Reception path

Figure 5 shows the block diagram of the ST7580 input receiving path. The main blocks are

a wide input range analog programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and the analog to digital

converter (ADC).

Figure 5. Reception path block diagram

The PGA is controlled by an embedded loop algorithm, adapting the PGA gain to amplify or

attenuate the input signal according to the input voltage range for the ADC.

The PGA gain ranges from -18 dB up to 30 dB, with steps of 6 dB (typ.), as described in

Table 7.
