An energy-efficient analog front-end circuit for a sub-1-V digital hearing aid chip.

A low-power energy-efficient adaptive analog front-end circuit is proposed and implemented for digital hearing-aid applications. It adopts the combined-gain-control (CGC) technique for accurate preamplification and the adaptive-SNR (ASNR) technique to improve dynamic range with low power consumption...
