Abstract: The present invention relates to a memory device comprising a memory (EM) having at least two predetermined register memory sections addressable by respective address ranges AS1-ASz) and at least one access port (P1-PZ) for providing access to said memory (EM). Furthermore, access control means (A) are provided for addressing said memory (EM) so as to operate said register memory sections as shift registers and to map shift register accesses of the at least one access port (P1 to PZ) to predetermined addresses in the global address space of the memory (EM). In this way, it is possible to combine a plurality of FIFO memories in a single addressable memory device. This implementation is favourable in view of power consumption and area.

Abstract: One or a combination of two or more specific loudness model functions selected from a group of two or more of such functions are employed in calculating the perceptual loudness of an audio signal. The function or functions may be selected, for example, by a measure of the degree to which the audio signal is narrowband or wideband. Alternatively or with such a selection from a group of functions, a gain value G[t] is calculated, which gain, when applied to the audio signal, results in a perceived loudness substantially the same as a reference loudness. The gain calculating employs an iterative processing loop that includes the perceptual loudness calculation.
