1. A system that facilitates gain adjustments, comprising:
a group of amplifier components, comprising a transimpedance amplifier component, a first voltage gain amplifier component, and a second voltage gain amplifier component, wherein the transimpedance amplifier component receives an input signal, wherein the second voltage gain amplifier component generates a voltage signal, and wherein an output signal of the system is based at least in part on the voltage signal; and
an automatic gain control component associated with the group of amplifier components, wherein, in response to a determination that a third gain level associated with the second voltage gain amplifier component satisfies a defined gain level, the automatic gain control component determines which of a first gain level associated with the transimpedance amplifier component and a second gain level associated with the first voltage gain amplifier component is to be partially reduced, in accordance with an amplifier gain adjustment sequence that, in part, specifies alternating between partial first gain level reductions associated with the transimpedance amplifier component and partial second gain level reductions associated with the first voltage gain amplifier component.
