    Abstract: A low noise amplifier for an RF sampling analog front end. The amplifier includes digital step attenuation for applying a selected attenuation to signals received at an input node, and a gain stage coupled to amplify the attenuated signal from the digital step attenuation circuit. In a differential amplifier implementation, a first input capacitor is coupled between a positive side input node and an output of the negative side digital attenuation circuit, and a second input capacitor is coupled between a negative side input node and an output of the positive side digital step attenuation circuit. In some embodiments, variable feedback circuits are coupled between each input node and an output of the corresponding gain stage, to selectively apply active termination at the input at high gain settings of the amplifier. Variable input and output resistors, and programmable noise filtering at the output, are provided in some embodiments.
