Description

The INSPIRIA GA3285 is ON Semiconductor’s premiere DSP product designed on an advanced hardware platform. Combining the power and capabilities of the hardware platform together with Advanced Research, the Inspiria GA3285 delivers cutting −edge features and high performance. The hardware platform is ON Semiconductor’s industry −leading programmable digital signal processing platform. Advanced Research, developed by ON Semiconductor, is a methodology that couples state−of−the−art acoustic algorithms to ensure high −fidelity digital sound quality. The Inspiria GA3285 iLog /C0116 Datalogging feature records various parameters every 15 minutes during use of the device. Once these parameter values are read from the device, they can be used to counsel the user and fine tune the fitting. The Inspiria GA3285’s Adaptive Noise Reduction monitors noise levels independently in 128 individual bands and employs advanced psychoacoustic models to provide user comfort. Based on a phase cancellation method, Inspiria GA3285’s adaptive feedback reduction algorithm provides an increase in added stable gain. It features rapid adjustment for dynamic feedback situations and resistance to tonal inputs. ON Semiconductor’s Automatic Adaptive Directional Microphone (ADM) algorithm is a two −microphone processing scheme. The algorithm automatically reduces the level of sound sources that originate from behind or the side of the hearing −aid wearer without affecting sounds from the front by adjusting the null in the microphone polar pattern to minimize the noise level at the output of the ADM. To reduce current consumption, the algorithm can switch automatically between 1 mic omni and ADM depending on the acoustic environment. The Inspiria GA3285 is equipped with a noise source that can be used in treating tinnitus. The Tinnitus Treatment noise can be shaped and attenuated and then summed into the audio path either before or after the volume control. The Narrow −band Noise Stimulus feature allows the user to generate stimuli from the device that can be used for in situ audiometry. In addition to these adaptive algorithms, the Inspiria GA3285 also supports the following features: up to 8 channel WDRC, FRONTW A VE ® directional processing, cross fading between audio paths for click −free memory changes, 16 −band graphic equalizer, 8 generic biquad filters (configurable as parametric or other filter types), programming speed enhancements, optional peak clipping, flexible compression adjustments, programmable tones for memory change and low battery indicators, volume control, and industry −leading security features to avoid cloning and software piracy. www.onsemi.com

The last stage in the signal path is the D/A H−bridge. White noise can be shaped, attenuated and then added into the signal path at two possible locations: before the V olume Control (between the Wideband Gain and the V olume Control) or after the Volume Control (between post 4 and the Peak Clipper) as shown in Figure 1. FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DESCRIPTION Adaptive Feedback Canceller The Adaptive Feedback Canceller (AFC) reduces acoustic feedback by forming an estimate of the hearing aid feedback signal and then subtracting this estimate from the hearing aid input. The forward path of the hearing aid is not affected. Unlike adaptive notch filter approaches, the Inspiria GA3285’s AFC does not reduce the hearing aid’s gain. The AFC is based on a time −domain model of the feedback path. The third-generation AFC (see Figure 5) allows for an increase in the stable gain1 of the hearing instrument while minimizing artefacts for music and tonal input signals. As with previous products, the feedback canceller provides completely automatic operation. The feedback canceller can be activated in any front−end mode except for Telecoil−only or DAI−only mode. (Added stable gain will vary based on hearing aid style and acoustic setup. Please refer to the Adaptive Feedback Cancellation Information note for more details.) When the AFC is enabled, it is highly recommended that you either have all channels with Squelch ON or all channels with Squelch OFF. If you choose to have all channels with Squelch ON then there is an additional requirement to have all Squelch thresholds above the microphone noise floor. If you require any assistance in determining what threshold levels to set, please contact the applications department at ON Semiconductor. Squelch ON/OFF does not incur any current penalty. When Squelch and AFC are both ON, the Squelch is limited to 1:2 expansion.

• Signal−to−Noise Ratio (SNR)
• Masking threshold
• Dynamics of the SNR per band The SNR in each band determines the maximum amount of attenuation to be applied to the band − the poorer the SNR, the greater the amount of attenuation. Simultaneously, in each band, the masking threshold variations resulting from

