AS3501 AS3502 Data Sheet Low Power Ambient Noise-Cancelling Speaker Driver 1 General Description The AS3501/02 are speaker driver with Ambient Noise Cancelling function for headsets, 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 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. The filter loop is optimized by the user for specific headset electrical and mechanical designs by dimensioning simple R, C components. Most headset implementations will make use of a single noise detecting microphone. Two microphones could be used to allow for increased flexibility of ...
