Abstract:
An audio band processor and a method and circuit for controlling its gain. The audio band processor comprises a first variable gain amplifier for receiving an analog audio signal; an analog to digital converter for converting the analog audio signal to a digital audio signal; and an interface circuit for encoding the digital audio signal. The interface circuit also arranges the digital audio signal into a sequence of encoded transmit frames, and receives a sequence of encoded receive frames, each receive frame comprising a predetermined number of encoded digital audio signal data bits and a predetermined number of digital gain control bits. The interface circuit also adjusts a gain level of the first variable gain amplifier in response to the digital gain control bits. In another embodiment, the audio band processor further comprises a second variable gain amplifier, and the interface circuit adjusts a gain level of the second variable gain amplifier in response to the digital gain control bits.

An audio band processor and a method and circuit for controlling its gain. The audio band processor comprises a first variable gain amplifier (202) for receiving an analog audio signal; an analog to digital converter (204) for converting said analog audio signal to a digital audio signal; and an interface circuit (206) for encoding said digital audio signal. The interface circuit (206) also arranges said digital audio signal into a sequence of encoded transmit frames, and receives a sequence of encoded receive frames, each receive frame comprising a predetermined number of encoded digital audio signal data bits and a predetermined number of digital gain control bits. The interface circuit (206) also adjusts a gain level of said first variable gain amplifier in response to said digital gain control bits. In another embodiment, the audio band processor further comprises a second variable gain amplifier (202), and the interface circuit adjusts a gain level of said second variable gain amplifier in response to said digital gain control bits.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device (100) may include a receiver (110), a memory (104), a digital-to-analog converter (128) an audio playback system (124) and other features. A dynamic range controller (130) selectively generates control signals to adjust, at least in part, the operational dynamic range of the digital to analog converter (128) for digital signals received by the receiver (110) or stored in the memory (104). The selection of dynamic range is based on identifying a characteristic. In one embodiment, the control signals are used to selectively operate the digital-to analog converter (128) at a particular dynamic range based on a sampling rate of a received digital audio signal.
