ADRO is fitted via direct in-situ measures to ensure a
fast, customised fitting. ADRO uses statistical analysis
and gain customized in 32 independent channels, so
that the sound level is always optimized to be within the
comfortable dynamic range of the listener.
Advanta's adaptive directional microphone technology
provides added benefit in background noise. Advanta
automatically changes from directional to
omni-directional in different environments as needed.
Advanta has an adjustable threshold criterion and
becomes omni-directional in wind noise, and in quiet. In
the directional mode, the signals from two
omni-directional microphones are combined and the
null is automatically moved to optimise noise rejection.
The adaptive directional microphone features a flat
frequency response, so that no additional frequency
compensation is required. It is easily configured for
different microphone placements, and can be calibrated
to match multiple microphones.
The advanced feedback canceller provides increased
maximum stable gain. Additionally, it features rapid
adjustment for dynamic feedback situations.
Advanta is available with the Configure™ fitting
software, so named as it allows the customer to quickly
configure the hearing aid. Configure features a
stand-alone database supporting multiple sessions,
automatic interface detection and an intuitive fitting
procedure which achieves fast and accurate fittings. A
software interface library for customers wishing to
integrate support for Advanta into existing fitting
software is also available.
Other configurable options on Advanta include: fixed
directional microphone, internal noise reduction with
user programmable settings, direct audio input, telecoil
input, calibration and test modes supporting standard
IEC/ANSI procedures, adjustable input selection, and
four listening programs.

6. Advanta Overview
Advanta is a DSP system with adaptive algorithms and the ADRO sound
processing methodology implemented on the Voyageur hardware platform. This
hardware platform is a combination of a DSP core and a high fidelity audio
CODEC. As well, thinSTAX packaging provides easy integration into a wide range
of applications from CIC to BTE.
The CODEC converts analog audio into digital samples for the DSP, and outputs
processed samples to the receiver. The CODEC also implements cross fading
between audio paths. The DSP core implements the adaptive algorithms, ADRO
processing, volume control, and tone generation. The adaptive algorithms include
an adaptive directional microphone and feedback cancellation. Internal noise
reduction is also included. The processing is based on ADRO targets, which
eliminates the need for EQ filters or wide band gain settings.
7. Functional Block Description
7.1 ADRO Processing
ADRO uses advanced statistical analysis and fuzzy logic control in 32 narrow
frequency channels to achieve a natural sound, with maximum listening comfort
and audibility in all environments. Instead of compressing the signal, the most
informative part of the dynamic range is selected and presented linearly in every
one of the 32 channels. The linear processing of ADRO results in a natural sound
that is preferred by first-time and experienced hearing aid users alike.
ADRO is easy to fit and flexible enough to fit any hearing loss taking individual
preferences into account. There is no need to consider compression ratios,
knee-points, or other complex settings – intuitive adjustments fine tune ADRO to
overcome any hearing problem. Once fitted well in one environment, ADRO
automatically adjusts to any other. Clinical trials show substantial benefits in
background noise, with loud, average and soft speech in quiet and for a wide
variety of environmental sounds.*Blamey PJ, Martin LFA & Fiket HJ (2004). A

GA3222 Preliminary Data Sheet
7.2 Adaptive Directional Microphone
Adaptive directional microphones offer flexibility over fixed directional microphones
as noise from any direction can be optimally rejected. The architecture of this
particular adaptive directional microphone combines the input from two
microphones to achieve the desired response. The inherently flat frequency
response of the adaptive directional microphone eliminates the need for a separate
frequency compensation algorithm.
An adjustable threshold criterion also allows the Adaptive Directional Microphone
to automatically adapt to an omni-directional response when the environment is
relatively quiet. In situations where a directional response is noisy (e.g. wind) an
omni-directional response is also automatically used. In the case of a diffuse sound
field, the adaptive directional microphone adapts to a super-cardioid polar pattern,
which is optimal for this situation.
7.2.1 Threshold Criterion
The recommended threshold for the adaptive directional microphone is
65-70dBSPL. This threshold ensures that in quiet environments an
omni-directional response is adopted, and that in a moderately noisy environment
the appropriate directional response is used.
7.3 Noise Reduction
The internal noise reduction system is a single-channel expansion scheme
operating to reduce the broad-band noise generated internally in the hearing aid –
particularly in the microphone.
The intensity of both the noise and signal after the front microphone pre-amp is
shaped with an approximately A-weighted filter designed to more accurately reflect
the sensitivity of the human ear. This weighting means that the INR threshold is at
a fairly constant sensation level across frequency, as opposed to a constant
intensity. The aggressiveness of the noise reduction algorithm is adjustable.
7.3.1 Expansion Threshold
Test box measures show that the speech intelligibility index of soft speech
(55dBSPL LTASS) is not compromised with an expansion threshold of 50 - 55
dBSPL.
The recommended expansion threshold setting for the fixed directional
microphone is 50 - 55 dBSPL .
7.3.2 Expansion Ratio
The recommended expansion ratio is 0.7 to minimize audible effect when the
hearing aid moves in and out of expansion. Ratios less than 0.6 are not
recommended.

