Low noise, programmable gain current buffer
Abstract:
A current buffer used in a receiver arrangement includes a direct path mode and a mirror path mode. The direct path mode includes a plurality of first set of transistors and a plurality of first set of current sources turned on while all remaining transistors and current sources are turned off, during the direct path mode a current signal at an input node directly appears at an output node. The mirror path mode includes a first transistor and a first current source being turned off while a plurality of second set of transistors and a plurality of second set of current sources are turned on. The current signal goes through a current mirror pair and appears at the output node with a gain which is controlled by slicing one of transistors of the current mirror pair and a second current source allowing multiple gains in the mirror path mode.
