Abstract: A signal conversion from an input signal to an output signal where the filter used is factorized so that the conversion comprises determining 1) only a first factor at each sampling time of the input signal, where this first factor is independent on the sampling times of the output signal, and 2) only a second factor at each sampling time of the output signal, where this second factor is independent of the sampling times of the input signal. This reduces the computational load for this conversion. In addition, for most filters, the factors may be calculated recursively further increasing the computational load and also reducing the storage requirements. This allows for instantaneous changes in the sampling rates or non-uniform sampling rates with low computational requirements and low memory usage.

Abstract: Digital signal processing circuitry, in operation, determines, based on accelerometer data, a carry-position of a device. Double-tap detection parameters are set using the determined carry-position. Double-taps are detected using the set double-tap detection parameters. In response to detection of a double-tap, control signals, such as a flag or an interrupt signal, are generated and used to control operation of the device. For example, a device may enter a wake mode of operation in response to detection of a double-tap.
