Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004086616A2] Systems and methods for detecting clipping conditions in an audio signal and processing the signal to reduce the clipping conditions. In one embodiment, a system comprises a noise shaper, a modulator, an output stage and other components. A detector detects clipping in the noise shaper and a signal processor processes the audio signal input to the noise shaper based on feedback received from the detector. The signal processor may function to modify the input audio signal in different ways in response to different conditions that are detected by the detector. A filter may be included to filter tie output of the detector before being provided to the signal processor. A flag circuit may be coupled between the filter and the signal processor to assert an output signal until the signal processor resets the flag circuit.
