Functional Description of Register Bits
The Exponential Decay registers (Decay Step Number and Decay Step Size) and Flat Delay register allow the LMS
adaptation step-size (MU) to be programmed over the length of the FIR filter. A programmable MU profile allows the
performance of the echo canceller to be optimized for specific applications. For example, if the characteristic of the
echo response is known to have a flat delay of several milliseconds and a roughly exponential decay of the echo
impulse response, then the MU profile can be programmed to approximate this expected impulse response thereby
improving the convergence characteristics of the Adaptive Filter. Note that in the following register descriptions, one
tap is equivalent to 125 µs (64 ms/512 taps).

Decay Step Number: This register defines the number of steps to be used for the decay of MU where
delay is defined as FD

decay of MU. The decay rate is defined as a decrease of MU by a factor of 2 every SS taps of the FIR
filter, where SS = 4 x2
taps of the FIR filter. The default value of SSC
each step has a period of SS taps (see SSC
