AS3400 AS3410 AS3430
Low Power Ambient Noise-Cancelling Speaker Driver
www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.02 1 - 51
1 General Description
The AS3400/10/30 are speaker driver with Ambient Noise Cancelling
function for handsets, headphones or ear pieces. It is intended to
improve quality of e.g. music listening, a phone conversation etc. by
reducing background ambient noise.
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 AS3400/10/30 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 low
frequency background noise. The feed-back topology with either 1 or
2 filtering stages can be used to reduce noise for a larger frequency
range, and to even implement transfer functions like speaker
equalization, Baxandall equalization, high/low shelving filter and to
set a predefined loop bandwidth.
The filter loop is optimized by the user for specific handset electrical
and mechanical designs by dimensioning simple R, C components.
Most handset implementations will make use of a single noise
detecting microphone. Two microphones could be used to allow for
increased flexibility of their location in the handset mechanical
design. Using the bridged mode allows to even drive high impedance
headsets.
