Abstract:
An input/output circuit (102) implemented in an integrated circuit (100) is described. The input/output circuit comprises an input/output pad (202, 204) and a voltage control circuit (229) coupled to the input/output pad. The voltage control circuit sets a voltage at the input/output pad at a first voltage when the input/output pad is implemented as an input pad (RX Mode control: high) and at a second voltage when the input/output pad is implemented as an output pad (RX Mode Control: low). Methods of implementing input/output circuits in an integrated circuit are also described.
Abstract:
An example automatic gain control (AGC) circuit includes a base current-gain circuit having a programmable source degeneration resistance responsive to first bits of an AGC code word. The AGC circuit further includes a programmable current-gain circuit, coupled between an input and an output of the base current-gain circuit, having a programmable current source responsive to second bits of the AGC code word. The AGC circuit further includes a bleeder circuit, coupled to the output of the base current-gain circuit, having a programmable current source responsive to logical complements of the second bits of the AGC code word. The AGC circuit further includes a load circuit coupled to the output of the base current-gain circuit.
