    摘要: A control circuit for a boost converter is provided. The control circuit includes switching means configured to switch the boost converter to perform cycles. Each cycle includes an energy charging state, in which an inductor stores energy provided by an input voltage, and an energy discharging state, in which the inductor provides energy to an output of the boost converter. The control circuit further includes comparison means configured to decide whether a current at the inductor is higher than a predetermined maximum current. The control circuit further includes off-time signal generation means configured to generate an off-time signal based on whether the current at the inductor is higher than a predetermined maximum current. The off-time signal determines a duration of a discharging state of a next switching event and the switching means is configured to switch the boost converter based on the generated off-time signal.

    摘要: A mechanism to adjust far-end signal loudness based on environmental noise levels and device speaker characteristics has a noise-level analyzer that receives feedback from an intelligent speaker-boosting logic circuit that provides a signal to a class-D amplifier to drive the speaker. The noise-level analyzer analyzes near-end environmental noise levels and far-end speech input signal levels across critical frequency bands. The noise-level analyzer performs a masking analysis of the far-end and near-end signals, and guides the speaker-boosting logic circuit to apply determined signal boosting levels over selective bands. The speaker-boosting logic circuit monitors system activity along with the selective band boosting guidance from the noise-level analyzer. Using device speaker information and the speaker excursion pattern, the speaker-boosting logic circuit adjusts far-end speech signal loudness without over excursion of the speaker and damage to the speaker hardware.

    摘要: A controller for a haptic actuator is described. The controller includes a driver which has an output configured to be coupled to a linear resonant actuator in a first mode and a frequency detector having an input configured to be coupled to the haptic actuator in a second mode. The frequency detector is configured to detect a signal generated on the terminals of the haptic actuator in response to an externally applied force and to determine a resonant frequency of the haptic actuator from the generated signal.
