Abstract:
In an embodiment, an integrated circuit may include one or more CPUs, a memory controller, and a circuit configured to remain powered on when the rest of the SOC is powered down. The circuit may be configured to receive audio samples from a microphone, and match those audio samples against a predetermined pattern to detect a possible command from a user of the device that includes the SOC. In response to detecting the predetermined pattern, the circuit may cause the memory controller to power up so that audio samples may be stored in the memory to which the memory controller is coupled. The circuit may also cause the CPUs to be powered on and initialized, and the operating system (OS) may boot. During the time that the CPUs are initializing and the OS is booting, the circuit and the memory may be capturing the audio samples.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n powering down a central processing unit (CPU) complex and a memory controller in an integrated circuit; during a time that the CPU complex and the memory controller are powered down, monitoring audio samples in a first circuit within the integrated circuit that remains powered; detecting a predetermined pattern in the audio samples in the first circuit; requesting power up of at least the memory controller in response to the detecting; and ensuring that the audio samples and subsequently-received audio samples are not lost by buffering the audio samples and subsequently-received audio samples in a buffer in the first circuit until the memory controller is available and writing the buffered audio samples to memory, wherein a number of audio samples that the buffer is capable of storing is sufficient to store the audio samples that match the predetermined pattern and the subsequently-received samples until the memory controller is available to receive writes of the audio samples to the memory.