www.onsemi.com the energy in other adjacent bands is taken into account. Finally, the noise reduction gain is also adjusted to take advantage of the natural masking of ‘noisy’ bands by speech bands over time. Based on this approach, only enough attenuation is applied to bring the energy in each ‘noisy’ band to just below the masking threshold. This prevents excessive amounts of attenuation from being applied and thereby reduces unwanted artifacts and audio distortion. The Noise Reduction algorithm efficiently removes a wide variety of types of noise, while retaining natural speech quality and level. Directional Microphones In any directional mode, the circuitry includes a fixed filter for compensating the sensitivity and frequency response differences between microphones. The filter parameters are adjusted during product calibration. A dedicated biquad filter following the directional block has been allocated for low frequency equalization to compensate for the 6 dB/octave roll −off in frequency response that occurs in directional mode. The amount of low frequency equalization that is applied is programmable. ON Semiconductor recommends using matched microphones. The maximum spacing between the front and rear microphones cannot exceed 20 mm (0.787 in). Adaptive Directional Microphones ON Semiconductor’s Adaptive Directional Microphone (ADM) algorithm is a two−microphone processing scheme for hearing aids. It is designed to automatically reduce the level of sound sources that originate from behind or the side of the hearing−aid wearer without affecting sounds from the front. The algorithm accomplishes this by adjusting the null in the microphone polar pattern to minimize the noise level at the output of the ADM. The discrimination between desired signal and noise is based entirely on the direction of arrival with respect to the hearing aid: sounds from the front hemisphere are passed unattenuated whereas sounds arriving from the rear hemisphere are reduced. The angular location of the null in the microphone polar pattern is continuously variable over a range of 90 to 180 degrees where 0 degrees represents the front. The location of the null in the microphone pattern is influenced by the nature of the acoustic signals (spectral content, direction of arrival) as well as the acoustical characteristics of the room. The ADM algorithm steers a single, broadband null to a location that minimizes the output noise power. If a specific noise signal has frequency components that are dominant, then these will have a larger influence on the null location than a weaker signal at a different location. In addition, the position of the null is affected by acoustic reflections. The presence of an acoustic reflection may cause a noise source to appear as if it originates at a location other than the true location. In this case, the ADM algorithm chooses a compromise null location that minimizes the level of noise at the ADM output. Automatic Adaptive Directional Microphones When Automatic ADM mode is selected and the ambient sound level is above threshold and the polar pattern has adapted to something other than omni directional then the adaptive polar pattern is enabled. If the polar pattern adapts to omni directional then the algorithm will switch to single microphone, omnidirectional mode to reduce current consumption. FrontWave Directionality The FrontWave block provides the resources necessary to implement directional microphone processing. The block accepts inputs from both a front and rear microphone and provides a synthesized directional microphone signal as its output. The directional microphone output is obtained by delaying the rear microphone signal and subtracting it from the front microphone signal. Various microphone response patterns can be obtained by adjusting the time delay. In−Situ Datalogging − iLog 1.0 The Inspiria GA3285 has a datalogging function that records information every 15 minutes about the state of the hearing aid and its environment to non −volatile memory. The function can be enabled with the ARK software and information collection will begin the next time the hybrid is powered up. This information is recorded over time and can be downloaded for analysis. The following parameters are sampled every 15 minutes:

• Battery level
• V olume control setting
• Program memory selection
• Ambient sound level
• Length of time the hearing aid was powered on The information is recorded using two methods in parallel:
• Short−term method − a circular buffer is serially filled with entries that record the state of the first four of the above variables every 15 minutes.
• Long−term method − increments a counter based on the memory state every 15 minutes. Based on the value stored in the counter, length of time the hearing aid was powered on can be calculated. There are 186 log entries plus 4 memory select counters which are all protected using a checksum verification. A new log entry is made whenever there is a change in memory state, volume control, or battery level state. A new log entry can also be optionally made when the environmental sound level changes more than the programmed threshold, thus it is possible to log only significantly large changes in the environmental level, or not log them at all.

