  • Methods and devices for automatic gain control
    Patent number: 10200001
    Abstract: At least one example embodiment provides a controller to sample a first signal. The first signal indicates an initial amplitude of an output signal of an oscillator circuit. The controller selects a step amount based on the first signal and a target amplitude of the output signal. The controller generates a control signal for the oscillator circuit based on the selected step amount. The control signal indicates a change in gain for the oscillator circuit according to the selected step amount.
    Type: Grant
