Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computing system. The computing system comprises a data input configured to receive an input data signal, a computation unit having an input coupled with the data input, the computation unit being operative to apply a weight to a signal received at its input to generate a weighted output signal, and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor a parameter of the input signal and/or a parameter of the output signal and to issue a control signal to the computation unit to control a level of accuracy of the weighted output signal based at least in part on the monitored parameter.

Abstract: This application relates to audio driving circuitry (100), and in particular to audio driving circuitry for outputting first and second audio driving signals for driving a stereo audio load (106), which may be a stereo audio load of an accessory apparatus (102) removably coupled to the audio driving circuitry in use. A load monitor (111) is provided for monitoring to monitor, from a monitoring node (112), an indication of a common mode return current passing through a common return path, together with an indication of a common mode component of the first and second audio driving signals and to determine an impedance characteristic of the stereo audio load. The load monitor (111) can provide dynamic monitoring of any significant change in load impedance. In some embodiments the load monitor (111) comprises an adaptive filter (301) which adapts a parameter of the filter which is related to the load impedance so as to determine the indication of load impedance.

Abstract: Driver circuitry for driving an electromechanical load with a drive output signal based on a digital reference signal at a first sample rate, the drive output signal inducing a first electrical quantity at the electromechanical load, the driver circuitry comprising: a function block configured, based on said first electrical quantity, to digitally determine at a second sample rate higher than the first sample rate an adjustment signal indicative of a second electrical quantity which would be induced at a target output impedance of the driver circuitry due to said first electrical quantity; and a driver configured to generate the drive output signal based on the reference signal and the adjustment signal to cause the drive output signal to behave as if an output impedance of the driver circuitry has been adjusted to comprise the target output impedance, wherein the first electrical quantity is a current and the second electrical quantity is a voltage, or vice versa.

Abstract: A method for processing audio data for output to a transducer may include receiving an audio signal, filtering the audio signal with a fixed filter having fixed filter coefficients to generate a filtered audio signal, and outputting the filtered audio signal to the transducer. The fixed filter coefficients of the fixed filter may be tuned by using a psychoacoustic model of the transducer to determine audibility masking thresholds for a plurality of frequency sub-bands, allocating compensation coefficients to the plurality of frequency sub-bands, and fitting the fixed filter coefficients with the compensation coefficients allocated to the plurality of sub-bands.

Abstract: This application relates to digital PWM modulation. A PWM modulator (400, 1100) has a PWM generator (402) configured to receive pulse width data (PWidth) and to output a PWM signal (SPWM) comprising a plurality of repeating PWM cycle periods, in which the duration of any pulse of the PWM signal in each PWM cycle period is based on the pulse width data. The PWM generator is configured to synchronise the PWM cycle periods, and the start and end of any PWM pulse, to a received first clock signal. The PWM generator is operable to generate pulses that have a positional error from a centred position within the PWM cycle period and a pulse position controller (403) is configured to control the position of a pulse in a PWM cycle period so as to at least partly compensate for the positional error of one or more preceding pulses.

Abstract: An active noise cancellation (ANC) system including a selectable decimation rate decimator that receives an oversampled digital input and has an input that selects the decimation rate, a filter that receives an output of the decimator, and a selectable interpolation rate interpolator that receives an output of the filter and has an input that selects the interpolation rate. The selectable decimation rate decimator and the selectable interpolation rate interpolator operate to provide a selectable sample rate for the filter based on the selected decimation and interpolation rates. The filter may be an anti-noise filter, feedback filter, and/or a filter that models an acoustic transfer function of the ANC system. Rate selection may be static, or dynamically controlled based on battery or ambient noise level. A ratio of the decimation rate and the interpolation rate is fixed independent of the dynamically controlled decimation and interpolation rates.

Abstract: A device may include an input for receiving information communicated from a host to the device and a controller configured to recover a device reference clock on the device, the device reference clock proportional to a host reference clock of the host, when clock signaling from the host to the device is unavailable. The controller may recover the device reference clock by measuring a ratio between the host reference clock and the device reference clock of the device by monitoring, with the device, host start-of-frame markers communicated from the host to the device via the input, creating a recovered reference clock based on the measured ratio, and creating local start-of-frame markers that are phase locked with the host start-of-frame markers based on the recovered reference clock.
