Abstract

A signal processing system and a method thereof are disclosed, using a differential amplifier to extract the sensed signals associated with the headphones wear status generated by the diaphragm of the headphone and push back to the sense ADC for digitization. Because the differential amplifier is non-ideal, certain residual music signal will exist. To exclude residual music signal for subsequent processing, a temporary memory is provided to match and synchronize the original playback signal retainment and the round-trip delay of external signal. The round-trip delay is computed to adjust the depth and clock speed of the buffer/FIFO of the temporary memory to, after synchronized with the total external propagation delay, eliminate residual music signal in a function block in order to separate the sense signal of the headphone driver unit diaphragm displacement and use the extracted sense signal for subsequent analysis and auto-control and/or signal compensation reference source.
