According to some embodiments, re-programmable and/or reconfigurable analog circuitry monitor an acoustic signal sensed by a sound sensor and selectively generates a tone detection signal in response to an analysis of the acoustic signal and a defined tone detection condition. The tone detection condition may be, for example, associated with presence of at least one pre-determined tone frequency. A digital Microcontroller Unit ('MCU'), coupled to the analog circuitry, may receive the tone detection signal as an interrupt causing the MCU to wake-up, generate a digital timestamp, and/or analyze a series of digital timestamps to detect at least one temporal audio alarm pattern, such as a temporal-three (“T3”) or a temporal-four (“T4”) audio alarm pattern.

Audio tone detection using analog processing

According to some embodiments, re-programmable and/or reconfigurable analog circuitry may be provided. A plurality of reference floating-gate transistors are each programmable to be connectable to a plurality of global reference control lines of the analog circuitry to facilitate temperature compensation. In some embodiments, the plurality of analog nonvolatile memory cells are associated with parameter floating-gate transistors. Moreover, the plurality of analog parameter nonvolatile memory cells may be programmed to several orders of parameter magnitude.

Multi-range temperature compensation for programmable circuit elements

According to some embodiments, a memory controller may be provided. A compute-in-memory array may be connected to a plurality of word lines of the memory controller, with multiple word lines per word being associated with different temperature coefficients, to facilitate temperature compensation of the compute-in-memory array. In some embodiments, the compute-in-memory array may be associated with parameter floating-gate transistors. Moreover, a plurality of compute-in-memory arrays may be individually programmed to several orders of parameter magnitude.
