    摘要: Systems and methods are described for enhancing the audio quality of an FM receiver. In embodiments described herein, a stop band noise signal is extracted from an L+R or L−R signal produced by an FM stereo decoder. A channel quality measure is calculated based on the stop band noise signal and is used to control whether a pop suppression technique is applied to the L+R signal. The channel quality measure and the stop band noise signal are also leveraged to perform single-channel noise suppression in the frequency domain on the L−R signal and on the L+R signal. The channel quality measure is also used to control the application of a fast fading compensation process that replaces noisy segments of the L−R and L+R signal with replacement waveforms generated via waveform extrapolation.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for enhancing the audio quality of an FM receiver. In embodiments described herein, quadrature L−R demodulation is applied to a composite baseband signal output by an FM demodulator to obtain an L−R noise signal. A channel quality measure is calculated based on the L−R noise signal and is used to control whether a pop suppression technique is applied to an L+R signal obtained from the composite baseband signal to detect and remove noise pulses therefrom. The channel quality measure and the L−R noise signal are also leveraged to perform single-channel noise suppression in the frequency domain on an L−R signal obtained from the composite baseband signal and on the L+R signal. The channel quality measure is also used to control the application of a fast fading compensation process that replaces noisy segments of the L−R and L+R signal with replacement waveforms generated via waveform extrapolation.

    摘要: Methods are provided for improving the efficiency of clock gating within low power clock trees. In a first aspect, a correlation level between a plurality of clock gating signals and their corresponding gates which gate a source clock is determined. The clock gating signals and their corresponding gates are combined into a single clock gating signal and a single corresponding gate if a preselected level of correlation exists therebetween. In a second aspect, an area overlap is determined for a plurality of sinks, and one of the gated drovers of the sinks is removed. The sinks of the removed gated driver then are connected to a remaining gated driver driven by a single clock gating signal and a single corresponding gate. In a third aspect, physically proximate sink clusters are rewired to generate a pure clock gating group within each sink cluster if rewiring the clusters increases wiring length by less than a predetermined amount. In a fourth aspect, a clock gating group is selected and the power dissipation is computed for all sinks within the selected group assuming all the sinks therein are wired without clock gating. The power dissipation also is computed assuming all the sinks therein are gated. If the power dissipation for all sinks within the selected group is reduced by individually wiring the sinks therein, the group is ungated. A computer program product also is provided having a computer readable medium with means for performing the first, second, third and/or fourth aspects of the invention.

    摘要: A first interleaved address generator is configured to generate a first interleaved address, and a second interleaved address generator is configured to generate a second interleaved address substantially concurrently with the first interleaved address generator generating the first interleaved address. A controller is configured to disable the second interleaved address generator from generating the second interleaved address if the second interleaved address is not needed to produce a continuous stream of interleaved addresses.
