    摘要: A light modulation system as described herein can be incorporated into a personal or portable electronic apparatus such as a cellular telephone, a digital music player, or the like. The light modulation system controls the activation of light elements, such as light emitting diodes, of the host electronic apparatus in response to one or more analog audio signals available at the host electronic apparatus. The analog audio signals may be obtained from any suitable analog audio path or source in the host electronic apparatus. The light modulation system is compact, inexpensive to implement, and need not rely on digital signal processors for operation.

    摘要: A pipelined analog to digital converter (“ADC”) as described herein is capable of processing two or more input channels. The analog input voltages from the multiple channels are concurrently sampled (every other clock phase) using isolated input stages. The outputs of the input stages are concurrently sampled (every other clock phase) by a delay/holding and synchronization (“DHS”) stage. The DHS stage processes the samples using a double sampling technique, generates residual voltage samples (every clock phase), and generates digital outputs for the multiple channels in an alternating manner. The DHS stage provides equal input loading for the input stages, which enhances the performance of the ADC.
