ATTACK AND DECAY TIMES

The limiter and ALC have different attack and decay times which determine their operation. However,

the attack and decay times are defined slightly differently for the limiter and for the ALC. DCY and

ATK control the decay and attack times, respectively.

Decay time (Gain Ramp-Up). When in ALC mode, this is defined as the time that it takes for the

PGA gain to ramp up across 90% of its range (e.g. from –21dB up to +20 dB). When in limiter mode,

it is defined as the time it takes for the gain to ramp up by 6dB.

The decay time can be programmed in power-of-two (2

n) steps. For the ALC this gives times from

33.6ms, 67.2ms, 134.4ms etc. to 34.41s. For the limiter this gives times from 1.2ms, 2.4ms etc., up

to 1.2288s.

Attack time (Gain Ramp-Down) When in ALC mode, this is defined as the time that it takes for the

PGA gain to ramp down across 90% of its range (e.g. from +20dB down to -21dB gain). When in

limiter mode, it is defined as the time it takes for the gain to ramp down by 6dB.

The attack time can be programmed in power-of-two (2

n) steps, from 8.4ms, 16.8ms, 33.6ms etc. to

8.6s for the ALC and from 250us, 500us, etc. up to 256ms.

The time it takes for the recording level to return to its target value or static gain value therefore

depends on both the attack/decay time and on the gain adjustment required. If the gain adjustment is

small, it will be shorter than the attack/decay time.

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.
