    摘要: A zero-crossing detection circuit includes a logic unit and an input stop detection unit. The logic unit is configured to estimate a zero cross of an AC signal in accordance with at least one of a first monitoring target signal and a second monitoring target signal, respectively input through diodes from a first node and a second node between which the AC signal is applied, so as to generate a zero-crossing detection signal. The input stop detection unit is configured to compare the first monitoring target signal with the second monitoring target signal after giving an offset to one of them so as to generate an input stop detection signal. The logic unit is configured to fix a logic level of the zero-crossing detection signal in accordance with the input stop detection signal.

    摘要: An ANC system is provided, including an AD converter performing an AD conversion on an external noise signal; an ANC signal generator generating an ANC signal for canceling a noise component arriving at ears of a user based on an output signal of the AD converter; a level detector detecting a level of the output signal and causes the ANC signal generator to power down in response to the level; and a zero-cross detector detecting a zero-cross timing of the ANC signal. The level detector starts measuring a time when the level is equal to or less than a first threshold value, and causes the ANC signal generator to perform a power down operation when the zero-cross timing is detected after the measured time exceeds the predetermined value, and causes the ANC signal generator to exit from the power down operation when the level exceeds a second threshold value.

    摘要: An ANC system includes an AD converter which performs AD conversion on an external noise signal, an ANC signal generator which generates an ANC signal for canceling a noise component arriving at the ears of a user based on an output signal of the AD converter, and a level detector which detects a level of the output signal and causes the ANC signal generator to power down in response to the level. The level detector measures a time for which the level is equal to or less than a predetermined first threshold value, causes the ANC signal generator or a portion of blocks of the AD converter to power down after the measured time exceeds a predetermined value, and causes the ANC signal generator or a portion of blocks of the AD converter to return from the power down when the level exceeds a predetermined second threshold value.
