7-4-4 AGC ( Automatic Gain Control )
This function sets the PGA gain so that input level is properly set. The PGA gain is calculated so that the SYNC level is
equal to 40 IRE / 300 mV ( 286 mV-type Sync / 300 mV-type Sync ) and its value is set to PGA ( classification of 286
mV-type Sync and 300 mV-type Sync is listed in Table 7-2-1-1 ).
Gain-calculation and Gain-set are performed during the VBI interval of each Field.
The AGC time constant is programmable in 3 steps using the [ CONTROL 1 REGISTER ]. The PGA gain is derived from
the SYNC level information only.
AGC is performed only on the Composite signal and the Y portion of the YC input and Component input signals. Auto
gain is not performanced on the C-signal or Pb / Pr signals.
It is assumed that correction of the C-signal is done using the ACC of the digital portion. Correction of the Component Pb
/Pr signals should be manually done using the Color Saturation Control function.
When the AGC function is disabled by the [ CONTROL 1 REGISTER ], the gain of each channel can be manually set via
the [ PGA1 / PGA 2 / PGA 3 GAIN CONTROL REGISTER ].

The AK8850 sets the PGA value so that the SYNC-TIP level is equal to 40 IRE / 300 mV ( 286 mV-type Sync / 300
mV-type Sync ) while the AGC is enabled.
The 286 mV-type Sync here means NTSC Composite, NTSC YC input and Betacam Component signals, while the 300
mV-type Sync means 625 Component and MII Component signals.
40 IRE / 300 mV ( 286 mV-type Sync / 300 mV-type Sync ) are equivalent to 240 / 252 ( 10-bit ) in digital code. As the
SYNC-TIP is set to 16 ( 10-bit ), Sync sizes are equivalent to 224 / 236 ( 10-bit ) respectively.

While the AGC is enabled, manual gain adjustment is not possible by the PGA1 / PGA2 / PGA3 GAIN CONTROL
Registers ( AGC has higher priority than manual gain adjustments ).
