TRANSIENT WINDOW (LIMITER ONLY)
To prevent the limiter responding to to short duration high ampitude signals (such as hand-claps in a
live performance), the limiter has a programmable transient window preventing it responding to
signals above the threshold until their duration exceeds the window period. The Transient window is
set in register TRANWIN.

ZERO CROSS
The PGA has a zero cross detector to prevent gain changes introducing noise to the signal. In ALC
mode the register bit ALCZC allows this to be turned off if desired.

MAXIMUM GAIN (ALC ONLY) AND MAXIMUM ATTENUATION
To prevent low level signals being amplified too much by the ALC, the MAXGAIN register sets the
upper limit for the gain. This prevents low level noise being over-amplified. The MAXGAIN register
has no effect on the limiter operation.
The MAXATTEN register has different operation for the limiter and for the ALC. For the limiter it
defines the maximum attenuation below the static (user programmed) gain. For the ALC, it defines
the lower limit for the gain.
