A 10µW digital signal processor with adaptive-SNR monitoring for a sub-1V digital hearing aid
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ultra low-power digital signal processor (DSP) is proposed for the digital hearing aid. The DSP has a SNR monitor to vary its internal clock frequency in accordance with the input signal level. Digital filters use hardwired barrel shifters in place of multipliers, and a parameter ROM provides filter parameters. The clock generator consumes only 1 μW at sub-1V. The DSP consumes only 10 μW at 0.9-V single supply, and occupies 0.3 mm with gate count of 10k using 0.18-μm CMOS process.

متن کاملImproving adaptive resolution of analog to digital converters using least squares mean method
This paper presents an adaptive digital resolution improvement method for extrapolating and recursive analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The presented adaptively enhanced ADC (AE-ADC) digitally estimates the digital equivalent of the input signal by utilizing an adaptive digital filter (ADF). The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm also determines the coefficients of the ADF block. In this sch...