www.onsemi.com on in all channels and that the Squelch thresholds be set above the microphone noise floor (see Adaptive Feedback Canceller). The number of compression channels is programmable in ARKonline ® and can be 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8. Telecoil Path The telecoil input is calibrated during the Cal/Config process. To compensate for the telecoil/microphone frequency response mismatch, a first order filter with 500 Hz corner frequency is implemented. Through ARKonline, it is possible to implement a telecoil compensation filter with an adjustable corner frequency. To accommodate for the gain mismatch, the telecoil gain is adjusted to match the microphone gain at 500 Hz or 1 kHz (default) and is selectable in ARKonline. There is also a telecoil gain adjustment parameter that can be enabled in ARKonline and set in IDS, enabling manual adjustment of the telecoil gain compensation. Automatic Telecoil The Inspiria GA3285 is equipped with an automatic telecoil feature, which causes the hybrid to switch to a specific memory upon the closing of a switch connected to MS2. This feature is useful when MS2 is connected to a switch, such as a reed switch, that is open or closed depending on the presence of a static magnetic field. Memory D can be programmed to be the telecoil or mic+telecoil memory so that, when a telephone handset is brought close to such a switch, its static magnetic field closes the switch and causes the hybrid to change to memory D. However, it is possible that the hearing aid wearer may move his or her head away from the telephone handset momentarily, in which case it is undesirable to immediately change out of telecoil mode and then back in moments later. The Inspiria GA3285 has a debounce circuit that prevents this needless switching. The debounce circuit delays the device from switching out of memory D when MS2 is configured at a static switch in ‘D −only’ mode. The debounce time is programmable to be 1.5, 3.5 or 5.5 seconds after the switch opens (i.e., the handset is moved away from the hearing instrument) or this feature can be disabled. DAI Path The DAI input can be adjusted using a first order filter with a variable corner frequency similar to the telecoil compensation filter. Through ARKonline, it is possible to implement this DAI filter to set either a static or adjustable corner frequency. The Mic plus DAI mode mixes the Mic1 and DAI signals. The Mic1 input signal is attenuated by 0, −6 or −12 dB before being added to the DAI input signal. The DAI input also has gain adjustment in 1 dB steps to assist in matching it to the Mic1 input level. Graphic Equalizer The Inspiria GA3285 has a 16 −band graphic equalizer. The bands are spaced linearly at 500 Hz intervals, except for the first and the last band, and each one provides up to 24 dB of gain adjustment in 1 dB increments. Biquad Filters Additional frequency shaping can be achieved by configuring generic biquad filters. The transfer function for each of the biquad filters is as follows: H(z) /C0043b0 /C0041b1 /C0032z−1 /C0041b2 /C0032z−2 1 /C0041a1 /C0032z−1 /C0041a2 /C0032z−2 Note that the a0 coefficient is hard−wired to always be ‘1’. The coefficients are each 16 bits in length and include one sign bit, one bit to the left of the decimal point, and 14 bits to the right of the decimal point. Thus, before quantization, the floating −point coefficients must be in the range −2.0 ≤ x < 2.0 and quantized with the function: round /C0466x /C0032214/C0467 After designing a filter, the quantized coefficients can be entered into the PreBiquads or PostBiquads tab in the Interactive Data Sheet. The coefficients b0, b1, b2, a1, and a2 are as defined in the transfer function above. The parameters meta0 and meta1 do not have any effect on the signal processing, but can be used to store additional information related to the associated biquad. The underlying code in the product components automatically checks all of the filters in the system for stability (i.e., the poles have to be within the unit circle) before updating the graphs on the screen or programming the coefficients into the hybrid. If the Interactive Data Sheet receives an exception from the underlying stability checking code, it automatically disables the biquad being modified and display a warning message. When the filter is made stable again, it can be re−enabled. Also note that in some configurations, some of these filters may be used by the product component for microphone/telecoil compensation, low−frequency EQ, etc. If this is the case, the coefficients entered by the user into IDS are ignored and the filter designed by the software is programmed instead. For more information on filter design refer to the Biquad Filters In PARAGON Digital Hybrid information note. Volume Control The V olume Control (VC) can be either external or programmable. If external VC operation is selected, a further decision is required as to whether a variable resistor (analog VC) or a Digital V olume Control (DVC) will be connected to the 9−bit A/D converter. Analog Volume Control The external VC can be configured to work with either a two−terminal 200 k/C0087 variable resistor or a three−terminal 0.1 M/C0087 − 1M /C0087 variable resistor. In two −terminal configuration, the VC is connected between GND and the VC input. In three −terminal configuration, it is connected between GND, Vreg and the VC input.

www.onsemi.com If using a two−terminal VC, it must be calibrated before use. Calibration is not necessary with a three −terminal connection. Hysteresis is built into the VC circuitry to prevent unintentional volume level toggling. A log taper potentiometer is recommended so that gain in dB would be linear with potentiometer rotation. The range of VC is adjustable and can be set between 1 dB (min) and 42 dB (max). Digital Volume Control If using a Digital V olume Control with the Inspiria GA3285, a resistor must be connected between the VC input and Vreg, and another resistor of the same value must be connected between the VC input and GND. The values of both resistors can be between 50 k/C0087 and 0.5 M/C0087. A toggle switch can be used as a DVC, momentarily connecting the VC to either Vreg or GND. By connecting the VC to Vreg, the volume will be increased one step, and by connecting the VC to GND, the volume will be decreased one step. The following parameters can be programmed into the hybrid to specify the DVC functionality:

