摘要:
A programmable gain amplifier (PGA) (170) and a switch circuit (300, 400) used in the PGA. The switch circuit includes a first transistor (350-1, 350-2, 350-n) having a source terminal (130-1, 130-2, 130-n) to accept an input signal (171), a drain terminal (140-1, 140-2, 140-n) to provide an output signal, and a gate (120-1, 120-2, 120-n). A power supply provides a gate voltage for the first transistor. The switch circuit can also include a circuit to couple a switch signal (100-1, 100-2, 100-n) to the gate. The circuit turns the first transistor "off" for all values of the input signal when the switch signal is "low". The PGA includes an input stage having an input node to couple the input signal, an output node to provide a gate signal, and at least a first gain stage including a resistor and the switch circuit. A differential gain amplifier (160) can be included to provide an output voltage signal from the gain signal.

A switch circuit is provided. The switch circuit may include a first transistor having a source terminal to accept an input signal, a drain terminal to provide an output signal, and a gate; a power supply providing a gate voltage. The switch circuit may also include a circuit to couple a switch signal to the gate, wherein the circuit turns the first transistor 'off' for all values of the input signal when the switch signal is 'low.' A programmable gain amplifier (PGA) is also provided. The PGA may include an input stage having an input node to couple an input signal, and an output node to provide a gate signal, at least a first gain stage including a resistor and a switch circuit as above. A differential gain amplifier may be included to provide an output signal from the gain signal.
