Abstract
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.
