Abstract
Amplitude control circuitry includes a first register for storing received amplitude control data and a second register for storing amplitude control data transfered from first register . Output circuitry controls the amplitude of a received signal in response to amplitude data transferred from second register. A sensor determines when data stored in first register and second register does not match and enables a comparator when data in first register and, second register does not match. Comparator compares a signal output from output circuitry with a reference signal and generates a signal for enabling the transfer of data from first register to second register when the signal output from output circuitry falls within a window defined by the reference voltage.
