    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.A method for generating a not-yet (NYET) signal in a recovered reference system for recovering a device reference clock on a device, wherein the NYET signal indicates that the device is not yet ready for transition into a low power mode, in order to improve a quality of a recovered reference clock representative of a host reference clock of a host communicatively coupled to the device, may be provided. The method may include detecting receipt of start-of-frame markers from the host to the device, responsive to detecting receipt of the markers, determining whether a condition for NYET generation is being met, responsive to the condition for NYET generation being met, generating the NYET signal to cause the host to continue generating the markers, and responsive to the condition for NYET generation not being met, causing the device to generate an acknowledge signal for transition of the device into the low power mode.

    Abstract: A system may include an audio coder-decoder (codec) having a plurality of digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a serial interface communicatively coupled to the audio codec wherein the serial interface is configured to communicate audio streams to or from the audio codec, wherein the audio codec is configured to be configured as a device on the serial interface, and logic configured to control performance of a communication path within the audio codec based on one or more system conditions associated with the system.

    Abstract: An apparatus for generating an output signal, may comprise a signal path having an analog signal path portion having an analog magnitude droop, a digital signal path portion having a digital magnitude droop, a digital-to-analog converter for converting the digital input signal into the analog signal, a first digital compensation filter that compensates for the analog magnitude droop, and a second digital compensation filter that compensates for the digital magnitude droop, such that the first digital compensation filter and the second digital compensation filter together compensate for magnitude droop of the signal path to ensure a substantially flat passband response of the signal path.An apparatus may include a delta-sigma modulator for quantization noise shaping of a digital signal, a digital-to-analog converter configured to generate an analog signal from the digital signal, and an amplifier configured to amplify the analog signal and powered from a charge pump, wherein the charge pump is configured to operate at a switching frequency approximately equal to a zero of a modulator noise transfer function of the delta-sigma modulator, such that the impact of charge pump noise on a total harmonic distortion noise of the apparatus is minimized
