DIGITAL ADC VOLUME CONTROL

The output of the ADCs can be digitally attenuated over a range from –127dB to 0dB in 0.5dB steps.

The gain for a given eight-bit code X is given by:

Gain = 0.5 x (x–255) dB for 1

≤ x ≤ 255, MUTE for x = 0

INPUT LIMITER / AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)

The WM8510 has an automatic pga gain control circuit, which can function as an input peak limiter or

as an automatic level control (ALC).

In input peak limiter mode (ALCMODE bit = 1), 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 11 Input Peak Limiter Operation

In ALC mode (ALCMODE bit = 0) 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.
