Abstract

A personal audio device, such as a headphone, includes an adaptive noise canceling (ANC) circuit that adaptively generates an anti-noise signal using one or more microphone signals that measure the ambient audio. The anti-noise signal is combined with source audio to provide an output for a speaker. The anti-noise signal causes cancellation of ambient audio sounds that appear in the microphone signals. A processing circuit uses the reference microphone to generate the anti-noise signal using one or more adaptive filters. The processing circuit also includes low-pass filters that remove quantization noise images at the output of the adaptive filter to reduce the dynamic range required at the output of the adaptive filter.
