MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM GAIN
The ALCMIN and ALCMAX register bits set the minimum/maximum gain value that the PGA can be
set to whilst under the control of the ALC. This has no effect on the PGA when ALC is not enabled.

ALCMIN
In normal mode, ALCMAX sets the maximum boost which can be applied to the signal. In limiter
mode, ALCMAX will normally have no effect (assuming the starting gain value is less than the
maximum gain specified by ALCMAX) because the maximum gain is set at the starting gain level.
ALCMIN sets the minimum gain value which can be applied to the signal.
