ABSTRACT:
A soft limiter for a signal processor includes a variable-gain amplifier, and a threshold detector. The variable-gain amplifier includes a signal input for receiving an input signal, a signal output for providing an output signal representative of the input signal, and a gain control input for controlling a gain of the amplifier. The threshold detector is coupled to the gain control input, and includes a control input for receiving a control variable thereon. The threshold detector is configured to set the gain of the amplifier to a first gain value when the control variable exceeds a threshold value, and to set the gain to a second gain value different from the first gain value when the control variable is less than the threshold value.