February 2006

GA3222 Preliminary Data Sheet
7.3.3 Time Constants
The preconfigured attack and release times are 200ms and 20ms respectively for
two main reasons:
1. To ensure that the noise reduction system is not activated during softer
phonemes in speech (slower expansion attack time) and that the system
quickly responds to the onset of speech (faster expansion release time). The
typical duration of phonemic gaps between syllables in speech is about
150ms, so the expansion attack time should be longer than this to avoid
distorting the speech envelope.
2. Slow time constants are in keeping with ADRO processing and are optimized
to preserve the sound quality of speech.
7.4 Adaptive Feedback Canceller
Advanta’s feedback canceller reduces acoustic feedback by forming an estimate
of the hearing aid feedback signal and then subtracting this estimate from the
hearing aid input. Therefore, the forward path of the hearing aid is not affected.
Unlike adaptive notch filter approaches, Advanta’s feedback canceller does not
reduce the hearing aid’s gain.

GA3222 Preliminary Data Sheet
7.5 A/D and D/A Converters
The system's two A/D converters are 2nd-order sigma-delta modulators, which
operate at a 2.048MHz sample rate. The system's two audio inputs are
pre-conditioned with antialias filtering and programmable gain pre-amplifiers.
These analog outputs are over sampled and modulated to produce two, 1-bit pulse
density modulated (PDM) data streams. The digital PDM data is then decimated
down to pulse-code modulated (PCM) digital words at the system sampling rate of
16kHz.
The D/A is comprised of a digital, 3rd-order sigma-delta modulator and an
H-bridge. The modulator accepts PCM audio data from the DSP path and converts
it into a 32-times over-sampled, 1-bit PDM data stream, which is then supplied to
the H-bridge. The H-bridge is a specialized CMOS output driver used to convert the
1-bit data stream into a differential output voltage waveform suitable for driving
low-impedance zero-biased hearing aid receivers.
7.6 HRX Head Room Expander
Advanta has an enhanced Head Room Expander (HRX) circuit, which increases
the input dynamic range of Advanta without any audible artifacts. This is
accomplished by dynamically adjusting the pre-amplifier’s gain and the post-A/D
attenuation depending on the input level.
7.7 Volume Control
An external 3-terminal volume control can be connected to Advanta. The volume
control range is adjustable from 0dB to +/-18dB, with support for non-symmetrical
configurations (e.g. from -5dB to +10dB).
7.8 Memory Select Switches
There are two, two-pole Memory Select switches available on Advanta, which
allows the user significant flexibility in switching between configurations. These
switches may be either momentary or static and are configurable to be either
pull-up or pull-down.
Up to four user memories can be configured on Advanta.

GA3222 Preliminary Data Sheet
7.8.1 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.
Examples
If 4 valid memories ABCDABCD…
If 3 valid memories ABCABCA…
If 2 valid memories ABABA…
If 1 valid memory AAA…
7.8.2 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 it behaves like momentary with the exception that memory D is not used. If the
static switch on MS2 is set to HIGH, the part will automatically jump to memory D
(this happens 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 selected memory. If required, a
memory other than D can be used as the jump memory (including one accessible
by MS).
Examples
If MS2 = OPEN and there are 4 valid memories: ABCABCA…
If MS2 = HIGH: D…
7.8.3 Static Switch on MS and MS2
This mode uses two static switches to change memories.
Table 7-1 describes which memory is selected depending on the state of the
switches.
In this mode it is possible to jump from any memory to any other memory simply by
changing the state of both switches. If both switches are changed simultaneously
then the transition is smooth, otherwise, if one switch is changed and then the
other, the part transitions to an intermediate memory before reaching the final
memory.
The part starts in whatever memory the switches are selected. If a memory is
invalid the part defaults to memory A.

7.8.4 Static Switch on MS, Static Switch on MS2 (jump to last memory)
This mode uses two static switches to change memories. Unlike in the previous
example, this mode switches to the memory D when the static switch on MS2 is
HIGH. This means that this mode uses a maximum of three memories (even if four
valid memories are programmed). Table 7-2 describes which memory is selected
depending on the state of the switches.

then the transition is smooth, otherwise, if one switch is changed and then the
other, the part transitions to an intermediate memory before reaching the final
memory.
When MS2 is set HIGH, the state of the switch on MS is ignored. This prevents
memory select beeps from occurring when switching MS when MS2 is HIGH.
The part starts in whatever memory the switches are selected. If a memory is
invalid, the part defaults to memory A.
If required, a memory other than D can be used as the jump memory (including one
accessible via MS).

