The microphone circuit also includes a processor configured to perform sound detection based on the microphone signal and to determine whether to enable a component based on the sound detection. For example, the processor may be a digital signal processor (DSP) of the microphone circuit and the component may be external to the microphone circuit, such as a coder/decoder (CODEC), another DSP, and/or an application processor.
