International audience. In the context of autonomous keyword spotting and sound detection, this paper proposes a low power feature extraction unit generating spectrograms that represent a unique signature allowing the classification of audio signals. This system is composed of a continuous-Time digital signal processing feature extractor combined with a convolutional neural network engine. The study evaluates the hardware requirements to implement the feature extraction unit using an advanced CMOS process. Furthermore, a simulation of the complete system using Matlab® reveals that the recognition accuracy remains higher than 90% while offering a power consumption 4000X lower than a conventional discrete time system.
