Determining automatic gain control levels |
摘要 |
An apparatus comprises an integrated circuit (IC) and a resistor external to the IC. The IC includes a current output digital-to-analog converter (IDAC) circuit configured to provide an adjustable specified current to a resistor external to the apparatus, a voltage sensing circuit configured to sense the voltage of the external resistor, and an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit configured to receive threshold information using the adjustable specified current. |

1. An apparatus, comprising:
an integrated circuit (IC) and a resistor external to the IC, wherein the IC includes:
a current output digital-to-analog converter (IDAC) circuit configured to provide an adjustable specified current to a resistor external to the apparatus;a voltage sensing circuit configured to sense the voltage of the external resistor; andan automatic gain control (AGC) circuit configured to receive threshold information using the adjustable specified current, wherein the IC is configured to receive a battery voltage, and wherein the AGC circuit is configured to modify gain applied to a signal input to the AGC circuit when the battery voltage satisfies a threshold voltage and to adjust the threshold voltage according to the specified current. |
