The AGC works by detecting the audio input envelope. The gain changes depending on the amplitude, the limiter

level, the compression ratio, and the attack and release time. The gain changes constantly as the audio signal

increases and/or decreases to create the compression effect. The gain step size for the AGC is 0.5 dB. If the

audio signal has near-constant amplitude, the gain does not change. Figure 27 shows how the AGC works.

Gain decreases with no delay; attack time is reset. Release time and hold time are reset.

Signal amplitude above limiter level, but gain cannot change because attack time is not over.

Attack time ends; gain is allowed to decrease from this point forward by one step. Gain decreases because the

amplitude remains above limiter threshold. All times are reset

Gain increases after release time finishes and signal amplitude remains below desired level. All times are reset after

the gain increase.

Gain increases after release time is finished again because signal amplitude remains below desired level. All times

are reset after the gain increase.

Figure 27. Input and Output Audio Signal vs Time

Because the number of gain steps is limited the compression region is limited as well. Figure 28 shows how the

gain changes versus the input signal amplitude in the compression region.
