A handheld audio system includes a radio signal decoder integrated circuit (IC) and a digital audio processing integrated circuit. The radio signal decoder integrated circuit produces a digital left channel signal and a digital right channel signal from a received radio signal in accordance with an enable signal and also produces a system clock. The digital audio processing integrated circuit includes a DC-to-DC converter and a processing module. The DC-to-DC converter is operably coupled to produce at least one power supply voltage based on the system clock. The processing module is operably coupled to produce the enable signal when the at least one power supply voltage has reached a desired level and to produce audio signals for audio playback from at least one of the digital left and right channel signals and a stored digital audio file.

A method for mitigating interference from a switched-mode power supply begins by comparing a channel of interest of a plurality of channels with a switching rate of a switch-mode power supply. The method continues when the channel of interest compares unfavorably to the switching rate by adjusting the switching rate of the switch-mode power supply until the channel of interest compares favorably to the switching rate.

A method and apparatus for enabling a stand-alone integrated circuit (IC) includes processing that begins by establishing an idle state that holds at least a portion of the stand-alone integrated circuit in a reset condition when a power source is operably coupled to the stand-alone integrated circuit. A stand-alone integrated circuit includes generally an on-chip power converter, a reset circuit and some functional circuitry, which may be a microprocessor, digital signal processor digital circuitry, state machine, logic circuitry, analog circuitry, and/or any type of components and/or circuits that perform a desired electrical function. When a power enable signal is received, the on-chip power converter is enabled to generate at least 1 supply from the power source. The processing continues by enabling functionality of the stand-alone integrated circuit when the at least one supply has substantially reached a steady state condition.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving and processing an incoming radio frequency (RF) signal in a receiver. Based on this signal, an environmental noise level can be determined, where this level corresponds to environmental noise present in an environment in which the receiver is located. Then, if the environmental noise level is substantially greater than receiver-generated noise, power consumption of at least one analog front end component of the receiver can be reduced.

Systems and methods for controlling operation of an integrated circuit by applying below ground voltage to one or more pins of the integrated circuit, and in which the application of a below ground pin voltage may be employed as an initiator of (or condition for) a given mode of circuit operation in a manner that prevents the inadvertent initiation of the given mode of operation that may otherwise occur due to accidental application of an above ground voltage to one or more pins of the integrated circuit.
