Abstract: A method of determining a phase misalignment between a first signal generated from a first signal path and a second signal generated from a second signal path may include obtaining multiple samples of the first signal proximate to when the first signal crosses zero wherein the first signal can be approximated as linear; obtaining multiple samples of the second signal proximate to when the second signal crosses zero wherein the first signal can be approximated as linear; based on the multiple samples of the first signal, approximating a first time at which the first signal crosses zero; based on the multiple samples of the second signal, approximating a second time at which the second signal crosses zero; and determining the phase misalignment between the first signal and the second signal based on a difference between the first time and the second time.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for controlling an operation of a vibrational output system and/or an operation of an input sensor system, wherein the controller is for use in a device comprising the vibrational output system and the input sensor system. A controller comprises an input configured to receive an indication of activation or de-activation of an output of the vibrational output system; and an adjustment module configured to adjust the operation of the vibrational output system and/or the operation of the input sensor system based on the indication to reduce an interference expected to be caused by the output of the vibrational output system on the input sensory system.

Abstract: A method may include, in a system comprising a digital PWM subsystem having a tunable digital gain, a first path coupled to an output of the digital PWM subsystem and configured to drive an open-loop driver stage, and a second path coupled to the output of the digital PWM subsystem and configured to drive a closed-loop driver stage having a tunable analog gain: selecting one of the first path and the second path for processing an input signal to generate an output signal based on one or more characteristics of the input signal, setting the digital gain to a maximum digital gain and the analog gain to a minimum analog gain when the input signal is lesser than a first threshold, setting the digital gain to a minimum digital gain and the analog gain to a maximum analog gain when the input signal is greater than a second threshold magnitude, and varying the analog gain and the digital gain when the input signal is in a range greater than the first threshold and lesser than a second threshold.

Abstract: A system may include a plurality of playback paths comprising an open-loop playback path configured to drive an output load and a closed-loop playback path. The closed-loop playback path may include an outer feedback loop comprising one or more integrators, a quantizer, and an output driver for driving the output load, the outer feedback loop having an outer loop feedback gain and an inner feedback loop comprising the one or more integrators and the quantizer and excluding the output driver, wherein the inner feedback loop has a variable inner loop feedback gain which is adjustable to match the outer loop feedback gain.

Abstract: An amplifier may include a first stage configured to receive an input signal at an amplifier input and generate an intermediate signal which is a function of the input signal, and a final output stage configured to generate an output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal at an amplifier output, and a signal feedback network coupled between the amplifier output and input. The final output stage may be switchable among a plurality of modes including at least a first mode in which the final output stage generates the output signal as a modulated output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal, and a second mode in which the final output stage generates the output signal as an unmodulated output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal. Structure of the feedback network and the first stage may remain static when switching between modes.
