Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a microphone assembly having shielding function for a motor vehicle, comprising: a microphone circuit board having a microphone, which is supplied by a differential audio bus such that the ground potential of the microphone is floating; a cover which is located outside the microphone circuit board; a foamy part which is located between the cover and the microphone circuit board; and a shielding film which is suitable for shielding the microphone against electrostatic discharge, wherein the shielding film is located between the cover and the foamy part and covers the outer surface of the foamy part, and wherein the shielding film is electrically conductive and grounded to a vehicle chassis ground potential. In this situation, the shielding film can collect electrostatic charges and guide them to the chassis ground of the vehicle, so that electronic components on the microphone circuit board under the shielding film, especially the microphones having the floating ground, can be shielded from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. As a result, the ESD robust performance of the microphone assembly is significantly improved.
