NOISE GATE

When the signal is very quiet and consists mainly of noise, the ALC function may cause “noise

pumping”, i.e. loud hissing noise during silence periods. The WM8973L has a noise gate function that

prevents noise pumping by comparing the signal level at the LINPUT1/2/3 and/or RINPUT1/2/3 pins

against a noise gate threshold, NGTH. The noise gate cuts in when:



Signal level at ADC [dB] < NGTH [dB] + PGA gain [dB] + Mic Boost gain [dB]

This is equivalent to:



Signal level at input pin [dB] < NGTH [dB]

The ADC output can then either be muted or alternatively, the PGA gain can be held constant

(preventing it from ramping up as it normally would when the signal is quiet).

The table below summarises the noise gate control register. The NGTH control bits set the noise gate

threshold with respect to the ADC full-scale range. The threshold is adjusted in 1.5dB steps. Levels

at the extremes of the range may cause inappropriate operation, so care should be taken with set–up

of the function. Note that the noise gate only works in conjunction with the ALC function, and always

operates on the same channel(s) as the ALC (left, right, both, or none).

Note:

The performance of the ADC may degrade at high input signal levels if the monitor bypass mux is

selected with MIC boost and ALC enabled.
