Abstract

A circuit for generating a direct control voltage dependent on an alternating voltage, particularly for the generation of a direct control voltage in a system for dynamic compression and expansion, including a storage capacitor for providing the control voltage, at least one electronically controllable charging circuit and at least one electronically controllable discharging circuit connected to the storage capacitor, a comparator for comparing an alternating voltage input signal with a reference value, first and second control circuit paths for connecting the output of the comparator to the control inputs of the charging circuit and the discharging circuit respectively, a time-delay circuit connected in one of the control circuit paths, and an inverter connected in one of the control circuit paths so that the output signals from the two control circuit paths are inverted with respect to one another.
