The AS3410/30 combine a high quality (0.1% THD, >100dB SNR), true ground, audio headphone amplifier with all the necessary circuitry to enable superior performance Active Noise Cancellation, all at very low power consumption, specifically targeting Accessories.
The AS3410 is ideally suited for feed-forward topology, whereas AS3430 is better suited for feedback topology.
The speakers can be configured in single ended mode (2x 34mW @1.5V, 16Ω) or Bridge Tied Load (1x 109mW @1.5V, 16Ω) and the line-in gain is adjustable to allow for locally controlled volume setting.
The device contains an OTP-ROM to store calibration settings for the noise cancelling microphones, removing the need for the manually trimmed pots typically used. The OTP can also be used to store device configuration settings, allowing flexibility and differentiation for a broad end-product portfolio.
The device is designed to operate in both stand-alone mode, ideal for accessories, and embedded mode targeting MP3 players and other portable multimedia equipment.
The AS3410/30 also contain a monitor mode, allowing the user to attenuate Line-in, while amplifying the ambient noise. This is typically used to hear announcements in airports, without the need to remove the headset.
Typically powered directly off a AAA battery, the AS3410/30 tolerate 1.0V to 1.8V supply, and contain the necessary charge pumps to enable true ground operation, as well as providing a supply voltage for the microphones.
austriamicrosystems' ANC solutions address Receive Path Active Noise Cancelling with the objective to improve sound quality in and around portable consumer devices by reducing background ambient noise. The portfolio covers both feedforward and feedback topologies in both single ended stereo and mono BTL applications.
