    Abstract: The overall performance of a dual-path ADC system may be improved by using a VCO-based ADC for small-amplitude signals and employing non-linear cancellation to remove nonlinearities in signals output by the VCO-based ADC. In particular, VCO-based dual-path ADC systems of this disclosure may be configured to receive a first digital signal from a first ADC and a second digital signal from a second ADC, wherein the second digital signal is more non-linear than the first digital signal. The dual-path systems may also be configured to determine one or more non-linear coefficients of the second digital signal based, at least in part, on processing of the first and second digital signals. The dual-path systems may be further configured to modify the second digital signal based, at least in part, on the determined one or more non-linear coefficients to generate a more linear second digital signal.

    Abstract: The dynamic range and power efficiency of a voice-activated system may be improved by dynamically adjusting the configuration of the voice-activated system's input path. In one embodiment, a first portion of audio may be received through an input path of the voice-activated system having a first configuration. A characteristic of the first portion of audio may be determined and the input path may be adjusted to a second configuration based on the determined characteristic. A second portion of audio may then be received through the input path having the second configuration, and speech analysis may be performed on the second portion of audio.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining clock signals for audio processing using different operating modes are provided. In one aspect, a transition control word is determined to transition from a first control word for a first operating mode to a second control word for the second operating mode. The transition control word may be used to process the received audio signal while transitioning between the operating modes. After the transition, the second control word may be used to process the received audio signal using the second operating mode. The transition control word may be used to transition between various aspects of the operating modes, including different frequencies or resolutions, control systems, power levels, and more.

    Abstract: A feedforward correction block for use in a multi-level output system may include circuitry configured to determine an occurrence of a mode transition between operating modes of the multi-level output system, capture a loop filter output of a signal path of the multi-level output system occurring before and after the occurrence of the mode transition, and based on the transition and a change in the loop filter output responsive to the transition, determine a transition-specific compensation function to apply to a feedforward input signal of the signal path that is combined with the loop filter output.

    Abstract: Driver circuitry for driving an electromechanical load with a drive output signal, the driver circuitry comprising: a first control loop operable to control the drive output signal based on a drive input signal; and a second control loop operable to control the drive output signal based on a current flowing through and/or a voltage induced across the electromechanical load, wherein the second control loop is configured to have a lower latency than the first control loop, and to control the drive output signal to compensate for an impedance of the electromechanical load.

    Abstract: A switched mode amplifier system may include a switched mode amplifier having an amplifier input coupled to an output of an analog integrator and an amplifier output, include a feedback network coupled between the amplifier output and an input of the analog integrator, and a calibration system. The calibration system may be configured to force the input of the analog integrator to a fixed known input value, force the amplifier output to a fixed known duty cycle, measure an analog signal generated at the output of the analog integrator in response to forcing the input of the analog integrator to the fixed value, determine an offset of the switched mode amplifier system based on the analog signal, and correct for the offset.
