PARAGON ™ DIGITAL
SO3 PAL Configuration
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION
• multi channel WDRC processing
The S03 Product Abstraction Layer™ (PAL) in combination with
second generation PARAGON™ DIGITAL hybrids (GB3211,
GB3215, GA3214) provides an advanced, four channel Wide
Dynamic Range Compression (WDRC) DSP system with
embedded FRONTWAVE® capability*. The new features added
in S03 PAL revision include software configurable, two memory
select switches and audible memory change indicator tones.
• 4 independently configurable Biquad Filters
• fully adjustable crossover frequencies
• embedded FRONTWAVE® technology*
• AGC Detector in each channel with adjustable time
constants (Single or Twin Detector)
• flexible WDRC I/O curve adjustment (channel
independent)
• wideband gain adjustment with external VC option
• notch filter (variable centre and width) and dynamic
depth (gain dependent)
• soft squelch (low level expansion) with variable
threshold and variable time constants
• telecoil option
• AGCo (variable threshold and time constants)
• digital peak clipping option
• low battery indicator
• tone generator (programmable level and frequency)
• 4 memories with full configuration storage
• momentary and static memory select operation
• separate static memory D select switch*
The highly configurable digital signal processor enables
extremely versatile fitting with independent channel
compression characteristics, including five parameter I/O
curve adjustment and variable AGC time constants.
All programmable parameters, including the crossover
frequencies, have generous adjustment ranges and excellent
resolution. Each channel contains independent AGC control
with Gennum's proven Twin Detector approach.
FRONTWAVE® enables* the efficient addition of multimicrophone directionality with exceptional flexibility. A wide
range of polar patterns are possible and can be programmed
in the field after a simple calibration procedure is performed on
the complete hearing aid by the manufacturer. Different polar
patterns can be programmed and can be changed as required
within each memory.
Advanced features include low-level expansion (squelch),
a fully programmable notch filter with optional gain dependent
operation, and a pure tone generator enabling in situ
audiometry.
• audible memory change indicator

NOTE 1: Total System Gain consists of Wideband System Gain + High and Low Independent Channel Gains + Converter Gain and accuracy of this
parameter is dependent on accuracy of the components.
Accuracy definitions:
type 1: accuracy is determined by the clock frequency deviation
type 2: accuracy is determined by the quantization error of 16bit coefficient and 20bit or higher data word.
type 3: accuracy is determined by the quantization error of a parameter word (see table 2 for word length) and 20bit or higher data word.
NOTE 2: Refer to Doc #20143 “PARAGON™ Digital Reference Guide” for parameter description.
