Abstract:

We present a sub-10- $\mu $ W fully integrated SoC for on-device spoken language understanding (SLU). Its analog feature extractor (FEx) applies global and per-channel automatic gain control (AGC) to extend the system’s dynamic range (DR)—a critical requirement for real-world scenarios, including far-field operations. The on-chip streaming-mode recurrent …

Abstract:

This article introduces a high-acoustic-dynamic-range and low-power digital microphone based on the electrostatic force feedback control (EFFC). The proposed design adjusts the sensitivity of the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) by adaptively biasing it at different input amplitudes, thereby extending the dynamic range (DR). The proposed adaptive biasing technique allows the induced …
