LIMITER / AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)

The WM8778 has an automatic pga gain control circuit, which can function as a peak limiter or as an

automatic level control (ALC). In peak limiter mode, 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.

Figure 22 Limiter Operation

In ALC mode, the circuit aims to keep a constant recording volume irrespective of the input signal

level. This is achieved by continuously adjusting the PGA gain so that the signal level at the ADC

input remains constant. A digital peak detector monitors the ADC output and changes the PGA gain

if necessary.
