    摘要: This application relates to methods and apparatus for transfer of data between a host device (400) and a peripheral device (300) via a USB Type-C connector (100; 304) of the host device. A data controller is described that has a path controller (309, 310; 706) for establishing signal paths between circuitry of the host device and contacts (101) of said USB Type-C connector. The path controller is operable in at least first and second modes. In the first mode the path controller establishes separate signal paths to each of at least first, second, third and fourth contacts (A6, A7, B6, B7) of the USB Type-C connector and a plurality of the established signal paths are for transfer of analogue audio data. In the second mode the path controller establishes a pair of signal paths to only a subset of said first to fourth contacts to provide a differential digital data path.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for detection and tracking of a signal envelope. The circuit comprises absolute value circuitry configured to receive data samples and output a first value corresponding to the magnitude of said data samples. An envelope tracker maintains an envelope output value and compares the first value to the current envelope output value and modifies the envelope output value based on said comparison to provide the envelope output value with predetermined attack and decay characteristics. The absolute value circuitry has a first input for receiving a first digital signal at a first sample rate and a second input for receiving an interpolated version of the first digital signal at a second sample rate which is higher than the first sample rate and outputs the first value based on the magnitudes of the samples received at the first input and the samples received at the second input. Using the first digital signal provides an early indication of any increases in signal envelope whereas the second digital signal can allow a more accurate estimation.

    摘要: A host device for use with a removable peripheral apparatus having a microphone, and to the biasing circuitry for said microphone. The host device may have a device connector for forming a mating connection with a respective peripheral connector. A source of bias is arranged to supply an electrical bias to a device microphone contact of the device connector via a biasing path. A capacitor is connected between a reference voltage node and a capacitor node of the biasing path. A first switch is located between the capacitor node and the device microphone contact. Detection circuitry detects disconnection of the peripheral connector and device connector; and control circuitry controls the switch to disable the biasing path.
