BelaSigna R281
Always-Listening, Voice
Trigger Solution
Introduction
BelaSigna® R281 is an ultra−low−power voice trigger solution for a
wide range of consumer electronic devices. In a typical application
BelaSigna R281 is “always listening” and will detect a single,
user−trained trigger phrase, asserting a wake−up signal when this
trigger phrase is detected.
“Always−listening” key phrase detection with an average power
consumption of less than 300 mW (not including the power
consumption of the microphone) preserves Standby battery life.
BelaSigna R281 is an ultra−miniature solution that is available in a
2.45 mm x 2.77 mm WLCSP package. It can be designed onto a single
layer PCB with 5 mil routing and with a minimal amount of external
components.
An external, I2C host controller is required to configure the device
for operation.

BelaSigna R281
Description of Operation
Training must be performed in a quiet environment, or the
trigger phrase match results in Recognition Mode will be
unpredictable. BelaSigna R281 is placed into Training
Mode by issuing an appropriate SetMode command via I2C.
The algorithm stores relevant feature data from the three
separate utterances of the trigger phrase, also known as
training templates.
Once training is complete, the training templates can be
read from memory and stored offline. This template data can
then be loaded into memory in the event of a power cycle and
the device can be placed directly into Recognition Mode,
thus avoiding the need to re−train the device. This same
procedure can be used to recognize multiple trigger phrases,
provided they have each been individually trained and
stored offline. Only one trigger phrase can be active at any
one time.
Refer to AND9267/D for more information on the
different modes, as well as a description of the I2C host
control protocol.
Efficient implementation of the trigger phrase recognition
algorithm is accomplished through the use of three
processing units running concurrently. In addition to the
main DSP core performing system configuration and signal
processing, an input/output processor continuously collects
frames of input speech signals which are analyzed by a
highly optimized frequency domain co−processor.
There are two main modes of operation: Recognition
Mode and Training Mode.
Recognition Mode
When in Recognition Mode, the entire system remains in
an extremely low−power, “always−on” state continuously
listening for speech. When speech is detected, the algorithm
proceeds to extract features from the collected audio data,
comparing these features to a known set of data computed
during the training process. If the features appear to be
similar enough to the trained feature data, a match is
indicated on the WAKE_UP pin.
Once the feature extraction and comparison is complete,
the system returns to its original low−power state, once
again waiting until speech is detected.
Initial Power−On State
When BelaSigna R281 is powered on, the device will
perform a brief initialization procedure and then wait for a
connection to be made from an external host via I2C. At this
point, the host controller must connect to BelaSigna R281
and load its memory with the algorithm binary image, as
well as the training template data. Once this has been
completed, the device can be put into Recognition Mode. If
no training template data is available (e.g. the training
procedure has never been performed), then BelaSigna R281
must be placed into Training Mode and the training
procedure performed before entering Recognition Mode.
Whenever power is removed from the device, the contents
of memory are lost and must be re−loaded.
For more information refer to AND9267/D.
Training Mode
Before BelaSigna R281 can be placed into Recognition
Mode, it must be trained. Training involves recording and
analyzing three utterances of a trigger phrase. A trigger
phrase can be any collection of words or sounds, in any
language, up to a maximum length of approximately 1.5
seconds.
When speaking a given phrase, a human will naturally say
the same phrase subtly different each time. Having multiple
instances of the same phrase, each slightly different, helps
to make the matching algorithm more robust.

System Performance
Recognition Rate
with varying levels of noise. Recognition rate is 100% in a
quiet environment (no noise playing). The system was
trained in a quiet environment. In all cases, the false trigger
rate (the number of times the system triggered on a
non−trigger phrase) was 0%.
Performance has been measured in various noise
conditions and is shown in Figure 3. Tests were performed
in a sound isolation booth with a series of pre−recorded
trigger and non−trigger phrases playing continuously, mixed

Current Consumption
Average current consumption was also measured with the device operating in a pure noise environment with no speech
present. The results are presented in Table 9.

host, and its behavior (active high versus active low and
duration) is configurable via I2C.
For more information refer to AND9267/D.
Because BelaSigna R281 performs recognition based on
a training procedure performed by a specific individual,
recognition of the trigger phrase is effectively
“single−user”. Only the person who trained the system (or
an individual with an extremely similar voice print) will be
able to reliably trigger the device.

Digital Interfaces
Inter*IC Communication (I2C) Interface
This pin is reserved for future purpose and must be
connected to VDDA.
The I2C interface is an industry−standard interface that
can be used for high−speed transmission of data between
BelaSigna R281 and an external device. The interface
operates at speeds up to 100 Kbit/sec, and always operates
in slave mode at an address of 0x62.
Wake Up Pin
The Wake Up pin is a digital output (referenced to VDDO)
which is used to indicate that the trigger phrase was detected.
It is intended to be connected to a digital input of an external

Digital Microphone (DMIC) Interface
The digital microphone interface provides a means of
interfacing a digital microphone to the system instead of an
analog microphone. When the device is configured to use a
digital microphone input instead of an analog microphone
input (the default), an appropriate clock is output on the
DMIC_CLK pin and device accepts PDM signals from a
digital microphone on the DMIC_DAT input pin. A separate
algorithm binary image is available supporting a digital
microphone input.
Figure 4 shows the timing of the DMIC interface. For
more information refer to AND9267/D.
