Dual IF car radio and audio DSP (N1F)
a: After Stepped AGC
a: After Linear AGC
Fig 9. Linear AGC signal levels
The linear control reference level should be above the maximum uncontrolled input level
of the linear control stage (See Figure 7). Settings of the reference level below the
maximum uncontrolled input level will result in a distorted output signal.
7.1.2.12 IF signal level detection
Signal level detection for wideband AGC is handled in the tuner. The resulting AGC steps
are then interfaced to SAF7741HV and a step compensation is made. The IF AGC is
controlled by level detectors within the PDC, and by IF detector high- and low-level
settings which can be set via IC. The level detectors in the PDC communicate with the
tuner to increase or decrease the level of the incoming signal.
The IF detector bandwidth is shown in Figure 10.

7.1.2.13 AGC output decimation
The output signal of the AGC is decimated by two to 650 kSa/s before it enters the IQC
stage.
