An automatic gain control circuit integrally fabricated on a semiconductor substrate. An AGC circuit 17 controls the gain of an intermediate-frequency amplifier circuit 15 so that the average level of the output signal (sound signal) of an AM detector circuit 16 may be substantially constant. The AGC circuit 17 includes a time-constant circuit 100, which comprises a charging circuit for intermittently charging the capacitor and a discharging circuit for intermittently discharging the same. By this intermittent charging and discharging of the capacitor having a small capacitance, a large time constant is set.
