Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to microphone apparatus. One microphone apparatus includes an acoustic sensor, an electrical circuit including an acoustic activity detector, a frequency detection circuit and a control block, an internal clock signal generator coupled to the electrical circuit, and a host interface with external connections including a connection for an external clock signal and data. The microphone assembly has an acoustic activity detection mode of operation when the electrical circuit is clocked using the internal clock signal generator in the absence of an external clock signal at the host interface, and the electrical circuit is configured to provide an interrupt signal to the host interface upon detection of acoustic activity by the electrical circuit. The electrical circuit is configured to control the operating mode of the microphone assembly based on a frequency of the external clock signal in response to providing the interrupt signal and is configured to provide data representing the electrical signal to the host interface using the external clock signal received at the host interface.

Claim (Index 3):
The microphone assembly of  claim 2 , the frequency detection circuit including a comparator coupled to the external clock signal connection and to an output of the internal clock signal generator, wherein the frequency detection circuit determines the frequency of the external clock signal based on a comparison of the external clock signal and a clock signal of the internal clock signal generator.