• DVC enable or disable
• V olume up/down step size of 1 dB, 2 dB, 3 dB or 4 dB
• V olume up/down beep frequency and volume
• DVC range between 6 dB and 42 dB in 6 dB steps
• Default DVC value when the hybrid is powered up
• V olume up/down beep enable
• Max/Min beep enable
• Max/Min beep frequency & volume If the Max/Min beep is enabled then when the volume has been incremented to the maximum value of the specified DVC range the device will play two beeps to indicate that it cannot increase the volume any more. The same is true for decrementing the volume and reaching the minimum value of the DVC range. AGC−O and Peak Clipper The output compression−limiting block (AGC−O) is an output limiting circuit whose compression ratio is fixed at ∝:1. The threshold level is programmable. The AGC −O module has programmable attack and release time constants. The AGC −O on the Inspiria GA3285 has optional adaptive release functionality. When this function is enabled, the release time varies depending on the environment. In general terms, the release time becomes faster in environments where the average level is well below the threshold and only brief intermittent transients exceed the threshold. Conversely, in environments where the average level is close to the AGC−O threshold, the release time applied to portions of the signal exceeding the threshold is longer. The result is an effective low distortion output limiter that clamps down very quickly on momentary transients but reacts more smoothly in loud environments to minimize compression pumping artifacts. The programmed release time is the longest release time applied, while the fastest release time is 16 times faster. For example, if a release time of 128 ms is selected, the fastest release time applied by the AGC −O block is 8 ms. The Inspiria GA3285 also includes the Peak Clipper block for added flexibility. Memory Select Switches One or two, two−pole Memory Select (MS) switches can be used with the Inspiria GA3285. This enables users tremendous flexibility in switching between configurations. These switches may be either momentary or static and are configurable to be either pull−up or pull−down through the settings tab in IDS. Up to four memories can be configured on the Inspiria GA3285. Memory A must always be valid. All memory select options are selectable via the settings tab in IDS. Momentary Switch on MS This mode uses a single momentary switch on MS (Pin 4) to change memories. Using this mode causes the part to start in memory A, and whenever the button is pressed, the next valid memory is loaded. When the user is in the last valid memory, a button press causes memory A to be loaded. This mode is set by programming the ‘MSSMode’ parameter to ‘Momentary’ and ‘Donly’ to ‘disabled’. Example: If 4 valid memories: ABCDABCDA… If 3 valid memories: ABCABCA… If 2 valid memories: ABABA… If 1 valid memories: AAA… Momentary Switch on MS, Static Switch on MS2 (Jump to Last Memory) This mode uses a static switch on MS2 (Pin 5) and a momentary switch on MS (Pin 4) to change memories. If the static switch is OPEN, the part starts in memory A and behaves like momentary, with the exception that memory D is not used. If the static switch on MS2 is set to HIGH, the part automatically jumps to memory D (occurs on start−up or during normal operation). In this setup, the momentary switch’s state is ignored, preventing memory select beeps from occurring. When MS2 is set to OPEN, the part loads in the last select memory. This mode is set by programming the ‘MSSMode’ parameter to ‘Momentary’ and ‘Donly’ to ‘enabled’. Example: If MS2 = OPEN and there are 4 valid memories: ABCABCA… If MS2 = OPEN and there are 3 valid memories: ABABA… If MS2 = HIGH: D…

www.onsemi.com the audio signal is faded back in. The memory switch fader is also used when turning the Tone Generator on or off, and during SDA programming. Power−On/Power−Off Behaviour and Low Battery Indicator During power−on, the Inspiria GA3285 hybrid is held in a reset state until the supply voltage (Vb) reaches a turn−ON threshold. A small portion of the hybrid’s internal control logic turns on and monitors the voltage to determine if the supply is stable. Once the supply is stable, the entire hybrid is activated and loads its configuration. Finally, the audio output turns on by smoothly transitioning to the expected output level. During normal operation, when a low battery condition is detected, the Inspiria GA3285 hybrid sends out a series of one to seven beeps (each beep is 512 ms ON and 512 ms OFF) to indicate the battery is low. This is repeated every five minutes until the device reaches the turn −OFF threshold. The low battery threshold is programmable in IDS between 1.0 V and 1.2 V in 10 mV increments. If V b drops below the turn −OFF threshold, then the Inspiria GA3285 hybrid is returned to its reset state and the audio output is muted. After a reset due to a low battery or a sudden supply transient, the recovery behaviour of the Inspiria GA3285 is determined by the selectable reset mode through ARKonline. There are four selectable reset modes as follows:

