ALC Operation
ALC Operation works in ALC block. When ADCPF bit =
“
1
”
, ALC operation is enable for recording path. When
ADCPF bit =
“
0
”
, ALC operation is enable for playback path. The ON/OFF of ALC operation for recording is controlled
by ALC1 bit and the ON/OFF of ALC operation for playback is controlled by ALC2 bit.
1. ALC Limiter Operation
When the ALC limiter is enabled, and output exceeds the ALC limiter detection level (Table 23), the volume value is
attenuated by the amount defined in LMAT1-0 bits(Table 24) automatically.
When the ZELMN bit =
“
0
”
(zero crossing detection valid), the VOL value is changed by ALC limiter operation at the
zero crossing point or zero crossing timeout. Zero crossing timeout period is set by ZTM1-0 bit that in common with ALC
recovery zero crossing timeout period’s setting (Table 25).
When the ZELMN bit =
“
1
”
(zero crossing detection invalid), VOL value has been changed immediately (period: 1/fs) by
ALC limiter operation. The attenuation for limiter operation is fixed to 1 step and not controlled by setting LMAT1-0 bits.
After finishing the attenuation operation, if ALC bit does not change to
“
0
”
, the operation repeats when the output signal
level exceeds the ALC limiter detection level.
