Method And System Of Operating A Codec In An Operational Mode

View page
US Patent:
6642876, Nov 4, 2003
Filed:
Jul 26, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/206424
Inventors:
Krishnan Subramoniam - Austin TX
Jens Puchert - Austin TX
Brian K. Straup - Austin TX
Assignee:
Cirrus Logic, Inc. - Austin TX
International Classification:
H03H 166
US Classification:
341144, 700 94, 381119
Abstract:
A system and method of operating a codec in an operational mode are disclosed. The codec is operated in a digital centric mode. The digital centric mode involves the following: An analog mixer of the codec first mixes analog signals, if any, to produce a mixed analog signal. An analog-to-digital converter converts the mixed analog signal into a converted digital signal. A digital mixer mixes the converted digital signal with digital signals that are otherwise generally unavailable as analog signals to the codec without additional conversions to produce a mixed digital signal. A digital-to-analog converter converts the mixed digital signal into a mixed analog signal. A digital processor may perform digital effects processing on the mixed digital signal to add digital effects to the mixed digital signal. The codec is still able to alternatively operate in an analog centric mode, a host processing mode, or a multi-channel mode.

Method And System For Providing A Codec Clock Signal At A Desired Operational Rate

View page
US Patent:
7224756, May 29, 2007
Filed:
May 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/144295
Inventors:
Krishnan Subramoniam - Austin TX, US
Jens Puchert - Austin TX, US
Anand Venkitachalam - Pune, IN
Brian K. Straup - Austin TX, US
John L. Melanson - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Cirrus Logic, Inc. - Austin TX
International Classification:
H04L 27/08
US Classification:
375345, 370352, 345211, 713324, 713503
Abstract:
A clock generator system and method for providing and operating a codes with a clock signal at a desired operational rate are disclosed. The clock generator system also has a phase-locked loop circuit. The clock generator system determines whether an available clock signal within a circuit environment of the codec has a desired clock rate. If the available clock signal has the desired clock rate, the clock generator system supplies and operates the codec with the available clock signal. If the available clock signal does not have the desired clock rate, the phase-locked loop circuit generates from the available clock signal a desired clock signal having the desired clock rate and supplies and operates the codec with the desired clock signal.

Combination Line Or Microphone Input Circuitry

View page
US Patent:
20110182442, Jul 28, 2011
Filed:
Jan 25, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/692825
Inventors:
BRADLEY SCOTT MCDONALD - AUSTIN TX, US
BRIAN DAVID COX - ROUND ROCK TX, US
BRIAN KEITH STRAUP - AUSTIN TX, US
Assignee:
OPEN LABS, INC. - AUSTIN TX
International Classification:
H03G 3/00
US Classification:
381109, 381123
Abstract:
Combination line/microphone input circuitry is provided that adapts to receive either an audio line input or a microphone input via a single dual-purpose compound plug or input. More particularly, a combination line/microphone input circuit is provided to accept two different types of audio signals, being audio line signals and microphone signals, via a single dual-purpose plug or single input, such that the audio input circuitry is controlled or switched to accept either the audio line input or the audio microphone input signals, appropriately attenuate, filter and/or such input signals as necessary, then provide the resulting signal to other audio circuitry. Embodiments of the invention include additional circuitry that helps protect external line signal producing electronics from receiving incorrectly activated phantom microphone voltage.

Method And Apparatus For Preventing Unauthorized Access To Peripheral Devices

View page
US Patent:
56873794, Nov 11, 1997
Filed:
Jan 5, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/583277
Inventors:
Jimmy Dean Smith - Stevensville MI
Mark D. Nicol - Stevensville MI
Brian K. Straup - South Bend IN
Terence Paul O'Brien - Saint Joseph MI
Michael P. Krau - Benton Harbor MI
Richard David Ball - Saint Joseph MI
Assignee:
Packard Bell NEC - Sacramento CA
International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
395726
Abstract:
This invention relates to a system for providing programmable configuration protection of a programmable Input/Output device. By configuration protection, it is meant that the programming options of an I/O controller can be set in accordance to a given environment, and then by use of a programming controlled signal, prevent the changing of the programmed environment or remove those programmed options considered unsafe in the now secured environment.

Apparatus For Selecting A User Programmable Address For An I/O Device

View page
US Patent:
57489823, May 5, 1998
Filed:
Mar 15, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/616430
Inventors:
Jimmy Dean Smith - Stevensville MI
Mark D. Nicol - Stevensville MI
Brian K. Straup - South Bend IN
Terence Paul O'Brien - Saint Joseph MI
Mark Layne Herman - Saint Joseph MI
Terrence A. Hussey - Saint Joseph MI
Assignee:
Packard Bell NEC - Sacramento CA
International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
395829
Abstract:
Manual insertion of hardware jumpers to configure I/O device selection and addressing is eliminated through the implementation of specialized hardware which allows for program control over several addressing paths. A register file is utilized within a programmable device to configure demultiplexers and multiplexers which map I/O address control line signals to set up various communication paths for address I/O exchanges. I/O configuration is entirely removed from add-on cards through the use of the programmable device. Accordingly, such add-on cards only require minimum circuitry, thus facilitating the use of miniature or baby cards as option cards which are much smaller than standard add-on cards.
