Cover Story: A real-time streaming feedforward active-noise-cancellation (ANC) system for an in-ear headphone was demonstrated in a real application scenario, by implementing a 10-layer dilated convolutional-neural-network (CNN) on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). A 16 × 16 systolic array was used in the FPGA, to speed up the model computation. The system latency was 170.6 μs, at the system clock frequency of 120 MHz. The CNN model used 3232 parameters. Due to the large input receptive field, of 327 ms, this work achieved total power reduction, of 14.8 dB and 14.3 dB at the noise incident direction of 0° and 90°, respectively, and the noise attenuation bandwidth was 2000 Hz at both angles; all results were superior to those of the conventional FxLMS algorithm.
