Abstract:
A programmable gain amplifier comprises a current source that generates a first current based on a first transfer function. A voltage amplifier receives an input voltage signal and generates an output voltage signal based on a gain A, wherein the gain A is based on a control current and a second transfer function. A compensation module generates the control current based on the first current and a mapping function, wherein the mapping function is based on the first transfer function and the second transfer function to reduce the effect of an independent variable on an overall transfer function that relates the first current to the gain A.

Abstract:
A compensation circuit adapted to receive an input signal for a circuit element to be compensated. The input signal is used as an address to a memory at which a compensated signal is stored. The stored compensated signal is output to the circuit element as the compensated signal therefor. In a specific implementation, the command input is received by a shift register. The shift register converts a serial input to a parallel output. The parallel output of the shift register is combined with the output of a temperature sensor to provide an address for the memory. The command input data includes an address to the particular circuit element to be compensated. The temperature data is used to select a particular page of memory and the remainder of the command input data is used to select data from that page for output as the compensated signal for the selected element. In the illustrative embodiment, the components compensated are automatic gain control amplifiers.
