A method for providing analog control of digital gain in a wireless device is provided. The method includes receiving an analog gain from a baseband modem at a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) having a digital region. The baseband modem is associated with a first operating range, and the digital region of the RFIC is associated with a second operating range. The analog gain is compatible with the first operating range. A digital gain is generated based on the analog gain. The digital gain is converted into a modified digital gain compatible with the second operating range.
