GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 AS3501/02 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.
