Silentium selects ADI's Blackfin processors in their active noise control products

Silentium has selected Analog Devices' Blackfin processors to power their broadband active noise control (ANC) products. Blackfin processors are used in Silentium's S-Cube controller. Silentium's products deliver more than 10dB (A) broadband noise reduction covering the entire audible range and, in addition, deliver from 100Hz up to 2KHz point to zone spatial noise reduction.

Active noise cancellation minimizes the unwelcome "noise" often generated by electronic equipment. ANC is used in a full range of applications and industries, including server and networking equipment, air treatment and air conditioning machinery, automotive and aircraft cabins, white goods, and more.

"Analog Devices' low cost, high performance processors are central to our success in delivering exceptional ANC functionality," said Yoel Naor, director of products, Silentium. Blackfin's extensive peripheral connectivity allowed us to take a whole-system design approach, giving us both a powerful platform and the design flexibility necessary to develop low-cost, highly effective low to medium frequency solutions for both our end users and OEM customers."
