Abstract: The present disclosure relates to circuitry for detecting connection of a plug of an audio accessory device to a socket of an intermediate cable that is connected to a host device, wherein the plug of the accessory device is of a different type than the socket of the intermediate cable. The circuitry comprises a monitoring unit comprising a first terminal configured to be electrically connected to a first socket contact of the socket that is in electrical contact with a first plug contact of the plug when the plug is fully received in the socket; and a second terminal configured to be electrically connected to a second socket contact of the socket that is in electrical contact with a second plug contact of the plug when the plug is fully received in the socket. The monitoring unit is configured to: detect a first impedance of a first signal path from the first terminal; detect a second impedance of a second signal path from the first terminal; and detect a third impedance of a third signal path from the second terminal, wherein the circuitry is configured to output a signal indicative of detection of connection of the plug to the socket in response to detection by the monitoring unit that the detected first, second and third impedances do not correspond to expected first, second and third impedances.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to voltage regulator circuitry. The voltage regulator circuitry comprises an output device configured to provide a regulated output voltage and a controllable shunt device configured to provide a current path from the output device for a shunt current. The shunt current is variable according to a control signal supplied to the controllable shunt device.
