  • Audio processing devices with port output circuits controlled by PC beep signal activity
    Patent number: 9686607
    Abstract: An audio processing integrated circuit chip, such as codec chip, includes at least one port output circuit configured to generate an audio signal to drive an external audio device and a PC beep circuit configured to receive a PC beep signal and to apply the received PC beep signal to an input of the at least one port output circuit. The chip further includes a control circuit configured to detect activity of the PC beep signal and to enable and/or disable the at least one port output circuit responsive to the detected activity.

  • Digital microphone interface, audio codec and methods for use therewith
    Publication number: 20070133826
    Abstract: A digital microphone interface includes a phase generator for generating a phase signal. A clock generator produces a digital microphone clock at a selected frequency based on the frequency select signal, and supplying the digital microphone clock to a digital microphone. A first data latch, operably coupled to the phase generator, produces a stream of first data from a first channel of the digital microphone, based on a phase select signal and the phase signal.

  • AUDIO CODEC ADAPTED TO DUAL BIT-STREAMS AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH
    Publication number: 20070132624
    Abstract: A audio codec includes a first analog to digital converter for producing a first one-bit data stream, a second one-bit data stream is received from a digital microphone. A selection module produces a one-bit output signal that is the first one-bit data stream when a selection signal is in a first state, and produces a the one-bit output signal that is the second one-bit data stream when the selection signal is in a second state. A decimation and filter module produces a down sampled signal based on the one-bit output signal.
