Figure 1 shows the configuration of a conventional AGC circuit. 1st
In the figure, 1 is an input terminal, 2 is an output terminal, 3 is an amplifier, 4 is a rectifier, 5 is a resistor 6 and a capacitor 7
8 is a resistor, 9 is a variable resistor,
10 is a transistor, and 11 is a resistor. A signal input to input terminal 1 is amplified by amplifier 3 and output to output terminal 2. A part of this output is rectified by the rectifying element 4 and converted to a DC voltage via the smoothing circuit 5, and this voltage changes the resistance value of the transistor 10, and the amount of loss is changed by the resistance ratio with the resistor 11. Control the output to be constant. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when controlling the output to be constant from a certain input level V1 , the output voltage of the smoothing circuit 5 is adjusted by the variable resistor 9 so as to change the operating point of the transistor 10. However, since the element characteristics of the transistor 10 change depending on the temperature, if the temperature changes after adjustment, the operating point V1 in FIG. 2 will shift. Also, transistor 1
If there is variation in 0, there is a drawback that adjustment must be made for each circuit.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers. In FIG. 3, 12 is a comparator, and 13 is a reference voltage power supply. The signal input to input terminal 1 is amplified by amplifier 3,
It is output to output terminal 2. A part of this output is input to the (+) terminal of the comparator 12. A reference voltage is applied to the (-) terminal of the comparator 12. This reference voltage is set so that it becomes (+) when the output of the comparator 12 is equal to or higher than the operating point V1 shown in FIG. The output of the comparator 12 is applied to the base of the transistor 10 via the smoothing circuit 5,
The resistance of transistor 10 decreases as the base voltage increases. Therefore, if a level higher than V 1 in Figure 2 is input to input terminal 1,
The output of the comparator 12 becomes (+), the resistance of the transistor 10 becomes small, the input level is attenuated in proportion to the resistance 11, and the output of the amplifier 3 becomes small.
At the same time, the output of the comparator 12 operates in the direction of becoming a (-) voltage when the output level of the amplifier 3 becomes lower than the reference voltage, and returns to the initial state again.

The operation of the comparator 12 is as shown in FIG. 4b, and in order to suppress output fluctuations of the amplifier 3, the time constant of the smoothing circuit 5 is made long.

Due to the above circuit operation, the output of the amplifier 3 becomes constant. Here, even if the temperature changes or there are variations in the resistance of the transistor 10, the output of the amplifier 3 is applied to the comparator 12 and monitored, so the output is stable regardless of temperature changes or variations in the transistor 10. That's what you get.
