Zusammenfassung:A PDM (pulse density modulation) signal energy detection circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter circuit for receiving a PDM digital input signal and producing an analog output signal based on the PDM digital input signal. The PDM signal energy detection circuit also includes a comparator circuit for receiving the analog output signal from the digital-to-analog converter circuit and producing a pulsed signal when a magnitude of the analog output signal exceeds a pre-set threshold. The PDM signal energy detection circuit also has a counter circuit for receiving the pulsed signal from the comparator circuit and producing an energy detection signal when a number of consecutive pulsed signals exceed a pre-set count.
