Abstract: A circuit for controlling an interface between an integrated circuit of an electronic device and an external device includes each of an interface control switch and an overvoltage protection switch. The interface control switch includes a controller for controlling a mode of the interface between a data communication mode that connects the external device to the integrated circuit of the electronic device via one or more communication lines of the electronic device, and a power transmission mode that connects a power source of the external device to a battery of the electronic device. The controller includes a reset line for resetting the interface control switch. The overvoltage protection switch is connected between the one or more communication ports and the reset line, and is configured to activate the reset line of the controller in response to an overvoltage condition at the one or more communication lines of the electronic device.

Abstract: A first electronic device, electronically coupled to a second device for supplying a charge to the second electronic device, tracks the voltage requirements of the second device and dynamically adjusts its output voltage upwards or downwards to match such requirements. The second electronic device may provide feedback to the first electronic device through a feedback loop. The feedback may include an indication of the voltage requirements and/or instructions for adjusting the voltage output of the first electronic device. The second device may be, for example, a wearable audio device, while the first device is a case for the wearable audio device.

Abstract: The technology provides for a magnetic sensing device. The device includes a magnetic sensor configured to generate a first output triggered by a first polarity and a second output triggered by a second polarity. The device includes a first magnet, a second magnet, and a third magnet. The device may be configured such that, when the second magnet is not within a predetermined distance from the first magnet, a magnetic field from the first magnet having the first polarity causes the first output and the second output to have a first set of values. The device may be configured such that, when the second magnet is within the predetermined distance from the first magnet, a magnetic field from the third magnet having the second polarity causes the first output and the second output to have a second set of values.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides systems and techniques for controlling the production of eNoise in an audio playback system. The eNoise may be an audible noise produced when a current, such as a noise/ripple current, flows through a battery of the audio playback system. Such eNoise may be reduced by limiting the current, such as noise/ripple current, flowing through the battery. In some examples, the noise/ripple current may be diverted to the main board of the audio playback system by adding a source of current. A circuit to produce such a current may include transistor(s), capacitor(s), and/or resistor(s). Using the current source and/or such a circuit may also divert the noise/ripple current away from the battery, thereby reducing the eNoise produced.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a magnetic system within a case for an electronic accessory. The case may include a housing portion and a lid coupled to the housing portion. Within the housing portion may be a housing magnet. The housing magnet may be oriented such that the magnetic field of the housing magnet is oriented transverse to a longitudinal axis of the case. The housing magnet may have a size and strength to magnetically couple the electronic accessory within a cavity of the housing. A hinge magnet may be located along an axis of rotation of the lid with respect to the housing. The hinge magnet and housing magnet may magnetically interact to form a bistable magnetic hinge. Thus, the one housing magnet may be large enough and have a strong enough magnetic field to perform various functions.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for determining whether an earbud is removed from within an ear of a user. The systems and techniques employ an earbud including a housing having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end includes a magnetically-sensitive section, the distal end of the housing being configured to be magnetically attracted to a charging receptacle and insertable within an ear of a user. On-head detection (OHD) logic is electrically coupled to the magnetically-sensitive section at the distal end, the OHD logic configured to determine based on a distal-end capacitance measured using the magnetically-sensitive section whether the distal end of the housing is within the ear of the user.
