Speech processing on a reconfigurable analog platform

Real-time implementation of audio processing algorithms involving discrete-time signals tend to be power-intensive. We present an alternate analog system implementation of a noise-suppression algorithm on our reconfigurable chip, which also enables future implementations of other applications such as voice-activity detection, hearing compensation, and classifier front-ends.
