摘要： A speaker impedance may be determined by monitoring a voltage and/or current of the speaker. The calculated impedance may be used to determine whether the mobile device containing the speaker is on- or off-ear. The impedance determination may be assisted by applying a test tone low level signal to the speaker. The test tone may be inaudible to the user, but used to determine an impedance of the speaker at the frequency of the test tone. The impedance at that test tone may be used to determine whether a resonance frequency of the speaker is at a frequency corresponding to an on- or off-ear condition. The measured speaker impedance may be provided as feedback to an adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) algorithm to adjust the output at the speaker. For example, when the mobile device is removed from the user's ear, the ANC algorithm may be disabled.

摘要： A power train may have a power train input and a power train output, wherein the power train is configured to transfer electrical energy from the power train input to a load coupled to the power train output in conformity with one or more power train control signals. A scheduler may be configured to receive events from the power train and, responsive to each particular event, schedule execution of a thread of control instructions responsive to the particular event, wherein the thread is selected from a plurality of threads. A processor may be configured to execute the threads of control instructions scheduled by the scheduler, such that for each particular event the processor generates one or more power train control signals responsive to the particular event within a first switching cycle of receipt of the particular event or within a second switching cycle immediately subsequent to the first switching cycle.

摘要： An integrated circuit may have two signal paths: an open-loop modulator (which may comprise a digital-input Class-D amplifier) and a closed-loop modulator (which may comprise an analog-input Class-D amplifier). A control subsystem may be capable of selecting either of the open-loop modulator or the closed-loop modulator as a selected path based on one or more characteristics (e.g., signal magnitude) of an input audio signal. For example, for higher-magnitude signals, the closed-loop modulator may be selected while the open-loop modulator may be selected for lower-magnitude signals. In some instances, when the open-loop modulator is selected as the selected path, the closed-loop modulator may power off, which may reduce power consumption. In addition, one or more techniques may be applied to reduce or eliminate user-perceptible audio artifacts caused by switching between the open-loop modulator and the closed-loop modulator, and vice versa.
摘要翻译：集成电路可以具有两个信号路径：开环调制器（其可以包括数字输入D类放大器）和闭环调制器（其可以包括模拟输入D类放大器）。控制子系统可以基于输入音频信号的一个或多个特性（例如，信号幅度）来选择开环调制器或闭环调制器中的任一个作为选择的路径。例如，对于较高幅度的信号，可以选择闭环调制器，同时为低电平信号选择开环调制器。在一些情况下，当选择开环调制器作为选择的路径时，闭环调制器可以断电，这可能降低功耗。此外，可以应用一种或多种技术来减少或消除由开环调制器和闭环调制器之间的切换引起的用户可感知的音频伪像，反之亦然。

摘要： A method for cancelling ambient audio sounds in the proximity of a transducer may include receiving an error microphone signal indicative of the output of the transducer and ambient audio sounds at the transducer. The method may also include generating an anti-noise signal for countering the effects of ambient audio sounds at an acoustic output of the transducer, wherein generating the anti-noise signal comprises applying a feedback filter having a response that generates a feedback anti-noise signal based on the error microphone signal and applying a variable gain element in series with the feedback filter. The method may further include monitoring whether an ambient audio event is occurring that could cause the feedback filter to generate an undesirable component in the anti-noise signal and controlling the gain of the variable gain element to reduce the undesirable component.

摘要： A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) may be used in a power stage DC-to-DC converter, such as a converter in LED-based light bulbs. The power stage may be operated by a controller to maintain a desired current output to the LED load. A resistor may be coupled to the BJT through a switch at the emitter of the BJT. The switch may regulate operation of the BJT by allowing current flow to ground through the resistor. The controller may perform measurements of the resistor to allow higher accuracy determinations of the current through the BJT and thus improve regulation of current to the LED load.

摘要： A fully depleted region may be used to reduce poly-to-substrate parasitic capacitance in an electronic device with poly-silicon layer. When the fully depleted region is located at least partially beneath the electronic device, an additional parasitic capacitance is formed between the fully depleted region and the substrate region. This additional parasitic capacitance is coupled in series with a first parasitic capacitance between a poly-silicon layer of the electronic device and the doped region. The series combination of the first parasitic capacitance and the additional parasitic capacitance results in an overall reduction of parasitic capacitance experience by an electronic device. The structure may include two doped regions on sides of the electronic device to form a fully depleted region based on lateral interaction of dopant in the doped regions and the substrate region.
