| 20100220875 | POP-UP NOISE SUPPRESSION IN AUDIO - Systems and methods for suppressing pop-up noise in an audio signal are disclosed. The system includes a driver circuit shared by a pin interface and a complementary pin interface. A control unit is coupled to the pin interface and the complementary pin interface. To activate the pin interface, the control unit is configured to first activate the driver output at the complementary pin interface. Once the complementary pin interface achieves a preset voltage, the driver output is switched to the pin interface by the control unit. In addition, the driver circuit can be calibrated for a DC offset on the complementary pin interface by re-using calibration data calculated at the pin interface. Further, DC correction signals can be provided from a pre-biasing circuit based on the calibration data of the driver circuit. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100220868 | COUPLING OF SPEAKERS WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - Systems and methods for a low pin architecture to couple speakers with integrated circuits are disclosed herein. In an implementation, the low pin architecture facilitates in reducing the required pin interfaces to couple a low power speaker, a high power speaker, and earphone speakers with integrated circuits (ICs). For this, the high power speaker can be cross-coupled between the pin interfaces that are coupled to the low power speaker and the earphone speakers. These pin interfaces are driven by corresponding driver circuits. In said implementation, some of the driver circuits can be shared to drive multiple pin interfaces. These shared driver circuits include a combined cascode circuit having a first cascode circuit integrated with a second cascode circuit to reliably and selectively drive one or more of the pin interfaces. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100219871 | GENERATION OF A LOW JITTER CLOCK SIGNAL - Systems and methods for generation of a low jitter clock signal for wireless circuits are disclosed. In an implementation, the system includes a wireless circuit powered by a first power supply and a low jitter clock (LJC) generator powered by a second power supply. The LJC generator provides at least one clock signal to the wireless circuit. The system further includes an LJC driver circuit including a clock buffer powered by the first power supply and a receive buffer powered by the second power supply. | 09-02-2010 |
