  • Automatic gain control
    Patent number: 8432225
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for receiving an input signal and power supply information, and amplifying the input signal by a gain value determined as a function of the power supply information.
    Type: Grant

  • PROGRAMMABLE NOISE GATE FOR AUDIO AMPLIFIER EMPLOYING A COMBINATION OF LOW-NOISE AND NOISE-REJECTING ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20110255698
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a first signal circuit path, a noise gate circuit, and a control circuit. The first signal circuit path processes a first electrical signal that includes one or more signal frequencies in the audio frequency band. The first signal circuit path includes a first amplifier circuit configured to provide a first output signal to a speaker load. The noise gate circuit monitors the first electrical signal and generates a first indication when the amplitude of the first electrical signal decreases below a first specified threshold voltage value. The control circuit mutes an output of the first signal circuit path according to the generated indication. The apparatus is formed on a single integrated circuit.
