Noise cancellation can be preset or remotely set
during operation
5 – 15V supply range
4.6dB on board gain
Wide range of connection possibilities
Mounting holes
1.2 Limitations.
This module is designed to pass speech. Other signals
suchasdata,music and morse (CW) will tosome degree
pass through, but the integrity of these signals
cannot be guaranteed.
Thismoduleisdesignedtobeplacedin a low level audio
path only. The module will not drive a loudspeaker or
other high power load.

Figure 1. Connection options
1.3 Module connection and mounting
Connections to the module are made by a row of 10
pads at the right hand side of the PCB. These pads are
on a 2.54mm (0.1”) pitch, which allows the use of
standardpinheaders,PCBconnectorsanddirectwiring.
Vertical mounting.
Use a 10 way 0.1” pitch right
angled pin header in the PCB
(J2). The module can then plug
into a suitable mating connector,
or be soldered directly to the
target system.
Horizontal mounting.
Use a 10 way 0.1” pitch straight
pin header in PCB (J2). Mount a
4 way header in the PCB (J1).
Do not connect these pins to the
circuit, use them purely for
mechanical fixing.
Other options.
Use a right angled pin header to
mate with a 10 way wired
connector.
Wire the PCB directly and mount
using the four fixing holes.

1.4 DSP Noise cancellation.
The bhi DSP processes the incoming signal and then
differentiates the speech from the noise. The unwanted
noise and interference is then attenuated to leave only
the speech.
The following diagrams are taken from actual audio
signals and illustrate how the signal is being processed.

5.4 Audio Bypass.
Insafetycritical applications a bypass should beincluded
to maintain communications in the unlikely event of the
NEDSP1061 or the power failing. The following circuit
uses a relay to route the audio signal. In the even of
power failure to the module the relay will de-energise
and connect the input to output. Also shown is a switch
to bypass the module manually.

2.1 Block diagram.
The NESDP1061 module has the facility to be preset, or
adjusted during operation. Digital inputs control the
functions. These incorporate internal pull up resistors,
so they can be left floating when not in use.
Theaudio signals intoandoutof themodulearecapacitor
coupled.
The on board voltage regulator allows the module to be
used with a wide range of input voltages, but to keep the
power dissipation (and heat) down it is advisable to use
as low as possible supply voltage. The power supply
input is reverse polarity protected.

The module can be controlled with a microcontroller.As
the DSP employs internal pull ups, it is not necessary to
drive the microcontroller port pins high, they can be
placed in a high impedance state.

Note:
The DSP has internal pull ups on its inputs, so any cell
in the table containing 3.3V may be left open circuit.
When processing signals with high levels of noise and
high levels of noise cancellation, the signal may sound
slightly strange. This is quite normal with this type of
signal.
4.4 Noise Cancellation On/Off
The module has the provision for remotely enabling and
disabling the noise reduction, while in operation. The
default setting for the module is noise cancellation on.
Thismaybe switched by theuseofthenoise cancellation
on/off pin (PCB pin 8).
To inhibit noise cancellation, connect this pin to 0V.
To enable noise cancellation leave the pin unconnected.
