Abstract:
Methods and USB devices correlating clock domains are presented. A USB device includes at least one signal line adapted to carry signals in a first clock domain. The signals are received from a USB host. A clock operates a second clock domain. A periodic packet detection circuit detects a missing periodic packet from the signals received in the first clock domain. A device controller correlates a USB operation in the second clock domain with the first clock domain based on the periodic packet detection circuit detecting the missing periodic packet. A USB device includes at least one signal line carrying UTMI or ULPI signaling. A USB controller decodes packet identification from the UTMI or ULPI signaling. A periodic packet detection circuit, separate from the USB controller, decodes packet identification from the UTMI or ULPI signaling.
Abstract:
A serial low-power inter-chip media bus (SLIMbus) communications link is deployed in apparatus having multiple integrated circuit (IC) devices. Systems, methods and apparatus are described that can improve the operation of SLIMbus communications links. A method includes determining that an interrupt asserted within a first device coupled to a SLIMbus is directed to a second device coupled to the SLIMbus and generating an in-band interrupt (IBI) message identifying the first device as an interrupt source, the second device as an interrupt target, and including information identifying a type and a status associated with the interrupt, and transmitting the IBI message to the second device over the SLIMbus.
Abstract:
A particular apparatus includes a first buffer that is configured to store multiple audio data samples and a second buffer that is configured to store the multiple audio data samples. The first buffer is coupled to a first processor that is configured to analyze audio data samples to detect a keyword. The second buffer is coupled to a second processor that is configured to initialize a speech recognition engine (SRE) based on the multiple audio data samples. The first buffer has less storage capacity that the second buffer.
Abstract:
A particular apparatus includes a coder/decoder (CODEC) including a first processor and a first buffer. The first processor is configured to analyze audio data samples to detect a keyword. The CODEC is configured to store a set of audio data samples at the first buffer. The apparatus also includes an application processor configured to receive the set of audio data samples from the CODEC via a bus and configured to initialize a speech recognition engine (SRE) based on the set of audio data samples. The application processor is configured to initialize the bus based on an indication from the CODEC that the keyword is detected.

Abstract:
Multi-channel audio alignment schemes are disclosed. One aspect of the present disclosure provides for accumulation of audio samples across multiple related audio channels at an audio source. Related audio channels indicate their interrelatedness, and when all the related audio channels have data to transmit, the source releases the data onto the time slots of the Serial Low-power Inter-chip Media Bus (SLIMbus), such that the related audio channels are within a given segment window of the time slot. This accumulation is repeated at the boundary of every segment window. Similarly, accumulation may be performed at the audio sink. Components within the audio sink may only read received data if status signals from all related sinks indicate that predefined thresholds have been reached. By providing such accumulation options, audio fidelity is maintained across multiple audio data channels.
Abstract:
A method includes sending data from a first serial low-power inter-chip media bus (SLIMbus) component to a second SLIMbus component. The method further includes sending the data via at least a first SLIMbus data line of a plurality of SLIMbus data lines.
