7.3.2 Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)

The PGA amplifies the analog input signal by a programmable gain. Gain can be programmed using the PGA_GAIN register, common to all channels, in 3-dB steps with a gain range of 30 dB. In default mode, PGA gain ranges from 0 dB to 30 dB. In equalizer mode, PGA gain ranges from 15 dB to 45 dB. PGA_GAIN register settings are listed in Table 7-2. Figure 7-1 shows the typical SNR values across PGA gain.