7.9 Audible Memory Change Indicator
The length of memory indicator beeps as well as the beep mode (single beep,
multi-beep or beeps disabled) are configurable. In addition, each memory can have
a different frequency and beep amplitude. Beeps can be non-masking (they do not
block the audio path), or masking (the audio path is disabled during beeps).
7.10 Cross Fader
To minimize potential loud transients when switching between memories, Advanta
uses a cross fader block. When the memory is changed, the audio signal is faded
out, and after switching to the next memory, the audio signal is faded back in. The
cross fader is also used during SDA programming.
7.11 SDA Communication
Advanta 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 cross 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.
7.12 Power Management
Advanta 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. Advanta hybrids have a separate power supply and
ground connections for the output stage. This allows hearing instrument designers
to accommodate external RC filters in order 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, please refer
to information note Using the GB3211 PARAGON Digital in High Power
Applications Initial Design Tips, document #24561.

7.13 Power-On/Power-Off Behavior and Low Battery Indicator
During power-on, the Advanta 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 (below low battery
threshold) is detected, the Advanta hybrid sends out a series of beeps (of
configurable length and length) to indicate that the battery is low. This will repeat
at a regular interval (configurable from 10 seconds to 10 hours) until the device
reaches the turn-off threshold.
The low battery threshold is configurable from between 1.0V and 1.2V in 10mV
increments.
If Vb drops below the turn-off threshold then the Advanta 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 behavior of Venture is determined by the
selectable reset mode through the Calconfig application.
There are four selectable reset modes as follows:
1. Shallow-reset mode, allows the Advanta hybrid to immediately restart
when the supply voltage rises above the turn-ON threshold, after a low
battery shutdown or transient shutdown. 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.
2. Deep-reset mode, does not allow the Advanta hybrid to restart after a low
battery shutdown or transient shutdown. Once a shut down occurs (i.e.
once the supply voltage drops below the turn-OFF threshold), the device
remains off until the supply voltage drops below approximately 0.3V and
subsequently rises above the turn-ON threshold. In order for the supply to
drop below 0.3V, the battery should be disconnected. Upon reconnecting
the battery (preferably a new battery) the supply voltage rises above the
turn-ON threshold, and subject to the supply being stable, the device
restarts.
3. Mixed mode, is a combination of modes 1 and 2. The device starts up in
shallow-reset mode initially, and then changes over to deep reset mode
after five minutes.

4. Transient reboot mode (recommended), is a more advanced combination
of modes 1 and 2, plus some additional intelligence. The device starts up
in shallow-reset mode initially, so that after a low battery shutdown or
transient shutdown, the device immediately restarts when the supply
voltage rises above the turn-ON threshold. Once 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 (meaning 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 seconds, the device is allowed to exit transient reboot mode. The
device returns to 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 transient reboot mode) results in the Advanta hybrid restarting into the memory
that was last active when the shut down occurred. The Advanta 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 behavior when a battery is first connected. The transient reboot mode
described above also applies to up to three memories. Any additional memories
use the shallow-reset mode behaviour, and restarts in the initial memory after a
shutdown.
7.14 Telecoil Path
The telecoil input is calibrated during the Cal/Config process. To compensate for
the telecoil/microphone gain mismatch, the telecoil gain is adjusted to match the
microphone gain.

8. Software Support
8.1 ADROCOM
The ADROCOM library provides a simple application programmer's interface for
controlling and programming Advanta with proprietary fitting software. The
ADROCOM library is a win32 dynamic link library (DLL). The ADROCOM library
provides the functionality required to measure audio levels through the hearing aid,
and fine-tune the hearing aid fitting.This library also provides a communications
interface to the hearing aid to facilitate lower level functions such as connection,
device verification, reading and writing to both volatile and non-volatile memory,
and being able to stop, start and mute the hearing aid during a fitting session.
8.2 Advanta CalConfig
ADRO algorithm requires calibration of the Advanta hearing instrument before
using it with any fitting software. The calibration will adjust the gain and the
maximum output level of the instrument so the gain and the maximum output
frequency response curves are flat, within specified tolerance, across the
frequency spectrum. The calibration is done by Gennum's Advanta CalConfig
program.
For more information on Advanta CalConfig Program refer to "Getting Started with
Advanta Digital" information note, document 36478.
8.3 Configure™
The Configure fitting software is a a turn-key ADRO fitting solution for Advanta.
Configure uses the ADROCOM library to interface with the hearing aid and provide
initial fitting predictions.
Configure features a stand-alone database, which stores each client's
demographic details, all fitting details and enables access to past fitting sessions.
Configure guides the clinician through an intuitive fitting procedure which achieves
fast and effective fittings in as few as four steps; balancing comfort levels, adjusting
the volume of the hearing aid, fine-tuning the hearing aid, and programming.
Three programs are saved to the hearing aid when using Configure. The clinician
is able to select the microphone configuration in each memory, as well the settings
of feedback cancellation and internal noise reduction. Fine-tuning adjustments are
always made to the first program and are automatically incorporated into the
second and third program.
