With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of wireless standards, it is desirable to run multiple wireless standards, e.g., 4G, 5G NR, and Wi-Fi, on a single signal processing system. Automatic gain control (AGC) is a process of converging on a gain level for optimum signal reception considering the dynamic range of all the components in the receive chain, including analog and digital parts. For certain wireless standard such as Wi-Fi, AGC is required to complete within a short interval. Both RF and baseband gains have to be adjusted within this short time. Discloses in the present disclosure are embodiments of a high-speed and low pin-count interface between an RF circuit and a baseband circuit for AGC communication. The high-speed interface provides a light-weight serial protocol over one or more low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) channels to meet a low-latency requirement for gain updates.
