ABSTRACT:
A variable gain amplifying circuit is controlled by a control voltage Vc from which a high-frequency component has been removed. To provide the control voltage Vc, a holding circuit smoothes the higher one of an output voltage of the variable gain amplifying circuit, which has been rectified by a rectifying circuit, and a voltage detected by a minute voltage detecting circuit, so that the control voltage Vc is obtained via a direct-current amplifying circuit. Since the clamping circuit varies the control voltage Vc based on a reference voltage Vref on receiving a minute input signal, even when an AGC characteristic is changed by varying the reference voltage Vref, the minimum gain is always corrected to be constant.
