„ ALC Operation
The ALC (Automatic Level Control) is done by ALC block when ALC bit is “1”. When only DAC is powered-up, ALC
circuit operates at playback path. When only ADC is powered-up or both ADC and DAC are powered-up, ALC circuit
operates at recording path.

1. ALC Limiter Operation
During the ALC limiter operation, when either Lch or Rch exceeds the ALC limiter detection level (Table 21), the IVL
and IVR values (same value) are attenuated automatically by the amount defined by the ALC limiter ATT step (Table 22).
The IVL and IVR are then set to the same value for both channels.
When ZELMN bit = “0” (zero cross detection is enabled), the IVL and IVR values are changed by ALC limiter operation
at the individual zero crossing points of Lch and Rch or at the zero crossing timeout. ZTM1-0 bits set the zero crossing
timeout period of both ALC limiter and recovery operation (Table 23).
When ZELMN bit = “1” (zero cross detection is disabled), IVL and IVR values are immediately (period: 1/fs) changed by
ALC limiter operation. Attenuation step is fixed to 1 step regardless as the setting of LMAT1-0 bits.
The attenuation operation is done continuously until the input signal level becomes ALC limiter detection level (Table 21)
or less. After completing the attenuation operation, unless ALC bit is changed to “0”, the operation repeats when the input
signal level exceeds LMTH1-0 bits.
