2. ALC Recovery Operation
The ALC recovery operation waits for the WTM2-0 bits (Table 26) to be set after completing the ALC limiter operation.
If the input signal does not exceed “ALC recovery waiting counter reset level” (Table 23) during the wait time, the ALC
recovery operation is done. The VOL value is automatically incremented by RGAIN1-0 bits (Table 27) up to the set
reference level (Table 28) with zero crossing detection which timeout period is set by ZTM1-0 bits (Table 25). Then the
IVL and IVR are set to the same value for both channels. The ALC recovery operation is done at a period set by WTM2-0
bits. When zero cross is detected at both channels during the wait period set by WTM2-0 bits, the ALC recovery operation
waits until WTM2-0 period and the next recovery operation is done.
For example, when the current VOL value is 30H and RGAIN1-0 bits are set to “01”, VOL is changed to 32H by the auto
limiter operation and then the input signal level is gained by 0.75dB (=0.375dB x 2). When the VOL value exceeds the
reference level (REF7-0), the VOL values are not increased.
When
during the ALC recovery operation, the waiting timer of ALC recovery operation is reset. When
the waiting timer of ALC recovery operation starts.
The ALC operation corresponds to the impulse noise. When the impulse noise is input, the ALC recovery operation
becomes faster than a normal recovery operation. When large noise is input to microphone instantaneously, the quality of
small level in the large noise can be improved by this fast recovery operation. The speed of first recovery operation is set
by RFST1-0 bits(Table 30).
