Provided is system for an improved programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The system includes an amplifier and a first gain control mechanism. The first gain control mechanism includes a circuit input port and is positioned along a feedback path of the amplifier. The first gain control mechanism is configured to (i) receive an input signal and (ii) moderate gains applied to the received input signal, the applied gains including gain values of greater than or equal to one. A second gain control mechanism is coupled to the first gain control mechanism and is integrated with a function of the amplifier. The second gain control mechanism (i) provides gain values of less than one and (ii) decreases a feedback factor of the amplifier when the gain values are provided having values of less than one.
