Abstract:
This application relates to transducer apparatus ( 300, 400 ), especially for MEMS capacitive transducers. The apparatus has a voltage bias generator ( 102 ) for receiving a supply voltage (V DD ) and generating a bias voltage (V B ) for biasing a capacitive transducer ( 101 ). A voltage supply path extends between a supply voltage input terminal ( 309 a ) and the voltage bias generator ( 102 ). A programmable trim circuit ( 207 ), in use, controls the bias voltage generated by the voltage bias generator. A first filter ( 301 ) is configured to applying filtering to the voltage supply path. A programming contact pad ( 308 ) is configured to form an external contact of the transducer apparatus when packaged and is electrically coupled to the programmable trim circuit via a signal path that does not include the first filter.

Claim (Index 16):
A transducer apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the apparatus is packaged within a shielded housing having a plurality of external package contacts electrically connected to the transducer apparatus within the housing and wherein the programming contact pad is one of said external package contacts.
