Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described to increase a signal-to-noise ratio difference between a main channel and reference channel. The increased signal-to-noise ratio difference is accomplished with an adaptive threshold for a desired voice activity detector (DVAD) and shaping filters. The DVAD includes averaging an output signal of a reference microphone channel to provide an estimated average background noise level. A threshold value is selected from a plurality of threshold values based on the estimated average background noise level. The threshold value is used to detect desired voice activity on a main microphone channel.

Abstract: Programming time delay data in an oversampled sensor includes determining whether to enter Programming Mode based on a value of a system parameter received by the oversampled sensor. Programming Mode is entered when the value of the system parameter corresponds to Programming Mode. The time delay data is programmed in the oversampled sensor during Programming Mode. The oversampled sensor uses the time delay data to time delay its output in an oversampled domain. Programming Mode is exited after a predetermined time has expired relative to when Programming Mode was entered. The system parameter can be a frequency of a sampling clock signal.
