ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION
First Claim
1. A system for providing active noise cancellation (ANC), comprising:
- a digital ANC circuit configured to receive first audio information from a first microphone and to produce an a digital anti-noise signal configured to attenuate noise sensed by the first microphone;
an analog ANC circuit configured to receive second audio information from a second microphone and to produce an analog anti-noise signal configured to attenuate noise sensed by the second microphone; and
wherein the system is configured to receive an intended audio signal and to provide an output signal for a speaker using the intended audio signal, the analog anti-noise signal, and the digital anti-noise signal.

Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for active noise cancellation. One example system includes a digital ANC circuit configured to receive first audio information from a first microphone and to produce an a digital anti-noise signal configured to attenuate noise sensed by the first microphone; an analog ANC circuit configured to receive second audio information from a second microphone and to produce an analog anti-noise signal configured to attenuate noise sensed by the second microphone; and wherein the system is configured to receive an intended audio signal and to provide an output signal for a speaker using the intended audio signal, the analog anti-noise signal, and the digital anti-noise signal.

22. A system for providing active noise cancellation (ANC), comprising:
-
a digital ANC circuit configured to receive first audio information from a first microphone and to produce an anti-noise signal configured to attenuate noise in the first audio information; a summation circuit configured to combine the anti-noise signal from the digital ANC circuit with an intended audio signal to form a composite audio signal; and an analog ANC circuit configured to receive second audio information from a second microphone and the composite audio signal, the analog ANC circuit configured to attenuate noise in the second audio information and to produce an output signal for a speaker based on the second audio information and the composite audio signal. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
