Abstract:
A variable gain amplifier including a stage. The stage having a set of switchable differential pairs. The stage providing a gain range to a signal and adjusting a gain of the signal. At least one differential pair in each stage is permanently enabled. The variable gain amplifier may include a plurality of cascaded stages including the stage. In addition, the variable gain amplifier may be adjusted through an interleaved thermometer coding method.
