Abstract: An apparatus includes a functional circuit, including a power supply node, and a test circuit. The functional circuit is configured to operate in a test mode that includes generating respective test output patterns in response to application of a plurality of test stimulus patterns. The test circuit is configured to identify a particular test stimulus pattern of the plurality of test stimulus patterns, and to reapply the particular test stimulus pattern to the functional circuit multiple times. The test circuit is further configured to vary, for each reapplication, a start time of the particular test stimulus pattern in relation to when a voltage level of the power supply node is sampled for that reapplication.

Abstract: A media processing system and device with improved power usage characteristics, improved audio functionality and improved media security is provided. Embodiments of the media processing system include an audio processing subsystem that operates independently of the host processor for long periods of time, allowing the host processor to enter a low power state while the audio data is being processed. Other aspects of the media processing system provide for enhanced audio effects such as mixing stored audio samples into real-time telephone audio. Still other aspects of the media processing system provide for improved media security due to the isolation of decrypted audio data from the host processor.
