    摘要: This application describes method and apparatus for data conversion. An analogue-to-digital converter circuit receives an analogue input signal (SIN) and outputs a digital output signal (SOUT) The circuit has a sampling capacitor, a controlled oscillator and a counter for generating a count value based on a number of oscillations in an output of the controlled oscillator in a count period during a read-out phase. The digital output signal is based on the count value. The converter circuit is operable in a sampling phase and the read-out phase. In the sampling phase, the sampling capacitor is coupled to an input node for the input signal, e.g. via switch. In the read-out phase, the sampling capacitor is coupled to the controlled oscillator, e.g. via switch, such that capacitor powers the first controlled oscillator and a frequency of oscillation in the output of the first controlled oscillator depends on the voltage of the first capacitor.

    摘要: A speech signal is received by a device comprising first and second transducers, and the first transducer comprises a microphone. A method comprises performing a first voice biometric process on speech contained in a first part of a signal received by the microphone, in order to determine whether the speech is the speech of an enrolled user. A first correlation is determined, between said first part of the signal received by the microphone and a corresponding part of the signal received by the second transducer. A second correlation is determined, between said second part of the signal received by the microphone and the corresponding part of the signal received by the second transducer. It is then determined whether the first correlation and the second correlation satisfy a predetermined condition. If it is determined that the speech contained in the first part of the received signal is the speech of an enrolled user and that the first correlation and the second correlation satisfy the predetermined condition, the received speech signal is authenticated.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to circuitry for driving a piezoelectric transducer to generate an audio output. The circuitry comprises pre-processor circuitry configured to process an input audio signal to generate a processed signal; driver circuitry coupled to the pre-processor circuitry and configured to generate a drive signal, based on the processed signal, for driving the piezoelectric transducer; and processor circuitry configured to determine a resonant frequency of the piezoelectric transducer. The pre-processor circuitry is configured to process the input audio signal based on the determined resonant frequency so as to generate the processed signal.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to circuitry for driving a piezoelectric transducer. The circuitry may be implemented as an integrated circuit and comprises driver circuitry configured to supply a drive signal to cause the transducer to generate an output signal and active inductor circuitry configured to be coupled with the piezoelectric transducer. The active inductor circuitry may be tuneable to adjust a frequency characteristic of the output signal.
