    Abstract: One example includes a system that is comprised of a speaker, an amplifier, a current sensor, and a compensator circuit. The speaker produces audio in response to an amplified analog input signal received at a speaker input. The amplifier receives an analog audio input signal and provides the amplified analog audio input signal to the speaker input. The current sensor senses current passing through the speaker and provides a current sensor signal indicative thereof. The compensator circuit applies a transfer function to the current sensor signal to provide a compensation signal as feedback into the analog audio input signal, the transfer function matching at least one of resistance and inductance of the speaker.

    Abstract: A system for error correction code (ECC) management of write-once memory (WOM) codes includes, for example, a controller for selecting between one of a WOM (Write-Once Memory) mode and an ECC (error correction code) mode. A codec is arranged to operate in the selected mode. The codec while operating in the ECC mode is arranged to identify a bit position of at least one bit error in response to ECC parity bits of a first received data word. The codec while operating in the WOM mode is arranged to receive a WOM-encoded word from an addressed location in a WOM device, to receive a second received data word to be encoded and written to the addressed location, and to generate WOM-encoded word for writing to the addressed location in the WOM device. The WOM-encoded word for writing to the addressed location is optionally ECC encoded.

    Abstract: Read-only (“RO”) data consisting of a physically unclonable function (“PUF”) pattern is written to a ferroelectric random-access memory (“FRAM”) memory array. The FRAM array is baked to imprint the PUF pattern with a selected average depth of imprint and a corresponding average read reliability. The average depth of imprint and corresponding average read reliability are determined during testing after baking. The PUF pattern as read after baking is compared to the PUF pattern as written prior to baking. Additional PUF pattern writing and baking cycles may be performed until the average depth of imprint and associated read reliability reach a first selected level. Integrated circuits determined to be over-imprinted by exceeding a second selected level may be rejected. The first and second levels of PUF pattern imprint are selected such as to produce FRAM arrays with a unique fingerprint for each individual FRAM array-containing integrated circuit.

    Abstract: An analog to digital converter (ADC) system that includes a first amplifier configured to amplify an analog input signal to produce an amplified direct current (DC) signal, an ADC configured to receive the amplified DC signal and convert the amplified DC signal into a digital DC signal, a digital to analog converter configured to receive the digital DC signal and convert the digital DC signal into an analog DC signal, and a second amplifier configured to receive an analog alternating current (AC) signal comprising the analog DC signal subtracted from the analog input signal and amplify the analog AC signal to produce an amplified AC signal. The ADC is further configured to receive the amplified AC signal and produce a digital AC signal. The second amplifier has a gain greater than a gain of the first amplifier.

    Abstract: An optical system includes an optical illumination source, an optical receiver, a correlation determination circuit, and an ambient condition control circuit. The optical illumination source is configured to emit a light in the direction of a target object. The optical receiver is configured to receive a combined optical signal that includes an ambient light component combined with an interrogation component. The correlation determination circuit is configured to compare the combined optical signal with an ambient light signal to identify a correlation factor. The ambient condition control circuit is configured to compare the correlation factor to a low correlation threshold value and a high correlation threshold value, and, based on the correlation factor exceeding the low threshold value and being less than the high correlation threshold value, cancel the ambient light component from the combined optical signal to produce an interrogation signal including the interrogation component.

    Abstract: A periphery band is around an excluded region. For automatically counting physical objects within the periphery band and the excluded region, an imaging sensor captures: a first image of the periphery band and the excluded region; and a second image of the periphery band and the excluded region. In response to the first image, a first number is counted of physical objects within the periphery band and the excluded region. Relevant motion is automatically detected within the periphery band, while ignoring motion within the excluded region. In response to the second image, a second number is counted of physical objects within the periphery band and the excluded region. In response to determining that a discrepancy exists between the detected relevant motion and the second number, the discrepancy is handled.

    Abstract: A first amplifier has an input to receive a Hall-signal output current from a first Hall element and has an output to output feedback current in response to the received Hall-signal output current. The Hall-signal output current is impeded by an impedance of the first Hall element. The feedback current is coupled to counterpoise the Hall-signal output current at the input, and a voltage at the output is an amplified Hall output signal. A second amplifier generates a high-frequency portion output signal in response to a difference between the amplified Hall output signal and a Hall-signal output signal from a second Hall element. A filter reduces high-frequency content of the high-frequency portion output signal and generates an offset correction signal. A third amplifier generates a corrected Hall signal in response to a difference between the amplified Hall output signal and the offset correction signal.
