wireless Earbuds

Vesper introduced the VA1200, which the company calls the world’s first analog piezoelectric voice accelerometer (a.k.a. bone conduction sensor). This low-power vibration sensor can be used in true wireless earbud designs to pick up the wearer’s own voice through bone conduction. Using the VA1200 in conjunction with a standard microphone and a sensor fusion solution, the application can achieve superior background and wind noise reduction. Vesper calls this combination OnePlusOne.

TDK Launches Inductors for Small Power Systems in True Wireless Stereo Devices

TDK Corporation has developed the PLEA67 Series of inductors for use in true wireless stereo (TWS) devices. TDK’s original structure design and newly developed materials in the new thin-film power inductors achieve a rated current of 500mA in a small-sized component with an inductance of 2.2μH. The unique magnetic shield structure reduces magnetic flux leakage, while the low-loss magnetic material provides a highly efficient power supply circuit, ideal for small power supply and low power consumption Bluetooth LE modules.
