    Abstract: The present invention relates in one aspect to a microphone circuit assembly for an external application processor such as a programmable Digital Signal Processor. The microphone circuit assembly comprises a microphone preamplifier and analog-to-digital converter generate microphone signal samples at a first predetermined rate. A speech feature extractor is configured for receipt and processing of predetermined blocks of the microphone signal samples to extract speech feature vectors representing speech features of the microphone signal samples. The microphone circuit assembly additionally comprises a speech vocabulary comprising a target word or target phrase of human speech encoded as a set of target feature vectors and a decision circuit is configured to compare the speech feature vectors generated by the speech feature extractor with target feature vectors to detect the target speech word or phrase. A controller is configured to generate a recognition signal on an externally accessible output terminal of the microphone circuit assembly in response to a recognized target word or phrase in the microphone signal samples. Additional aspects of the invention relates to Digital Signal Processing Systems comprising the microphone circuit assembly.

    Abstract: A microprocessor circuit may include a software programmable microprocessor core and a data memory accessible via a data memory bus. The data memory may include sets of configuration data structured according to respective predetermined data structure specifications for configurable math hardware accelerators, and sets of input data for configurable math hardware accelerators, each configured to apply a predetermined signal processing function to the set of input data according to received configuration data. A configuration controller is coupled to the data memory via the data memory bus and to the configurable math hardware accelerators. The configuration controller may fetch the configuration data for each math hardware accelerator from the data memory and translate the configuration data. The configuration controller may transmit each set of configuration data to the corresponding configurable math hardware accelerator and write the configuration data to configuration registers of the math hardware accelerator.
