    Abstract: A method of calculating xM/N, x having a range and M and N integers. The range of x is partitioned into a selected number of intervals and a determination is made as to the interval into which x falls. x is normalized with a normalization factor calculated for the interval into which x falls to obtain a normalized value xnull within a normalized range. A value of xnullM/N is calculated over the normalized range and a value for xM/N is calculated by multiplying the calculated value of xnullM/N by a renormalization factor calculated for the interval in which x falls.

    Abstract: A personal audio device, such as a wireless telephone, includes noise canceling circuit that adaptively generates an anti-noise signal from a reference microphone signal and injects the anti-noise signal into the speaker or other transducer output to cause cancellation of ambient audio sounds. An error microphone may also be provided proximate the speaker to estimate an electro-acoustical path from the noise canceling circuit through the transducer. A processing circuit uses the reference and/or error microphone, optionally along with a microphone provided for capturing near-end speech, to determine whether one of the reference or error microphones is obstructed by comparing their received signal content and takes action to avoid generation of erroneous anti-noise.

    Abstract: A system may include a first voltage reference for generating a first voltage for operating a circuit, a second voltage reference having a higher precision than the first voltage reference, and a controller. The controller may be configured to determine a presence or an absence of a condition for calibrating the first voltage reference. The controller may also be configured to, responsive to the presence of the condition, enable the second voltage reference to generate a second voltage for calibrating the first voltage reference. The controller may further be configured to, responsive to the absence of the condition, disable the second voltage reference.

    Abstract: A personal audio device, such as a wireless telephone, includes noise canceling that adaptively generates an anti-noise signal from a reference microphone signal and injects the anti-noise signal into the speaker or other transducer output to cause cancellation of ambient audio sounds. An error microphone is provided proximate the speaker to measure the output of the transducer in order to control the adaptation of the anti-noise signal and to estimate an electro-acoustical path from the noise canceling circuit through the transducer. The anti-noise signal is adaptively generated to minimize the ambient audio sounds at the error microphone. A processing circuit that performs the adaptive noise canceling (ANC) function also filters one or both of the reference and/or error microphone signals, to bias the adaptation of the adaptive filter in one or more frequency regions to alter a degree of the minimization of the ambient audio sounds at the error microphone.

    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a device may include a piezoelectric speaker for generating sound, a microphone, and a controller communicatively coupled to the speaker and the microphone. The controller may be configured to receive a first signal from the piezoelectric speaker, the first signal induced at least in part by sound incident on the speaker other than sound generated by the piezoelectric speaker, receive a second signal from the microphone, the second signal induced by sound incident on the microphone, process at least one of the first signal and the second signal to determine at least one characteristic of sound incident upon at least one of the piezoelectric speaker and the microphone, and select at least one of the microphone and the piezoelectric speaker as a signal source for incident sound based on the at least one characteristic.

    Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, an integrated circuit for implementing at least a portion of a personal audio device may include an output and a processing circuit. The output may provide an output signal to a transducer including both a source audio signal for playback to a listener and an anti-noise signal for countering the effect of ambient audio sounds in an acoustic output of the transducer. The processing circuit may implement an adaptive noise cancellation system that generates the anti-noise signal to reduce the presence of the ambient audio sounds heard by the listener by adapting, based on a presence of the source audio signal, a response of the adaptive noise cancellation system to minimize the ambient audio sounds at the acoustic output of the transducer, wherein the adaptive noise cancellation system is configured to adapt both in the presence and the absence of the source audio signal.
