Abstract: A system may include a resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor, a driver configured to drive the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor at a driving frequency, and a measurement circuit communicatively coupled to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and configured to measure phase information associated with the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and based on the phase information, determine a displacement of a mechanical member relative to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor, wherein the displacement of the mechanical member causes a change in an impedance of the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor.

Abstract: A power output circuit supplies an audio power output signal that is adjusted to prevent clipping when needed based on an estimate of available energy from the power supply supplying the power output circuit. The power output circuit may be an audio power output circuit that generates an audio power output signal from samples of an audio program that are stored in a buffer. A processing block determines an energy requirement for producing the audio power output signal from the audio program and adjusts an amplitude of the audio power output signal in conformity with the determined energy requirement and an available energy determined for the power supply so that the audio power output signal is reproduced without clipping of the audio power output signal.

Abstract: A method may include controlling switching behavior of switches of a switch-mode power supply based on a desired physical quantity associated with the switch-mode power supply, wherein the desired physical quantity is based at least in part on a slope compensation signal, generating the slope compensation signal to have a compensation value of approximately zero as seen by a compensation control loop of the switch-mode power supply, and modifying the slope compensation signal on successive switching cycles of the switch-mode power supply to account for differences in an output of the compensation control loop and an average current of an inductor of the switch-mode power supply in at least one phase of a switching period of a switching cycle of the switch-mode power supply.

Abstract: A method may include controlling switches of a switching full-bridge of a signal processing system to commutate polarity of a capacitor with respect to the first processing path output and a second processing path output of the signal processing system in response to a condition for commutating connectivity of the switching full-bridge and inserting a feedforward compensation that bypasses a loop filter of the second processing path in order to prevent discontinuities caused by commutating polarity of the capacitor from being compensated by the loop filter.