• Shallow−reset mode − After a low battery shutdown or transient shutdown, it allows the Inspiria GA3285 hybrid to immediately restart when the supply voltage rises above the turn−ON threshold. The device restarts in the memory that was last active when the shut down occurred. In summary, the device functions until the supply voltage drops below the turn−OFF threshold, and recovers when the device rises above the turn−ON threshold again.
• Deep−reset mode − After a low battery shutdown or transient shutdown, it does not allow the Inspiria GA3285 hybrid to restart. When a shutdown occurs (i.e., the supply voltage drops below the turn−OFF threshold), the device remains off until the supply voltage drops below approximately 0.3 V and subsequently rises above the turn−ON threshold. For the supply to drop below 0.3 V , the battery should be disconnected. Upon reconnecting the battery (preferably a new battery) the supply voltage rises above the turn−ON threshold, and depending if the supply is stable, the device restarts.
• Mixed mode − A combination of the first two modes. The device starts up in shallow−reset mode initially, then transitions to deep reset mode after five minutes.
• Advanced reset mode (recommended) − A more advanced combination of the first two modes, plus some additional intelligence. The device starts up in shallow−reset mode initially, so that after a low battery shutdown or a transient shutdown, the device immediately restarts when the supply voltage rises above the turn−ON threshold. When the device restarts, deep−reset mode is applied and the device operates in the memory that was last active when the shut down occurred. Additionally, the maximum output level is reduced through a 2 dB reduction of the AGCo and peak clipper. This operating condition is defined as transient reboot mode. The device operates in transient reboot mode (i.e., deep−reset mode and maximum output reduction are applied) while monitoring the supply voltage. If the supply voltage remains above the turn−ON threshold for at least 30 secs, the device is allowed to exit transient reboot mode. The device returns to shallow−reset mode and the maximum output is restored. Generally, any low battery shutdown or transient shutdown that occurs while in shallow−reset mode (or while in the shallow −reset mode component of mixed mode or advanced reset mode) results in the Inspiria GA3285 hybrid restarting into the memory that was last active when the shut down occurred. The Inspiria GA3285 hybrid has this memory restart capability for up to three memories. A restart in any memory beyond the first three memories causes the device to restart in the initial memory, similar to the behaviour when a battery is first connected. The advanced reset mode described above also applies to up to three memories. Any additional memories would use the shallow−reset mode behaviour, and would restart in the initial memory after a shutdown. In any of the above reset modes, the Inspiria GA3285 hybrid can be configured through ARKonline to reduce the gain as the battery voltage drops. When the supply voltage falls below the low battery threshold, low battery tones are emitted and the wideband gain is reduced by 3 dB. As the battery voltage continues to drop, the low battery tones continue and the wideband gain continues to be reduced. Once the turn−OFF threshold is reached, the device shuts down. Software and Security The Inspiria GA3285 incorporates the following security features to protect the device from cloning and against software piracy:
• DLL protection by password − prevents a third party from using IDS to reconfigure parts.
• Hybrid authentication by 128−bit fingerprint to identify parts in application software − prevents a third party from cloning a device’s EEPROM because the fingerprint cannot be overwritten. Special functions can be used in fitting software to reject parts that do not match the expected fingerprint. This would prevent the piracy of fitting software.
• DLL to hybrid pairing by using a software key in ARK to match product libraries with client software − a part can be ‘locked’ at manufacturing time so that it only

www.onsemi.com communicates with the library it was programmed with. This prevents a third party from potentially upgrading a device with a different library in IDS or other application software. Full software support is provided for every stage of development from design to manufacturing to fitting. For details, refer to the Getting Started with the ARK Software information note. SDA Communication The Inspiria GA3285 is programmed via the SDA pin using industry standard programming boxes. During parameter changes, the main audio signal path of the hybrid is temporarily muted using the memory switch fader to avoid the generation of disturbing audio transients. Once the changes are complete, the main audio path is reactivated. Any changes made during programming are lost at power−off unless they are explicitly burned to EEPROM memory. Improvements have been made to the ARK software for the Inspiria GA3285 resulting in increased communication speed. Certain parameters in ARKonline can be selected to reduce the number of pages that need to be read out. Power Management The Inspiria GA3285 was designed to accommodate high power applications. AC ripple on the supply can cause instantaneous reduction of the battery’s voltage, potentially disrupting the circuit’s function. The Inspiria GA3285 hybrids have a separate power supply and ground connections for the output stage. This enables hearing instrument designers to accommodate external RC filters to minimize any AC ripple from the supply line. Reducing this AC ripple greatly improves the stability of the circuit and prevents unwanted reset of the circuit caused by spikes on the supply line. For more information on properly designing a filter to reduce supply ripple, refer to the Using DSP Hybrids in High Power Applications Initial Design Tips information note.
