AB  - This paper presents a digital implementation of the Cascade of Asymmetric 
      Resonators with Fast-Acting Compression (CAR-FAC) cochlear model. The CAR part 
      simulates the basilar membrane's (BM) response to sound. The FAC part models the 
      outer hair cell (OHC), the inner hair cell (IHC), and the medial olivocochlear 
      efferent system functions. The FAC feeds back to the CAR by moving the poles and 
      zeros of the CAR resonators automatically. We have implemented a 70-section, 44.1 
      kHz sampling rate CAR-FAC system on an Altera Cyclone V Field Programmable Gate 
      Array (FPGA) with 18% ALM utilization by using time-multiplexing and pipeline 
      parallelizing techniques and present measurement results here. The fully digital 
      reconfigurable CAR-FAC system is stable, scalable, easy to use, and provides an 
      excellent input stage to more complex machine hearing tasks such as sound 
      localization, sound segregation, speech recognition, and so on.
