PGA ( Programmable Gain Amp )
A PGA (Programmable Gain Amp) is integrated into the input stage of the AK8856.
The PGA is adjustable from 0 dB to 12 dB, with gain steps of 0.1 dB / step.
The input signal is attenuated by 50% by a resistor divider.
The PGA setting is determined by PGA Control Register (R/W) [Sub Address 0x05].
By writing a “1” to the Control 2 Register (R/W) [Sub Address 0x04] AGC-bit, the AGC function is enabled.
Since the setting of the AGC is written by the PGA Control Register (R/W) [Sub Address 0x05], the AGC
value can be read through this register (manual setting of the PGA is invalid).
When the AGC function is disabled, manual setting of the PGA gain is allowed.
Bit allocation of PGA Control Register is as follows:

AGC
The AK8856 has an adaptive AGC function. When AGC is enabled, the input signal is controlled to an optimized
level by the PGA.
When AGC is turned off, manual gain setting of PGA by is allowed.
Enable / disable setting of the AGC is done by Control 2 Register (R/W) [Sub Address 0x04].

note ) writing into the PGA register is possible while the AGC is enabled, but the written result is not valid to
register. The written result becomes valid to the register when the AGC is disabled.
There are two types of AGC-bits – one is AGCC-bit to set coring level, and the other is AGCTR-bit to control
transition speed between Peak AGC and Sync AGC operations.
