Table 11 ALC Control
PEAK LIMITER
To prevent clipping when a large signal occurs just after a period of quiet, the ALC circuit includes a
limiter function. If the ADC input signal exceeds 87.5% of full scale (–1.16dB), the PGA gain is
ramped down at the maximum attack rate (as when ATK = 0000), until the signal level falls below
87.5% of full scale. This function is automatically enabled whenever the ALC is enabled.
Note:
If ATK = 0000, then the limiter makes no difference to the operation of the ALC. It is designed to
prevent clipping when long attack times are used.

Note: ensure that LINVOL and
RINVOL settings (reg. 0 and 1) are
the same before entering this mode.
