HOLD TIME (ALC ONLY)

The ALC also has a hold time, which is the time delay between the peak level detected being below

target and the PGA gain beginning to ramp up. It can be programmed in power-of-two (2

n) steps, e.g.

2.67ms, 5.33ms, 10.67ms etc. up to 43.7ms. Alternatively, the hold time can also be set to zero. The

hold time only applies to gain ramp-up, there is no delay before ramping the gain down when the

signal level is above target.

OVERLOAD DETECTOR (ALC ONLY)

To prevent clipping when a large signal occurs just after a period of quiet, the ALC circuit includes an

overload detector. 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 overload detector makes no difference to the operation of the ALC. It

is designed to prevent clipping when long attack times are used).

NOISE GATE (ALC ONLY)

When the signal is very quiet and consists mainly of noise, the ALC function may cause “noise

pumping”, i.e. loud hissing noise during silence periods. The WM8775 has a noise gate function that

prevents noise pumping by comparing the signal level at the AINL1/2/3/4 and/or AINR1/2/3/4 pins

against a noise gate threshold, NGTH. The noise gate cuts in when:

•

Signal level at ADC [dB] < NGTH [dB] + PGA gain [dB] + Mic Boost gain [dB]

This is equivalent to:

•

Signal level at input pin [dB] < NGTH [dB]
