Abstract

See full text

An automatic gain control apparatus includes: a first counter configured to calculate a first count value that is the number of times when a voltage of an input signal exceeds a first voltage threshold within a predetermined period; a second counter configured to calculate a second count value that is the number of times when the voltage of the input signal drops below a second voltage threshold in the predetermined period; and an over-range detector configured to detect an over-range, based on a comparison result obtained by comparing either one of each of the first count value and the second count value and a calculation result of the first count value and the second count value with a predetermined threshold, and output a detection result.
