Abstract: A single chip audio system 100 includes a bus interface 101, digital to analog converters 110, an analog mixer 115, and analog spatial enhancement circuitry 7500. Digital to analog converters 110 convert digital audio data received through bus interface 101 into analog signals. Analog mixer 115 mixes signals received from digital to analog converters 110 with an analog signal received from an external source. Analog spatial enhancement circuitry 7500 enhances first and second mixed analog signals output from analog mixer 115.

Abstract: An adaptive filter is provided which has fixed point or floating point data stored in a data RAM (74) and block scale floating point coefficients stored in a coefficient RAM (84). The data and coefficients are utilized in a filter algorithm which utilizes a multiplier and an accumulator to provide a convolution result. Coefficients are updated by adding the multiplied result of the data RAM value and the error value to the old value of the coefficient. This is done for all the coefficient values in the coefficient RAM. The error value indicates the difference between the filter output and the sampled near-end signal that is the echo. These new coefficients are examined and if any have a value above or all have a value below a predetermined threshold, then the mantissas of all the coefficients are shifted and the exponent adjusted in the next filter cycle.

Abstract: A periodic multi-bit digital signal is synthesized having a frequency that is specified by the frequency of a periodic reference signal that is asynchronous with respect to a sampling clock of the periodic digital signal. In a digital video system, for example, a digital color subcarrier is synthesized and synchronized to a reference frequency of a crystal oscillator that is asynchronous with respect to a digital system clock for the digital video system. The periodic digital signal is generated by an adjustable digital oscillator clocked by the sampling clock. The frequency or phase of the periodic digital signal is compared to the frequency or phase of the periodic reference signal to produce an adjustment value for adjusting the periodic digital signal to synchronize the periodic digital signal with the periodic reference signal. The digital oscillator, for example, generates the periodic digital signal at the sampling rate by periodically incrementing an accumulator with the adjustment value.

Abstract: A method of generating zero detect flag at the output of an adder adding a first vector and a second vector to generate a third vector. A fourth vector is generated from the third vector a carry propagation vector and a carry generation vector. A fifth vector generated using an incremented third vector and an incremented carry propagation vector. A sixth vector generated from the fourth vector and the fifth vector. The bits of the sixth vector bitwise added to obtain the zero detection flag.

Abstract: A double-talk detector for an echo canceller includes power estimators (60) and (62) which are utilized to measure the ERLE value in a calculator (64). This ERLE is stored in a register (70) when it is the largest value generated. This register (70) is updated whenever a new and better ERLE occurs. A fraction of the value in register (70) is utilized as an input to a comparator (88), and then compared to the current ERIE value. If the current ERLE differs from the SERLE in register (70) an inhibit signal is generated for blocking the updates of an adaptive filter (40). The value stored in the register (70) is periodically decremented to reduce the value thereof. This decrement operation is performed in response to detection of an utterance from the far-end. A half-Duplex operation is provided with two attentuators (352) and (354) to provide a switching operation and allow only one side access to the communication path.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter is comprised of an analog delta-sigma modulator (10) and a digital processing section (14). The digital processing section (14) is comprised of a plurality of digital processing sections fabricated on a monolithic device. A high precision FIR filter (20) is provided for providing a high resolution output on a bus (22). Additionally, a low group delay FIR filter (30) is provided to filter the data and provide an output with a much lower delay than that of the FIR filter (20). The output of filter (20) can either be processed through a high-pass filter (40) and/or through a noise shaping psycho-acoustic filter (36) to provide select outputs. These outputs are all input to the serial interface device (52), which is operable to select one of the outputs, that of the filter (30), that of the filter (20), or that of the output of the noise shaping filter (36) or that of the filter (40) for conversion to a serial data stream.

Abstract: A calibrated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is provided that includes a DAC having an interpolation circuit (40) and delta-sigma converter (44). The output of the delta-sigma converter (44) is input to a one-bit DAC (48) and the output thereof filtered by an analog low pass filter section (50). During a calibration procedure, a calibrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (22) is utilized that is operable to receive the analog output of the DAC with a "0" value input thereto through a multiplexer (58). The output of the ADC (22) represents the inherent error in the delta-sigma converter (44) and the analog filter section (50). This is stored in a register (62). In a second step of the operation, the contents of the register (62) are input through the interpolation circuit for interpolation thereof and storage in an offset register/latch circuit (56).

Abstract: A calibration system for a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) includes a digital portion (10) having a interpolation section (14) for receiving the digital input and increasing the sampling frequency thereof for input to a delta-sigma modulator (16). A summing junction (24) is disposed between the interpolation circuit (14) and the delta-sigma modulator (16) to allow an offset voltage to be summed therewith. The offset value is stored in an offset register (26), which is controlled by a calibration control circuit (40). The output of the delta-sigma modulator (16) is input to an analog section (12), which is comprised of an analog filter (22) and an output amplifier (28). The output amplifier (28) is operable to sample the output of the analog filter (22) and feed this back to a gate (38). The gate (38) is activated during a calibration cycle to feed the comparator output back to the calibration control circuit (40).
