INPUT LIMITER / AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)
w
Table 19 ADC Digital Volume Control
Figure 19 Input Peak Limiter Operation
The WM8978 has an automatic PGA gain control circuit, which can function as an input peak limiter
or as an automatic level control (ALC).
In input peak limiter mode (ALCMODE bit = 1), a digital peak detector detects when the input signal
goes above a predefined level and will ramp the PGA gain down to prevent the signal becoming too
large for the input range of the ADC. When the signal returns to a level below the threshold, the
PGA gain is slowly returned to its starting level. The peak limiter cannot increase the PGA gain
above its static level.
