Abstract: A method of generating an audible alert by a digital audio system configured to operate in a first operating mode and a second operating mode is described. An alert signal is generated or received. One or more segments of the generated or received alert signal is processed. The processed alert signal is then analysed to define the operating mode of the digital audio system. In the first operating mode, the alert output signal includes at least the alert signal. In the second operating mode, the alert output signal includes at least the processed alert signal.

Abstract: An audio processor and method of audio processing for an amplifier system is described. The audio processor may receive an audio signal and adapt the audio signal generating a time varying offset. The time varying offset may be combined with the audio signal resulting in a shifted the audio signal level. The processed audio signal may also be clipped to remove the negative samples values. The processed signal may be used to drive an amplifier designed to only accept positive (or negative) signals such as a class C amplifier.

Abstract: In one example, a communications circuit processes an amplitude modulated signal by using a first circuit having signal paths to process an amplitude modulated signal as represented by an in-phase component and by a quadrature component, and by using a second circuit to discern random noise pulses from the quadrature component of the amplitude modulated signal. In response, the second circuit generates an estimate of overall noise representing the random noise pulses in the amplitude modulated signal. In the above and more specific examples, the random noise pulses may appear as pulses which overlap with, in terms of time and bandwidth of frequency spectrum, information of the amplitude modulated signal, and the first and second circuits may be part of an RF radio receiving the amplitude modulated signal from an antenna.

Abstract: A load detector for an audio system comprising a closed-loop amplifier is described. The load detector includes a noise detector configured to be coupled to the output of the closed-loop amplifier. The noise detector detects a noise signal at least partially generated by the amplifier. The generated noise signal comprises frequencies outside the audible frequency range due to the noise shaping of the amplifier. The load detector further includes a parameter calculation module having an input coupled to the output of the noise detector and an output. The parameter calculation module is configured to determine a parameter value relating to an impedance of the amplifier output load from the detected noise signal and to output a load detection signal dependent on the determined parameter value. The load detector may detect the presence of a load such as a tweeter without generating a reference signal.

Abstract: A receiver circuit comprising a first-input-terminal configured to receive an analogue-input-signal, which is representative of audio-data; and a second-input-terminal configured to receive a digital-input-signal, which is representative of the same audio-data as the analogue-input-signal. The receiver circuit also includes a noise-estimator configured to determine a noise-signal that is representative of a difference between the analogue-input-signal and the digital-input-signal; and a de-noiser that is configured to determine a de-noised-signal by applying a de-noising algorithm to the analogue-input-signal based on the noise-signal.

Abstract: An audio system is described including an audio processor, an amplifier and a speaker and a distortion estimator. The distortion estimator calculates at least one of an expected response of the amplifier to an audio signal and an expected response of the loudspeaker to an audio signal. The distortion estimator is operable to generate a distortion prediction signal determined by a difference between an expected non-linear response of at least one of the loudspeaker and the amplifier and an expected linear response of at least one of the loudspeaker and the amplifier. A controller coupled to the audio processor and a control input of the audio processor may vary the operating parameters of the audio processor depending on the estimated distortion.
