Abstract
A key word detection apparatus and a method for low-power voice-activated devices are presented. A first signal processing module operates with a first transducer to receive an incoming signal and generates a first sample. A second signal processing module operates with a second transducer which receives an incoming signal and generates a second sample. In summary, a signal processing system, in particular a key word detection system, has a first low power module that wakes up a second higher power module. The second module uses signals from the first module in order to improve accuracy of key word detection or other signal processing tasks.
