    Abstract: A switch control circuit monitors a signal produced by a MEMS or other capacitor microphone. When a criterion is met, for example when the amplitude of the monitored signal exceeds a threshold or the monitored signal has been clipped or analysis of the monitored signal indicates clipping is imminent or likely, the switch control circuit operates one or more switches so as to selectively connect one or more capacitors to a signal line from the microphone, i.e., so as to connect a selected capacitance to the signal line to attenuate the signal from the microphone and, therefore, avoid clipping. The switches may be MOSFET, MEMS or other types of switches co-located with the microphone in a common semiconductor package. Similarly, the capacitors, a circuit that processes the signals from the microphone and/or the switch control circuit may be co-located with the microphone in a common semiconductor package.

    Abstract: An FM audio receiver can include a mono/stereo detector that causes the audio receiver to output either a monophonic or a stereophonic signal based on a received pilot tone energy. An accurate operation of the receiver, including but not limited to correct decoding of monophonic/stereophonic reception, can be based on the receiver operating with the same rated maximum system deviation (RMSD) as the received signal itself. Aspects of the disclosure describe a system and method of detecting and matching a receiver's RMSD to that of a received signal by demodulating a carrier bearing a an input signal over a first bandwidth, extracting a pilot energy signal from the input signal, and demodulating the carrier bearing the input signal over a second bandwidth if the pilot energy signal is within a pilot energy range for a first predetermined amount of time.

    Abstract: A receiver may estimate a channel condition based on a difference between a pilot energy signal and a filtered pilot energy signal. The receiver may further switch to a stereophonic mode when both the difference and an energy level of the pilot energy signal satisfy a predetermined requirement of the receiver, and switch to a monophonic mode when either the difference or the energy level of the pilot energy signal fail to satisfy the predetermined requirement of the receiver.

    Abstract: A multi-channel synthesizer includes a post processor for determining post processed reconstruction parameters or quantities derived from the reconstruction parameter for an actual time portion of the input signal so that the post processed reconstruction parameter or the post processed quantity is different from the corresponding quantized and inversely quantized reconstruction parameter in that the value of the post processed reconstruction parameter or the derived quantity is not bound by the quantization step size. A multi-channel reconstructor uses the post-processed reconstruction parameter for reconstructing the multi-channel output signal. By post processing reconstruction parameters in connection with multi-channel encoding/decoding allows a low data rate on the one hand and a high quality on the other hand, since strong changes in the reconstructed multi-channel output signal because of a large quantization step size for the reconstruction parameter, which is preferable because of low bit rate requirements, are reduced.
