Method to discover and control an amplifier's automatic gain control (AGC) loop bandwidth
Abstract:
An amplifier circuit includes: an amplifier configured to receive at least one input signal and generate an output voltage in response to the at least one input signal and a gain control voltage; a voltage detector configured to generate a detector voltage based on the output voltage; a gain control summation circuit configured to generate an error signal by subtracting the detector voltage from a reference voltage; a loop filter configured to generate the gain control voltage based on the error signal and adjust the loop bandwidth in response to a loop filter adjust signal; and an analog automatic gain control bandwidth controller configured to monitor the detector voltage and the gain control voltage, to provide the reference voltage and the loop filter adjust signal, and to control a loop bandwidth of the output signal.
