    Abstract: A coin cell powered device that includes a unit and one or more interfaces that are configured to interface between the unit, the cell coin and an external capacitor. The unit may include a regulator, a transmitter and a charge pump. The transmitter is configured to transmit signals during a transmission period while receiving power from the regulator, the power originated from the external capacitor. The charge pump is configured to perform, during a charging period, a charging process for charging the external capacitor to a charged voltage that exceeds a voltage of the cell coin, wherein the charging process may include iterations of (a) charging a charge pump capacitor by the coin cell, and (b) discharging the charge pump capacitor thereby charging the external capacitor. The capacitance of the charge pump capacitor is a fraction of a capacitance of the external capacitor. The duration of the charging period exceeds a duration of the transmission period.

    Abstract: Noise suppression in audio signals received by a voice activated device is supported with motion sensors. Motion sensors may provide an indication of movement or motion information, such as the linear or rotational displacement of the voice activated device. A noise reduction unit, which is held in idle mode to conserve power, may be activated in response to an indication of movement. When activated, the noise reduction unit may adapt to environmental noise from the new location or orientation, and switch back to idle mode. When speech is subsequently detected in audio signals, the noise reduction unit has already adapted to the noise and accordingly may reduce noise in the audio signal with no delay when activated. Additionally or alternatively, motion information may be used by the noise reduction unit to quickly adapt to noise in the audio signal.
