Hold Time

Once the limiter has finished the attack, it is possible that the battery voltage may recover. At this point the limiter will attempt to restore the gain to its previous setting. It must first satisfy the hold time. This can help prevent the limiter from entering a perpetual attack/release cycle which could be observed by the end user. An example of this behavior is shown in Section 5.
