摘要: A method for estimating a noise power level difference (NPLD) between a primary microphone and a reference microphone of an audio device includes obtaining primary and reference channels of an audio signal with primary and reference microphones of an audio device and estimating a noise magnitude of the reference channel of the audio signal to provide a noise variance estimate for one or more frequencies. A modelled probability density function (PDF) of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) coefficient of the primary channel of the audio signal is maximized to provide a NPLD between the noise variance estimate of the reference channel and a noise variance estimate of the primary channel. A modelled PDF of an FFT coefficient of the reference channel of the audio signal is maximized to provide a complex speech power level difference (SPLD) coefficient between the speech FFT coefficients of the primary and reference channel. A corrected noise magnitude of the reference channel is then calculated based on the noise variance estimate, the NPLD and the SPLD coefficient.

摘要: Voltage level shifting in a switching output stage is presented. The circuit may include a switching output stage configured to receive an analog input signal and provide a responsive digital output signal, the switching output stage having a first switching device coupled to a first supply voltage and a second switching device coupled to a second supply voltage, the first switching device and the second switching device being coupled to a common output node. The apparatus may also include a voltage level shifter circuit coupled to a switching control node of the second switching device, the voltage level shifter configured to shift a voltage level at the switching control node of the second switching device relative to the analog input signal, wherein the digital output signal at the common output node transitions as the input signal reaches a predetermined threshold value.

摘要: A controller of a boost converter may be configured to dynamically adjust conditions within the boost converter by monitoring conditions in the boost converter. For example, the controller may determine an current inductance value for an inductor of the boost converter by monitoring a current through the inductor. When the inductance value of the inductor is known, a slope compensation value may be used in determining a transition time between charging the inductor of the boost converter and discharging the inductor.

摘要: A variable ramp up/down gain in a pre-power stage block of an audio amplifier may be used to reduce audible pops and clicks output by the audio amplifier. A controller may adjust the variable ramp up/down gain during operation of the audio amplifier. The variable ramp up/down gain may be implemented as a pulse width modulation (PWM) modulator/generator with a ramp-up and ramp-down gain under control of the controller. The variable ramp up/down gain smooths transitions of the offset between a pre-power stage block and a feedback loop and thus can reduce audible pops and clicks by reducing the offset that is amplified in the power stage block of the audio amplifier.

摘要: A processing circuit may include: (i) an adaptive filter having a response that generates an anti-noise signal from a reference microphone signal, wherein the response is shaped in conformity with the reference microphone signal and a playback corrected error, and wherein the playback corrected error is based on a difference between an error microphone signal and a secondary path estimate; (ii) a secondary path estimate filter configured to model an electro-acoustic path of a source audio signal and having a response that generates a secondary path estimate from the source audio signal; (iii) a secondary coefficient control block that shapes the response of the secondary path estimate filter in conformity with the source audio signal and the playback corrected error by adapting the response of the secondary path estimate filter to minimize the playback corrected error; and (iv) a noise injection portion for injecting a noise signal into the source audio signal, wherein the noise signal is shaped based on the playback corrected error.

摘要: A system may include a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter and a digital compression circuit. The delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter may include a loop filter having a loop filter input configured to receive an input signal and generate an intermediate signal responsive to the input signal, a multi-bit quantizer configured to quantize the intermediate signal into an uncompressed digital output signal, and a feedback digital-to-analog converter having a feedback output configured to generate a feedback output signal responsive to the uncompressed digital output signal in order to combine the input signal and the feedback output signal at the loop filter input. The digital compression circuit may be configured to receive the uncompressed digital output signal and compress the uncompressed digital output signal into a compressed digital output signal having fewer quantization levels than that of the uncompressed digital output signal.

摘要: An audio amplifier circuit may include a power amplifier, a charge pump power supply, and a control circuit. The power amplifier may have an audio input for receiving an audio input signal, an audio output for providing the output signal, and a power supply input. The charge pump power supply may provide a power supply voltage to the power supply input. The charge pump power supply may have a select input for selecting an operating mode of the power supply. In a first operating mode, the power supply voltage may equal to a first voltage, and in a second operating mode, the power supply voltage may be substantially equal to a second voltage which is a rational fraction of the first voltage. The control circuit may generate the select input based on a magnitude of anti-noise generated by an adaptive noise cancellation system associated with the audio transducer.

摘要: A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) may be used in a power stage DC-to-DC converter, such as a converter in LED-based light bulbs. The power stage may be operated by a controller to maintain a desired current output to the LED load. The controller may operate the power stage by monitoring a start and end of a reverse recovery time of the BJT. Information regarding the start and end of the reverse recovery time may be used in the control of the power stage to improve efficiency of the power stage.
