Chip puts active noise cancellation into bundled
headphones
AMS is claiming that noise cancellation is a market opportunity as it launches a speaker driver chip promising 30dB
of external noise attenuation.
25 pins, 2.2 x 2.2 x 0.4mm
AMS is claiming up to 30dB of external noise attenuation over 20Hz-2kHz from its latest speaker driver chip.
“AS3412 opens up mass market opportunity for active noise cancellation, it is ideal for use in the bundled head-sets
supplied with smartphones,” said the firm.
On-chip is proprietary analogue noise cancellation, combined with a speaker driver capable of delivering 2x34mW
into a 32Ω load.
“Unlike more complex digital implementations, the AS3412 only requires a small number of supporting components,
including a filter network composed of low-cost capacitors and resistors,” said AMS.
It operates from 1.6-1.8V, and is compatible with USB Type-C and Lightning inter-faces. Typical power
consumption in normal feed-forward operation, with a 260µA load for twin microphones, is 11.5mW.
A novel inclusion is integrated depletion-mode („on‟ with no power supply) mosfet switching which by-passes the
chip‟s electronics when power is removes, eliminating the need for electromechanical bypass switching – for
example when the battery goes flat.
Claimed audio performance is 112.5dB signal-to-noise ratio, and total harmonic distortion and noise figure of less
than 0.01%, at “a music output power” of 30mW, said AMS.
The package is 2.2 x 2.2 x 0.4mm, chip-scale.
“With the introduction of the AS3412, AMS is making it possible to fit active noise cancellation inside a traditional
hands-free headset dongle, even in low-cost headsets,” said marketing manager Anna Wutke.
There is a development kit including a software GUI, firmware and simulation environment.
