    摘要: A system to control convergence of a loop to a reference value. A device, under control of the control loop, generates an output signal. A comparator compares the output signal to a reference value. Responsive to the output signal being less than the reference value, outputting an up signal and, responsive to the output signal being greater than the reference value, outputting a down signal. A counter is configured to maintain a counter value which is incremented in response to an up signal and decremented in response to a down signal. The counter outputs a gain control value. An up/down signal tracker is configured to track a pattern of up signals and down signals and compare the tracked pattern to one or more predetermined patterns such that, responsive to the up signals and down signals matching one of the one or more predetermined patterns, the counter size is decreased.

    摘要: In an embodiment, an amplifier circuit includes a second stage that includes a first switch circuit including first and second terminals, a plurality of resistive elements coupled between the first and second terminals of the first switch circuit, and a plurality of switches configured to control an equivalent resistance between the first and second terminals of the first switch circuit. During play mode, the second stage has a gain between the input of the second stage and the output of the second stage of a first value. During a transition from mute mode to play mode, the amplifier circuit is configured to progressively increase the gain of the second stage from a second value to the first value. During a transition from play mode to mute mode, the amplifier circuit is configured to progressively decrease the gain of the second stage from the first value to the second value.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a programmable input impedance circuit for a radio frequency (RF) low noise amplifier (LNA) including a high impedance mode circuit and a low impedance mode circuit. The high impedance mode circuit includes an inductor-degenerated transconductor transistor, an inductor selectively coupled between a source of the inductor-degenerated transconductor transistor and a ground, and a capacitor coupled between a gate of the inductor-degenerated transconductor transistor and the source of the inductor-degenerated transconductor transistor. The low impedance mode circuit includes a shunt resistor selectively coupled between an RF input source and an alternating current (AC) ground.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC), comprising: a first input pin for receiving a first input signal; a first converter configured to convert the first input signal to a first output signal; a first gain stage configured to apply a first gain to the first output signal; gain update circuitry configured to: output a first external gain control signal to a first output pin of the IC; and subsequently output a first internal gain control signal to the first gain stage to update the first gain of the first gain stage, wherein output of the first internal gain control signal is delayed relative to output of the first external gain control signal by a first predetermined delay, the first predetermined delay to compensate for signal chain delay between the first input pin and the first gain stage.
