AS3415/AS3435
Integrated Active Noise Cancelling
Solution with Bypass Feature
The AS3415/35 are speaker drivers with Ambient Noise
Cancelling function for headsets, headphones or ear pieces.
They are intended to improve quality of e.g. music listening, a
phone conversation etc. by reducing background ambient
noise.
General Description
The fully analog implementation allows the lowest power
consumption, lowest system BOM cost and most natural
received voice enhancement otherwise difficult to achieve with
DSP implementations. The device is designed to be easily
applied to existing architectures.
An internal OTP-ROM can be optionally used to store the
microphones gain calibration settings. The AS3415/35 can be
used in different configurations for best trade-off of noise
cancellation, required filtering functions and mechanical
designs.
The simpler feed-forward topology is used to effectively reduce
frequencies typically up to 2-3 kHz. The feed-back topology
with either 1 or 2 filtering stages has its strengths especially at
very low frequencies. The typical bandwidth for a feed-back
system is from 20Hz up to 1 kHz which is lower than the
feed-forward systems.
The filter loop for both systems is determined by
measurements, for each specific headset individually, and
depends very much on mechanical designs. The gain and phase
compensation filter network is implemented with cheap
resistors and capacitors for lowest system costs.
