3.3 Avoid Overflow Conditions

When cascading several biquad filters that gain the signal, ensure the overall response of the system does not cause the system to overflow. The biquads are computed in 32-bit fixed point arithmetic. If the overall response of the system in conjunction with the input signal is too large, undesired results can result due to arithmetic saturation. If saturation or overflow occurs, scale the input signal or scale down the coefficients of one or more biquads to keep the overall response of the system from saturating or overflowing.

Note that the overall response of the system is dependent on all the enabled components of the signal chain. The Digital High-Pass filter changes the frequency response at the low frequencies in conjunction with the Digital Biquad Filter response since both of these filters are cascaded together.
