Abstract:
1. A microphone arrangement, comprising: an SMD housing; a sound inlet opening; a transducer that receives sound waves through the sound inlet opening and produces electrical signals that correspond to the received sound waves; an analog-to-digital converter for providing digital signals; an interface control unit with a digital interface that can be used to transmit data serially to an external device; and at least one further interface to which a peripheral device can be connected such that the at least one further interface can be used to transmit data between peripheral devices and the interface control unit, wherein the transducer, the analog-to-digital converter, the interface control unit and the at least one further interface are integrated in the SMD housing, or wherein the transducer and the analog-to-digital converter are integrated in the SMD housing and the interface control unit and the at least one further interface are integrated in a second SMD housing, wherein the microphone arrangement and the peripheral device are configured to transmit data to the external device serially and/or wherein the external device is configured to transmit data to the microphone arrangement and to the peripheral device serially, wherein the microphone arrangement is configured such that if data are transmitted from the external device to the peripheral device, the data are first of all forwarded to the interface control unit by means of the digital interface and the interface control unit routes the data via the further interface to the peripheral device.
